Orientador: Bruno Chaves Franco / Resumo: Propôs-se investigar a relação entre Cultura Organizacional (CO) e Gestão do Conhecimento (GC) em uma instituição pública. Para tanto, utilizou-se o modelo de CO para a exploração dos traços de envolvimento, consistência, adaptabilidade e missão, bem como os modelos Seci, com os processos de conversão de conhecimento (socialização, externalização, combinação, internalização) e Escala de Gestão do Conhecimento (EGC) para compreender processos e aplicação da GC. Análises qualitativa e quantitativa foram realizadas para explorar e compreender resultados. A análise quantitativa teve como instrumento de avaliação questionários likert de cinco pontos para a CO e a GC. Foram utilizados ainda os métodos estatísticos de Alfa de Cronbach para validação do padrão de resposta dos questionários de CO e GC, que apontaram índices acima de 0,9, indicando ótimo nível de aceitação e confiabilidade destes. Utilizou-se também o Coeficiente de Correlação de Pearson (r) para verificar as relações existentes entre os indicadores: traços da CO e fatores da GC. Além disso, na análise qualitativa, verificou-se a conversão do conhecimento na percepção dos gestores da unidade. Como resultado, identificaram-se processos que precisavam de melhorias, como trabalho em equipe e fluxo da informação. Na análise dos traços da CO, os dois índices de maior variabilidade foram registrados na orientação externa: adaptabilidade (50%) e missão (43,07%). Na integração interna, apresentaram-se índices aproximados: envo... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Mestre

The purpose of Understanding Why International Student Applicants Choose a Public Four-Year Institution was to apply a mixed-methods research approach to California State University, San Bernardino’s (CSUSB) international student population to better understand the factors associated with an international student’s decision-making processing to study abroad. Internationalization by institutions reflects the current two million international students studying around the world. In recent years internationalization has become more of an economic driving force, whereas in the past it was an opportunity for diversifying knowledge and research. Studies on push and pull factors reflect reasons why international students have decided to go abroad. Factors range from lack of access at home institutions for various programs to the desire to learn about Western culture. Seeing as the population of these studies is so diverse ethnically and culturally, it is important to be mindful of the various forms of capital students possess as an international student and the uniqueness this brings to each students experience. A questionnaire was utilized to gather quantitative data to provide descriptive statistics of the population, and interviews were conducted with participants to acquire the rich stories. The questionnaire submissions resulted in 52 returned surveys for a response rate of five percent. Six interviews were conducted, which provided a diverse group of international student representation for the analysis of the rich text allowing for a strong understanding of this specific case study. Based on the interviews conducted, responses reflected many of those that previous studies found. All but one interviewee mentioned the costs of attending as a deciding factor. Reputation of the institution and prestige of a US degree were also factors mentioned by the majority of participants. Both participants from African countries mentioned a lack of program availability as a reason to go abroad, while both Indian participants mentioned the desire to work after graduating for experience before returning home. Interestingly, most participants mentioned a connected family member to either the institution itself or the state of California as a reason for choosing CSUSB. The data that were collected for the purposes of this study did show some correlation to previous studies findings. The qualitative data proved useful in better understanding the needs of specific students, while also alluding to potential geographic considerations that need to be had when recruiting abroad and meeting the needs of international students around the world.

Cette thèse porte sur analyser la place de l'audit, plus particulièrement l'audit externe, dans l'évolution de gouvernance des organisations publiques à Djibouti qui a débuté depuis plus de quinze (15) ans. Il s'agit aussi d'apporter des éléments de réponse sur les formes d'audit qui sont associés à cette évolution de la gouvernance. Il s'agit ici d'une l'analyse des pratiques de contrôle externe relatives au secteur public djiboutien et plus particulièrement celles concernant les établissements publics, en s’appuyant sur un cadre théorique privilégiant les relations entre parties prenantes de la gouvernance de ces organisations.Pour ce faire, cette recherche se propose, après avoir proposer un cadre d'analyse de la gouvernance et des systèmes de contrôle externe dans lequel évoluent les établissements public djiboutien, de montrer la place essentiel de l’audit externe dans la gouvernance de ces établissements publics en tant que mécanisme de règlement des conflits d’intérêts entre les principaux acteurs de la vie publique. / This thesis analyzes the place of the audit, more particularly the external audit, in the evolution of governance of the public organizations in Djibouti which began for more than fifteen years. This study is also bringing answers on the forms of audit which are associated to this evolution of the governance.To do it, this search proposes, having proposed a frame of analysis of the governance and the systems of external control in which evolve the Djiboutian public institutions, to show the essential place of the external audit in the governance of these public institutions as mechanism of regulation of conflicts between the main actors of the public administration.

