Título: Processo de liderança e engajamento de equipes: um estudo no Instituto Federal da Bahia (IFBA) - Campus Salvador Autor(es): Bastos, Marília Gabriele de Oliveira Nascimento Orientador: Silva, Anielson Barbosa da Abstract: In light of social, economic, and technological transformations, the adoption of management practices that promote greater efficiency, effectiveness, and innovation in public organizations has become necessary. In this context, leadership and team engagement play a strategic role in institutional development. This study aimed to analyze how the leadership process influences team engagement at the Federal Institute of Bahia (IFBA) – Salvador Campus, as well as to characterize the leadership exercised on campus, identify the factors that determine team engagement, and understand how leaders’ actions may foster or hinder it. The theoretical framework addressed the historical evolution of leadership, contemporary models, such as Sensitive, Transformational, and Servant Leadership, and engagement theories applied to the public sector, with particular emphasis on Public Service Motivation (PSM). Methodologically, the study adopted an interpretive paradigm, with a qualitative approach and an exploratory design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with leaders and subordinates from three administrative sectors, totaling 17 intentionally selected participants. Data analysis was conducted using Interpretive Comprehensive Analysis. The results reveal that leadership in the studied context is configured as a relational, situated, and dynamic process, legitimized by listening, empathy, and the construction of trust-based relationships. Team engagement proved to be heterogeneous and fluctuating, sustained mainly by the quality of interpersonal relationships and a sense of belonging, often associated with the “idea of family.” It was observed that the Performance Management Program (PGD) contributed to greater transparency and goal definition; however, hybrid work posed challenges to maintaining social bonds and a collective sense of purpose. Among the factors limiting engagement, bureaucratic rigidity, lack of institutional recognition, and functional overload stand out. It is concluded that leadership fosters engagement when it transcends technical competence and becomes humanized, serving as a mediator between institutional demands and the subjective needs of public servants.

Título: A influência dos vieses de excesso de confiança e aversão à perda na relação entre alfabetização financeira e bem-estar financeiro: uma análise com os servidores do IFBA Autor(es): Silva, Edilza Gomes da Orientador: Callado, Aldo Leonardo Cunha Abstract: The growth of household indebtedness in Brazil, intensified by the expansion of access to credit and digital financial platforms, has heightened concerns regarding the population’s financial health. Among public servants, this scenario takes on particular contours: due to job stability and income predictability, patterns of consumption and resource management are established that may have repercussions for financial well-being. In this context, it becomes essential to understand how psychological and cognitive factors modulate the use of financial knowledge. The main objective of this study was to analyze the role of overconfidence and loss aversion biases as mediators in the relationship between financial literacy and the financial well-being of employees at IFBA. Methodologically, a quantitative, explanatory, and cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 331 professionals, comprising Administrative Technicians (42.6%) and Faculty Members (57.4%). Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), supported by the bootstrapping technique. The results revealed that the direct effect of financial literacy on financial well-being was statistically significant (b = 5.661; p < 0.001), while the total indirect effect had a coefficient of 1.744, with high statistical significance (p < 0.001), indicating partial mediation by overconfidence bias. Loss aversion did not act as a mediating variable in this relationship. The modeling results suggest that financial well-being depends less on the stock of knowledge and more on how the individual perceives their reality, regulates emotions, and makes decisions, which translates into behaviors such as financial planning, saving, and controlling impulsive spending. Therefore, it is recommended that institutional financial literacy policies move beyond a strictly technical model toward behavioral approaches focused on calibrating perceptions and managing emotions.

