O papel da avaliação de desempenho individual na gestão de pessoas de uma instituição federal de ensino superior pública

Abstract

Law 11,091, as well as Decree, 5,825/06 are two of the legal devices that frame AD in Federal Institutions of Higher Education in Brazil with guidelines for the personal and professional development of employees in the career of administrative technicians. The UFRB as a result of the Federal University Restructuring and Expansion Support Program (REUNI) is the field of study of this research. With a proposal for a competency-based performance evaluation program that aims to identify and also provide its servants with fundamental knowledge, skills and attitudes for their own personal and institutional development, UFRB was a fertile field to study the practice of AD in public administration that by its nature, it carries specificities of the public sphere that cannot be disregarded in its evaluation processes. In this context, the objective of this research was to understand the role of the performance evaluation of administrative technicians in Education (TAEs) for people management at UFRB and more specifically to identify the basic assumptions that make up the AD at UFRB and to identify the system, the process and possible uses of AD at UFRB. Data collection was based on documentary research that included the analysis of legal provisions and the institution itself, as well as interviews with the Managers of the Pro-Rectory of Personnel Management (PROGEP) of UFRB. The analyzes indicated that the AD of the TAEs of the UFRB, although it is in line with the legal provisions provided for in law, is too directed towards the achievement of Progression by merit. Managers believe that readjusting and revising the AD would make the assessment more effective and closer to the objectives for which it was designed. The results of this investigation show that there is a mentality on the part of the interviewed managers about AD that is very close to what is expected from this management instrument: seen with a communicative role to the People management actions. On the other hand, there are challenges to be overcome so that, in practice and in the reality of a Brazilian public, federal and higher education organization, the servers’ AD processes are effective for the server, for the organization and for society.
