A influência dos padrões para sistemas de gestão no desempenho das empresas / The influence of management systems standards on the performance of firms

Fabrizio Giovannini 18 November 2008 (has links)
As empresas precisam de sistemas de regras, formais ou não, para serem administradas. Os sistemas de regras para a administração são aqui chamados de sistemas de gestão. Entre as funções do administrador está, portanto, a construção de sistemas de gestão que atendam às necessidades dos stakeholders da empresa e que assegurem a sobrevivência e a prosperidade da mesma. O problema pode ser dividido em duas partes: que tipo de sistema é o melhor para a organização e qual a melhor forma de implantá-lo. No corpo do conhecimento da administração há inumeráveis soluções propostas para esses problemas, embasadas em diferentes abordagens e teorias, e dirigidas a diferentes tipos de empresas e contextos. Entre os esforços para a busca de soluções cada vez melhores ganhou ímpeto, nos últimos 15 anos, um movimento de criação de Padrões para Sistemas de Gestão (PSGs). O padrão que se tornou mais conhecido é a norma ISO 9.000, voltado à criação de sistemas de gestão da qualidade. Depois desse padrão pioneiro, outros foram e estão sendo criados com o objetivo de abranger a maioria das áreas dos sistemas de gestão: meio ambiente, saúde e segurança do trabalho, responsabilidade social, governança, demonstrações financeiras e contabilidade, entre outros. Apesar de um número crescente de organizações estar optando por usar estes padrões para criar seus sistemas de gestão, há dúvidas e controvérsias sobre sua eficiência e eficácia. Esta tese investiga a influência dos PSGs sobre o desempenho das empresas. Através de uma pesquisa quantitativa compara o desempenho, ao longo de 4 anos, de empresas com diferentes níveis de adoção de PSGs. A pesquisa foi feita com todas as indústrias de autopeças brasileiras permitindo, dessa forma, certo controle das variáveis intervenientes. A qualidade dos dados contou com a inestimável colaboração da empresa de informações comerciais Serasa S.A. que forneceu os dados de desempenho financeiro e de outras variáveis intervenientes. Utilizando-se técnicas estatísticas uni e multivariadas, entre elas a Modelagem de Equações Estruturantes, rejeitou-se a hipótese nula de que não há influência dos PSGs sobre o desempenho das empresas. Esse resultado, em conjunto com outras evidências estatísticas, permite afirmar dentro dos limites do modelo conceitual da pesquisa que a adoção de PSGs influencia positivamente o desempenho das indústrias de autopeças brasileiras. Há também indícios de que empresas pequenas e médias se beneficiam mais da adoção de PSGs do que as grandes empresas. Portanto, Padrões para Sistemas de Gestão podem ser recomendados como uma ferramenta potencialmente eficaz, especialmente para empresas industriais. / Firms, to be managed, need systems of rules, formal or not. The systems of rules for business management are called here management systems. Among the functions of the manager there is, therefore, the construction of management systems that fulfill the firms stakeholders necessities and that secure the survival and prosperity of the firm. The problem can be divided into two parts: what kind of system is the best for the organization and which is the best way to implement it. In the administrations body of knowledge there are innumerable proposed solutions to these problems, based in different approaches and theories, and directed to different kinds of firms and contexts. Among the efforts for the search of better solutions it is getting stronger, in the last 15 years, a movement for the creation of Management Systems Standards. The Standard that became mostly known is the ISO 9.000 norm, dedicated to the creation of quality management systems. After this pioneer Standard, other where and are being created with the goal of enclosing the majority of the areas where management systems are applied: environment, health and safety, social responsibility, governance, finance and accounting, among others. Although a growing number of organizations is opting to use these Standards to create their own management systems, there are doubts and controversies regarding its efficiency and effectiveness. This thesis investigates the influence of Management Systems Standards over the firms performance. Trough a quantitative research it compares the performance, in a 4 years period, of firms with different levels of Management Systems Standard. The research was done with all the auto parts manufacturers of Brazil allowing, in this manner, a measure of control over the intervenient variables. The quality of the data is due to the inestimable collaboration of the commercial information firm Serasa S.A. that supplied the data of financial performance and other intervenient variables. Using uni and multivariate statistical techniques, the null hypothesis that there is no influence of Management Systems Standards over firms performance was rejected. This result, joined with other statistical evidence, allows affirming within the limits of the conceptual framework that the adoption of Management Systems Standards positively influences the performance of the Brazilian auto parts manufacturers. There are also clues that small and medium companies benefit more from the adoption of Management System Standards than large firms. Therefore, Management Systems Standards can be recommended as a potentially effective tool, especially for manufacturing firms.

