Desempenho no setor público : inovação na interação universidade e governo local

Abstract

This thesis investigates the implementation of evidence-based management practices in municipal public administration, analyzing the integration between university and government in building effective performance regimes. The study begins with the historical evolution of public administration, from Public Administration to New Public Governance, exploring how different approaches influenced performance management in the public sector. Through autoethnographic research conducted at Juazeiro do Norte City Hall between 2022 and 2024, it examines the viability of innovative municipal management models based on scientific evidence. The investigation articulates three fundamental pillars: performance vision based on performance regimes, structured development of public innovations, and integration with the university in its third mission. The theoretical framework encompasses schools of public management, evidence-based management, public sector performance, and the university's role in government innovation. The results demonstrate the feasibility of implementing evidencebased management projects in municipal governments through academic articulation, contributing to the development of more efficient and scientifically grounded administrative practices. The study fills a significant gap in the literature on integrated management models applicable to Brazilian municipal reality, offering relevant contributions to improving local public administration.
