Análise do programa de gestão e desempenho (PGD) sob a ótica da governança pública

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the implementation and management of the Management and Performance Program (PGD) in federal universities in the state of Paraná from the perspective of public governance principles. The objective of the research was to verify whether the actions adopted by the analyzed institutions align with the principles of responsiveness, integrity, reliability, regulatory improvement, accountability, and transparency, as established by the normative framework of public governance. Methodologically, this is a qualitative and exploratory study, grounded in documentary research and data collection through questionnaires sent to the institutions via the Access to Information Law. The research scope comprised four federal universities located in Paraná: the Federal University of Technology – Paraná (UTFPR), the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), the Federal University of Latin American Integration (UNILA), and the Federal University of the Southern Frontier (UFFS). Data analysis was conducted using content analysis, with categories predefined based on public governance principles. The results indicate that the implementation of the PGD occurs heterogeneously among the institutions, reflecting organizational, structural, and institutional maturity differences. All institutions demonstrated adherence to the principles of responsiveness, integrity, regulatory improvement, and accountability, particularly regarding normative adaptation and internal process organization. In contrast, the principles of reliability and transparency were partially met by the UFFS, especially concerning the disclosure of information and performance reports related to the PGD. It is concluded that the PGD is a powerful instrument for transformation, capable of reconciling the quality of life of public servants with increased institutional productivity. However, its effectiveness is contingent upon the organizations’ institutional capacity to shift toward results-oriented management, the existence of mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating deliverables, and the strengthening of governance practices that transcend mere regulatory compliance.