A relação entre os sistemas de gestão por indicadores e o desempenho das instituições de ensino superior / The relationship between management systems by indicators and the performance of high education institutions

Leonardo Fabris Lugoboni 23 March 2017 (has links)
Esta pesquisa analisa a influência dos indicadores no desempenho das Instituições de Ensino Superior. Para isso, foi realizado uma pesquisa em duas etapas. Na primeira, identificou-se na literatura um conjunto de indicadores e dimensões que foram submetidos a onze especialistas em ensino e gestão de desempenho. Desta etapa resultou um dashboard composto por nove dimensões e 67 indicadores. Em uma segunda etapa, foi realizado um survey com 109 instituições de ensino, utilizando estes indicadores. Como resultados, todos os especialistas ressaltaram a importância da gestão de desempenho para o atingimento dos resultados e objetivos estratégicos, assim como as principais relações de causa e efeito. A partir do survey realizado, o estudo apresenta, por meio dos testes qui-quadrado, de regressão logística múltipla e de análise de correspondência múltipla associações entre o IGC da instituição e a presença, a importância e a forma como os gestores usam os indicadores. Analisando conjuntamente a presença, a importância e o uso dos indicadores na tomada de decisão, percebe-se que apenas dois indicadores - vínculo a programas internacionais (em sua unidade ou fora dela) e alunos que fazem mais de um curso (fidelização) - mostraram-se associados ao IGC em todas as análises estatísticas. Analisado as dimensões, apenas \"Acadêmico\", \"Sociedade/extensão\" e \"Financeiro\" não se mostraram associadas ao IGC em pelo menos uma análise. As dimensões \"Internacionalização e Pesquisa\", \"Aluno/Cliente\" e \"Mercado\" foram as dimensões que se apresentaram mais associadas ao IGC, o que ocorreu em no mínimo 50% dos testes realizados. Do ponto de vista gerencial, esta pesquisa apresenta um dashboard de gestão para instituições de ensino superior. Destaca-se a apresentação de indicadores e dimensões para se gerenciar uma instituição de ensino e a forma como esses indicadores e dimensões estão associados ao IGC. / The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of performance indicators on the performance of High Education Institutions. For this, the research\'s been organized in two different stages. For the first stage, a set of indicators and dimensions were identified in the literature which were submitted to eleven specialists in teaching and performance evaluation. As result, this stage led to a dashboard composed of nine dimensions and 67 indicators. In the second stage, a survey was carried out with 109 educational institutions, using the 67 indicators. In the result, all experts emphasized the importance of performance management to achieve strategic results and goals, as well as the main relationships of cause and effect. From the survey conducted, the study presents, through chi-square tests, multiple logistic regression and multiple-correspondence analysis, the associations between the IGC of the institution and the presence, importance and the way managers use the indicators. By analyzing the presence, importance and use of the indicators in a whole, in the decision-making process, what can be noted is that only two indicators - international programs links (same institutions or partnership) and students enrolled to more than one course (loyalty) were associated to IGC in all statistical analyzes. Analyzing the dimensions, only \"Academic\", \"Society / extension\" and \"Financial\" were not shown to be associated with the IGC in at least one analysis. The dimensions \"Internationalization and Research\", \"Student / Customer\" and \"Market\" were the most associated dimensions with the IGC, which occurred in at least 50% of the performed tests. From an administrative point of view, this research presents a management dashboard for high education institutions. It is worth to highlight the presentation and dimensions of indicators to manage an educational institution and the way these indicators and dimensions are associated with the IGC.