Título: Práticas sustentáveis em centros da área da saúde: percepção de servidores da UFPB Autor(es): Leal, Ana Karenina Dantas Silvestre Orientador: Coelho, Ana Lúcia de Araújo Lima Abstract: This research investigates sustainability in higher education, contextualized by the urgency of global guidelines such as the Agenda 2030, which position universities as key agents in promoting sustainable development. The research problem examines how staff members from the health-related teaching centers at the Universidade Federal da Paraíba perceive the sustainable practices developed within the institution in light of the guidelines established in the Institutional Development Plans and the Sustainable Logistics Plan (PLS). The general objective of this study is to understand the perceptions of staff members from the health-related teaching centers at the Universidade Federal da Paraíba regarding the sustainable practices implemented at the institution, in light of the guidelines and actions established in the Institutional Development Plans (2019–2023 and 2024–2028) and the PLS. The methodological approach adopted is qualitative and interpretivist, grounded in Sociological Discourse Analysis, using as documentary corpus the strategic plans, sustainable logistics plans, and institutional reports, in addition to data obtained through 21 semi-structured interviews conducted with faculty members and administrative staff from two teaching centers. The main findings indicate a mismatch between the institutional discourse, which seeks to consolidate the image of a “sustainable university,” and the practices perceived by staff members, which appear fragmented and predominantly oriented toward operational actions such as reducing paper consumption and managing waste. The study reveals that, although normative advances exist, there are shortcomings in communication and engagement, resulting in widespread lack of awareness regarding the goals established in the Institutional Development Plans and the Sustainable Logistics Plan. The study’s contributions lie in providing a critical diagnosis that may assist managers in formulating more participatory and effective sustainability policies within the academic context. Finally, the limitations of the research relate to the geographical and sectoral delimitation of the analyzed object, as well as the restricted focus on the environmental dimension, which resulted in the secondary consideration of the social and economic dimensions. Additionally, the short implementation period of the 2024–2028 Institutional Development Plan and the 2025 Sustainable Logistics Plan did not allow sufficient time for their broad dissemination and assimilation by institutional teams. Moreover, the study did not include the perspectives of certain relevant institutional actors, specifically senior administrative managers, members of the Environmental Management Commission, and outsourced staff. In this regard, future research is encouraged to expand the scope of analysis to other sectors and even to other institutions, as well as to include the participation of these actors who were not considered in this study, in order to enable a more systemic understanding of institutional dynamics. It is also recommended that longitudinal research designs be adopted to monitor the evolution and consolidation of practices over time. Editor: Universidade Federal da Paraíba Tipo: Dissertação

Capacidades gerenciais dinâmicas e ambidestria : o processo de transformação digital de bancos tradicionais brasileiros

Título: Capacidades gerenciais dinâmicas e ambidestria : o processo de transformação digital de bancos tradicionais brasileiros Autor(es): Freitas, Monalisa Tatiane de Medeiros Orientador: Machado, André Gustavo Carvalho Abstract: Digital transformation has profoundly reshaped business models, organizational structures, and competitive dynamics in the banking sector. In highly regulated incumbent organizations, this process entails additional challenges related to institutional complexity, regulatory requirements, and the need to reconcile technological innovation with operational efficiency and organizational stability. In this context, this thesis aims to examine the interactions between dynamic managerial capabilities and organizational ambidexterity in the process of digital transformation in the Brazilian banking sector. To achieve this objective, a qualitative approach was adopted based on the practice narratives method. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 managers from five traditional Brazilian banks, complemented by documentary analysis of institutional materials. Data analysis was carried out through the examination of individual case narratives, followed by a cross-case analysis aimed at identifying patterns, recurrences, and variations in managerial and ambidextrous practices associated with digital transformation. The results indicate that digital transformation does not constitute an exclusively technological process, but rather a continuous and institutionally conditioned organizational phenomenon. Organizational ambidexterity emerges as an intermediary mechanism between managerial action and digital transformation, materializing through hybrid arrangements that reconcile digital innovation, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. However, such ambidextrous capability does not emerge spontaneously from organizational structures; instead, it is constructed, adjusted, and sustained through the strategic actions of managers. The empirical analysis identifies four interdependent attributes of dynamic managerial capabilities: managerial human capital, managerial social capital, managerial cognition, and managerial political capital. The latter emerges as a particularly relevant attribute in highly regulated environments, manifesting in managers’ ability to navigate hierarchical structures, negotiate strategic priorities, and build organizational legitimacy. The findings contribute to the literature by evidencing the integrated relationship between dynamic managerial capabilities, organizational ambidexterity, and digital transformation, as well as by identifying hybrid ambidexterity arrangements and different stages of digital transformation maturity among the analyzed banks. Additionally, the study extends the dynamic managerial capabilities framework by empirically demonstrating managerial political capital as a complementary attribute to human, social, and cognitive capital.
