Difusão do sistema de gestão de pessoas por competências em instituições federais de ensino superior na região nordeste do Brasil

Abstract

The federal government instituted a series of legal provisions normalizing professional development, in order to improve its framework for servers. Thus, introduced Decree no 5.707/06, which regulated the implementation of policies for the development of federal public administration. Specifically in the context of Federal Institutions of Higher Education (FISHE), a regulated legal framework was to guide the management of persons which culminated in the need to implement a policy for the career development of servers. Based on this context, the main objective of this study was to analyze the diffusion of the system of personnel management by compentencies in some FISHE of northeastern Brazil. The theoretical approached the historical evolution and legal context of people management in public organizations, the management of people competencies and a theoretical proposal of the system of personnel management by compentencies in FISHE. The study, exploratory and qualitative, used the method of multiple cases study. This study was conducted in three FISHE located in northeast Brazil. Data were collected through the analysis of institutional documents, realization of a focus group with servers and interviews with managers. Data analysis of focus group and interviews were performed by means of content analysis, besides documentary analysis. The results allowed to analyze the diffusion of competency management system in each FISHE and then the level of diffusion in three FISHE together. The study results revealed: (a) the mobilization of institutional actions that enabled sustainable means for future installation of system of personnel management by compentencies (SPMC); (b) the management of people added, in first place, value servers and only then, the institution itself, however, the society consisted of a point unclear or non incorporated by human resources professionals within the FISHE, (c) people management was not biased by a competency management system and level of preliminary efforts to spread the SPMC was incipient, ie, was in a step that preceeds the mapping of compentencies. The study provided a new look on the dimensions of the SPMC, and thus enabled to set them in a different way to what was originally proposed.