Lorimar Francisco Munaretto 26 April 2013 (has links)
O presente estudo apresentou os objetivos de: desenvolver lista de indicadores para compor modelo de avaliação de desempenho para as CEs e após verificar sobre o uso e finalidade dos indicadores CEs, na sequência foi verificado sobre a existência de correlação (associação) dos indicadores com as finalidades de tomada de decisão estratégica, monitoramento e controle, educação e aprendizagem, legitimidade e comunicação externa, e por fim foi verificado sobre as finalidades mais relevantes no uso dos indicadores nas CEs. O desenvolvimento metodológico do estudo ocorreu em três etapas, sendo que na primeira e segunda etapa a pesquisa se caracterizou como do tipo exploratória, com dados coletados por meio das técnicas de pesquisa de grupo focal e Delphi e a terceira etapa da pesquisa foi do tipo descritiva e correlacional, com dados coletados por meio de pesquisa Survey. A primeira etapa do estudo iniciou a partir da relação teórica de trinta e quatro indicadores, que por meio da pesquisa de grupo focal junto a cooperativa Creluz foi possível acrescentar outros trinta e três indicadores de uso das CEs. Estes indicadores foram distribuídos nas seguintes dimensões: econômico-financeira, eficiência operacional, pessoas e inovação, qualidade técnica e comercial, satisfação do consumidor, relacionamento com associados e benefícios sociais e ambientais. Na segunda etapa do estudo, os 67 (sessenta e sete) indicadores foram submetidos a apreciação de quinze especialistas em eletrificação por meio da técnica de pesquisa Delphi, tendo em vista selecionar os indicadores mais importantes (privilegiados) para compor um modelo de avaliação de desempenho para as CEs - MADCE. Os especialistas indicaram quarenta e um indicadores para compor o modelo de avaliação de desempenho. Na sequência na terceira etapa do estudo os quarenta e um indicadores do modelo de avaliação, foram submetidos por meio de um instrumento de coleta de dados junto as CEs, tendo em vista: i) verificar sobre o uso e as finalidades de uso dos indicadores pelas diretorias das CEs, ii) verificar sobre o grau de associação/correlação do uso dos indicadores com as finalidades de tomada de decisão estratégica, monitoramento e controle, legitimidade, educação e aprendizagem e comunicação externa, e iii) verificar sobre as finalidades mais relevantes no uso dos indicadores. Os resultados demonstram que os indicadores que compõe o modelo de avaliação são quase sempre e sempre utilizados pelas CEs, com níveis de uso variando de 0,49 a 0,87 de uma escala de zero a um. Os indicadores mais utilizados pelas CEs fazem parte das dimensões que retratam sobre a eficiência operacional, o relacionamento com associados e econômico-financeiros. Quanto às finalidades das informações dos indicadores pelas diretorias, os resultados demonstram que os indicadores possuem os seguintes propósitos: i) para o monitoramento e controle (0,70), ii) para a tomada de decisão estratégica (0,67), iii) para a comunicação externa (0,66), iv) para a legitimidade (0,63) e v) para a educação e aprendizagem (0,62) de uma escala de zero a um. Após verificou-se sobre os graus de correlação (associação) dos indicadores com as finalidades descritas. Os resultados demonstram correlações fortes e positiva dos indicadores (variáveis) com a tomada de decisão estratégica e monitoramento e controle e correlação moderada e positiva com a educação e aprendizagem, legitimidade e comunicação externa. Por fim, foi possível verificar sobre as finalidades mais relevantes em função da frequência do número de correlações fortes. Os resultados demonstram que as finalidades mais relevantes no uso dos indicadores são as seguintes, pela ordem: tomada de decisão estratégica, monitoramento e controle, legitimidade e educação, aprendizagem e comunicação externa. / The present study has the following objectives: develop list of indicators to compose model performance evaluation for ECs and after checking on the use and purpose of the indicators ECs following was found on the correlation (association) with the indicators purposes of strategic decision making, monitoring and control, education and learning, legitimacy and external communication, and ultimately was found on the most important purposes in the use of indicators in ECs. The methodological development of the study occurred in three stages, with the first and second stage of the study was regarded as exploratory type, with data collected by the techniques of focus group research and Delphi and the third stage of the research was descriptive and correlational, with data collected through Survey Research. The first phase of the study started from the theoretical relationship of thirty-four indicators that through focus group research with the cooperative Creluz could add another thirty-three indicators of use of ECs. These indicators were distributed in the following dimensions: economic and financial, operational efficiency, people and innovation, technical and commercial quality, consumer satisfaction, and relationship with associated social and environmental benefits. In the second stage of the study, 67 (sixty seven) indicators underwent assessment of fifteen experts electrification through the Delphi survey technique, in order to select the most important indicators (privileged) to compose a model of performance evaluation for ECs - MADCE. Experts indicated forty-one indicators to compose the model performance evaluation. Following the third stage of the study the forty-one indicators of the evaluation model, submitted by an instrument to collect data from the ECs, in order to: i) check on the use and purpose of use of indicators by boards of ECs, ii) check on the degree of association / correlation of the use of indicators for the purposes of strategic decision making, monitoring and control, legitimacy, education and learning and external communication, and iii) check on the most important purposes in use of indicators. The results demonstrate that the indicators that make up the evaluation model are almost always used by CEs and always with use levels ranging from 0.49 to 0.87 on a scale of zero to one. The indicators used by more ECs are part of the dimensions that portray on operational efficiency, relationships with associates and economic-financial. As for information purposes by the boards of the indicators, the results show that the indicators have the following purposes: i) to monitor and control (0.70), ii) for strategic decision making (0.67), iii) for external communication (0.66), iv) to the legitimacy (0.63) ev) for education and learning (0.62) on a scale from zero to one. After it was found on the degrees of correlation (association) of the indicators for the purposes described. The results show strong correlations and positive indicators (variables) with strategic decision making and monitoring and control and moderate and positive correlation with education and learning, legitimacy and external communication. Finally, it was possible to check on the most relevant purposes depending on the frequency of the number of strong correlations. The results show that the most important purpose in the use of indicators are as follows, in order: strategic decision making, monitoring and control, legitimacy and education, learning and external communication.

The Effect of Social Capital on Organizational Performance in Different Cultures: A Cross-National Comparison of the United States and South Korea

Song, Jung Hyun 05 July 2016 (has links)
The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of social capital on organizational performance of local government and whether the effect varies across national cultures. The study hypothesized that organizational level social capital in a public sector organization has a positive influence on organizational performance. To investigate the relationship, surveys were sent to public officials of local government organizations in the city of Omaha in the United States and Wonju city in South Korea. Based on Hofstede’s definition of national culture, these two countries contrast strongly on important cultural characteristics. The two cities were selected as typical representatives of each country. Social capital was operationalized as structural, relational, and cognitive, and organizational performance was measured in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, responsiveness, and equity. The surveys were distributed to public officials working in various city departments. The departments were chosen to represent the three main policy types (as defined by Lowi): regulatory policies, distributive policies, and redistributive policies. Out of 407 surveys sent, 294 usable and valid responses were received. The data were analyzed using SPSS computer software and included descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Pearson’s simple correlation, t-test, factor analysis, linear regression analysis, dummy regression analysis, and moderator regression. The results showed that organizations with higher levels of structural, relational, and cognitive social capital achieve higher levels of organizational performance. However, the effect of social capital in a public sector organization on organizational performance did not differ across cultures. Rather, within a given culture, the relationship varied by policy type. The findings provide some practical guidelines to government leaders on how to increase social capital to enhance organizational performance. By integrating public organizational theories with social capital literature, this study suggests the determinants of public sector performance.

ORGANIZATIONAL CAPABILITIES AS PREDICTORS OF EFFECTIVE KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT: AN EMPIRICAL EXAMINATION

Anderson, Kimberly K. 01 January 2009 (has links)
Knowledge management has become one of the most important trends in business, yet many knowledge management initiatives fail. To understand the success and failure of knowledge management, firms must identify and assess the organizational capabilities required for the effort to prosper, which is the focus of this study. Literature has offered important theoretical grounding for this study with regard to organizational capability as a predictor of knowledge management effectiveness, but empirical examination is lacking. The organizational capabilities have been identified as knowledge infrastructure capability (consisting of cultural, structural, and technological) and knowledge process capability (consisting of knowledge acquisition, conversion, application, and protection). The research model was adopted from Gold, Malhotra, and Segars (2001). This research broke new ground in the field of knowledge management by examining the relationships between knowledge infrastructure capability, knowledge process capability, and organizational effectiveness from the dual perspective of the team (within business units) in contrast to the organization (across business units). Organizations develop knowledge infrastructure to drive desired behaviors, yet knowledge workers develop processes to circumvent the organization's infrastructure (cultural and structural barriers). This may contribute to the problem of knowledge management failure. However, the relationships between knowledge infrastructure and knowledge processes have not been empirically examined, until this study. In addition, most knowledge management research is conducted at the organization level, yet most knowledge management implementation occurs at the team level (project teams, business units, social groups). To help bridge the gaps between theory and practice, this study aligned the unit of analysis more closely with the practitioners' level of implementation. Using only the organization as the unit of analysis would provide little guidance for business leaders in how they can influence the success of knowledge management programs, and it would present an incomplete picture when assessing the relationships between organizational capabilities and knowledge management effectiveness. The organization perspective helps with generalizability of this study, while the team perspective leads to results of a more informative and prescriptive nature for practitioners. Because the field of knowledge management is driven by practical need, this study offers many important managerial implications. Data was collected from several business units of a Fortune 100 multinational firm, and assessed using Structural Equation Modeling. The structural models were developed to test the hypothesized relationships and answer the research questions. As a result, this research provides empirical evidence that knowledge management capabilities are a contributing factor of organizational effectiveness. In addition, it can be concluded that firms with superior absorptive capacity and knowledge integration processes will improve their knowledge management capability. The results of this study include the findings that knowledge infrastructure drives knowledge processes, that organization-level knowledge processes drive team-level knowledge processes, and that knowledge protection is seen as a corporate responsibility rather than a team or individual responsibility. Overall, the findings conform to the literature and lend credibility to Gold et al.'s (2001) theory that effective knowledge management, as measured by its impact on organizational performance, is dependent on the firm's knowledge infrastructure capability and knowledge process capability.

[en] IMPACT OF STRATEGIC PLANNING ON THE PERFORMANCE OF BANKS IN BRAZIL / [pt] IMPACTO DO PLANEJAMENTO ESTRATÉGICO SOBRE O DESEMPENHO DE BANCOS NO BRASIL

MARCELA NEVES OLIVEIRA REGIS 01 October 2012 (has links)
[pt] Apesar de diversas pesquisas terem sido conduzidas sobre o impacto do planejamento estratégico no desempenho das empresas, os resultados ainda são inconclusivos. Enquanto alguns estudos encontraram uma relação positiva, outros não encontraram nenhuma relação estatisticamente significativa e outros, ainda, identificaram uma relação negativa, embora de baixa magnitude. A diversidade de definições do domínio conceitual dos constructos planejamento estratégico e desempenho organizacional, encontrada na literatura, pode ser uma das explicações para os resultados contraditórios. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a relação entre planejamento estratégico e desempenho financeiro em bancos que operam no Brasil. O construto planejamento foi conceitualmente delimitado aos aspectos relacionados a intensidade e grau de formalização/sistematização do planejamento. Neste estudo, realizou-se uma survey com bancos (tanto bancos brasileiros, quanto filiais de bancos estrangeiros que operam no Brasil). Os dados sobre planejamento foram colhidos, por meio de um questionário estruturado, junto a executivos responsáveis por esta área em suas empresas, enquanto os dados sobre desempenho foram obtidos de fontes secundárias divulgadas pelo Banco Central do Brasil. / [en] In spite of several researches have been conducted on the impact of strategic planning in the performance of firms, the results are still inconclusive. While some studies found a positive relationship, others have found no significant statistical relationship and yet others have identified a negative relation, although of low magnitude. The diversity of definitions of the conceptual constructs field of strategic planning and organizational performance found in literature, may be one explanation for the contradictory results. This study aimed to identify the relationship between strategic planning and financial performance of banks operating in Brazil. The construct planning was conceptually bounded to aspects related to the intensity and degree of formalization/systematization of planning. A survey was performed with banks (Brazilian and subsidiaries of foreign banks operating in Brazil). The data on planning were collected by means of a structured questionnaire, along with the executives responsible for this area at their companies, while the data on performance were obtained from secondary sources disclosed by the Central Bank of Brazil.

[en] THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINANCE SUBCULTURE, CULTURE AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE / [pt] A RELAÇÃO ENTRE A SUBCULTURA DE FINANÇAS, A CULTURA ORGANIZACIONAL E O DESEMPENHO DA ORGANIZAÇÃO

LUCIANO QUINTO LANZ 16 June 2004 (has links)
[pt] Esta dissertação tem como propósito analisar o processo de gerenciamento cultural da Embratel, já no período pós- privatização, no qual ocorreu o alinhamento dos valores da organização em torno dos valores da subcultura de finanças, que assumiu papel dominante, e verificar seus impactos no desempenho organizacional. A empresa enfrentou uma crise em seus resultados, em meio a alterações no ambiente externo, o que levou a reformulação de seus objetivos estratégicos, que passaram a ter mais foco na geração de resultado. Através de uma análise qualitativa, com a abordagem de estudo de caso e modelos que relacionam a emergência de subculturas, a cultura e o desempenho, procurou-se, através de pesquisa documental e de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, identificar as mudanças na cultura da empresa, o processo de concordância cultural e seus reflexos no desempenho financeiro, comparado a outras empresas do setor. Os resultados confirmam a literatura sobre o assunto, que indica que existe uma forte correlação entre a emergência de subculturas dominantes, períodos de turbulência interna e externa e mudanças na estrutura da organização e evidenciam a importância de algumas variáveis no gerenciamento da cultura voltada para o desempenho, como a estrutura de poder, o processo decisório, o processo de comunicação, o sistema de recompensas e os processos de seleção, treinamento e de avaliação. / [en] This essays focuses on analyzing Embratel (a large telecommunications company) cultural management, in the post privatization period, when organizational values got aligned with the values of the finance subculture, that emerged as the dominant subculture, and identify its impact in organizational performance. The organization, confronting with an hostile environment, faced a crisis in its results, that drove to a reformulation in its strategic objectives, that gained a financial focus. Through qualitative analyses, a case study was conducted relating the emergence of subcultures, culture change and performance. The research was based on a documental analysis and semi-structured interviews. The cultural agreement process and its impacts in financial performance were investigated. The conclusion of this study reinforces the hypothesis in the organization theory that indicates a strong correlation between the emergence of dominant subcultures, periods of external and internal turbulence, changes in the organization structure, showing the key influence of some variables in the cultural changing management process with focus on performance, such as: power structure, training, communication, reward, selection and evaluation systems and decision process.

Organizational Decision-Making Through Employee Diversity

Taiwo, Kehinde Olayinka 01 January 2019 (has links)
The global nature of today's business environment, coupled with technological advances, compels managers to work with an increasingly diverse workforce worldwide. The purpose of this multiple-case study was to explore how bank managers used employee diversity effectively in the organizational decision-making process. Participants were 10 frontline management staff (middle and executive managers) with the required employee engagement skills involved in the decision-making process of a Nigerian bank. The conceptual framework for this study was rational choice theory, also called rational action theory or choice theory. Participants responded to 8 open-ended semistructured interview questions. The data collection process included validating and triangulating information gathered via member checking and review of archival business documents and peer-reviewed journals. Thematic analysis was used to analyze data from the study. Five key themes emerged from data analysis: recruitment, retention, and improvement of diverse talents; education and integration of employees with a divergent institutional heritage; engagement and leveraging of diverse stakeholders; business innovation, and productivity; and decision-making, and profitability. The implications of this study for social change include employee diversity management and strategic practices that contribute to effective decision-making process in the organization to improve socio-economic development of stakeholders (customers, board of directors, employees, policymakers and business contractors) and promote cohesion within bank staff and stakeholders resulting to improved business relationship and tolerance in society.