Since 2003, almost every public institution has developed a web site through etransformation project (eDTr) in Turkey. When there are so many institutions and different web sites, a need for standard becomes inevitable. To address this need, a standard was published by T&Uuml / RKSAT A.S. in January 2009 which constitutes of the rules and recommendations for these web sites referencing international web standards as well. The purpose of this study is to analyze the compatibility of public institutions&rsquo / web sites in Turkey with the T&Uuml / RKSAT standard. In this study, 32 rules are selected to be verified for 50 public institution web sites. 20 of the rules are verified with a tool named WSSCV which is developed in the context of this thesis, 5 of the rules are verified with a commercial tool named Total Validator, and 7 of the rules are verified manually. Results show that, the standard prepared by T&Uuml / RKSAT is not used during the development of a public institution web application. Compliance of the checked web sites to the standard is very low. However, the standard also needs to be updated according to today&rsquo / s technology.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015 / O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar resultados de pesquisa sobre o conhecimento de gestores da UNIFESP acerca dos processos de administração pública na vida acadêmica. A população do estudo foi formada por 17 gestores da administração da universidade, sendo que 14 deles são gestores da administração central da UNIFESP e três são diretores administrativos dos campi da universidade. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de instrumento composto em duas partes: formulário de caracterização dos sujeitos e escala atitudinal do tipo Likert. Para a sistematização e análise das informações coletadas, uma versão digital do formulário foi desenvolvida em banco de dados Microsoft Access versão 2013. Os resultados mostram que os sujeitos percebem: a necessidade do seu saber fazer e/ou do seu conhecimento para o exercício de sua prática e se configuram como os principais agentes na condução das transformações do processo de trabalho e a existência de uma nova concepção de gestor para lidar com as mudanças no mundo do trabalho. Porém, a maioria deles não se percebe com autonomia na sua prática profissional. Os dados apontam para a inexistência de política de treinamento e desenvolvimento de pessoal, da falta de indicadores de qualidade para avaliação dos servidores e da contribuição da instituição para o desempenho das competências necessárias para o desenvolvimento da função. Os participantes sinalizam a importância de processos de educação permanente para gestores de instituições públicas, bem como indicam a necessidade de movimentos e processo que valorizem os saberes da pratica e as experiências dos mesmos. Conclui-se que o avanço tecnológico e a globalização da educação e da informação têm trazido novas configurações às IFES. Competências administrativas e acadêmicas precisam ser integradas e direcionadas para o atendimento destas demandas, especificamente do mundo de trabalho. Para uma boa gestão das IFES é necessária formação de lideranças que possibilitem que a mesma desempenhe o seu compromisso social. Como produto, apresenta-se um relatório técnico de pesquisa que possa subsidiar ações de formação e desenvolvimento de gestores no âmbito da própria universidade. / The purpose of this study is to present research results about the knowledge of managers of UNIFESP about the public administration process in academic life. The study population was composed by 17 university administration managers, which 14 of them are managers of the central administration of UNIFESP and three are directors of the university's campuses. The data collection was held using an instrument composed of two parts: characterization form of the subjects and attitudinal scale of Likert type. For the systematization and analysis of the information collected, a digital version of the form was developed in Microsoft Access version 2013 database. The results show that the subjects realize: the need of their know-how and/or their knowledge for their practice exercise, and they configure themselves as the main agents in the conduct of the transformations in work process and the existence of a new conception of manager to deal with the changes of the working world. But, most of them don't realize themselves with autonomy in their professional practice. The data point to the inexistence of training politics and staff development, lack of quality indicators for the servers’ evaluation and of the institution's contribution to the development of the necessary skills for the performance of the function. The participants indicate the importance of permanent education processes for public institutions managers, as well as they indicate the need for movements and process that valorize the knowledges of the practices and experiences of them. It's concluded that the technological advance and the globalization of education and information have brought new configurations to the IFES. Administrative and academic skills need to be integrated and directed to satisfy these demands, specifically the working world. For a good management of the IFES is necessary to form leaderships that enable them to fulfill their social commitment. As a product, it's presented a research technical report that can support formation actions and development of managers in the university itself.

However, one must consider the fact that it is not just a private building. Among federal agencies there are the universities. With the launch of the REUNI in 2007, the volume of work at the Federal University of Viçosa - UFV increased considerably showing problems that were not previously perceived. In this context, and the lack of research into the Construction Engineering related to this issue at UFV, this study aimed to map and analyze the production process of public buildings, including the planning, execution and control, as the object study the internal bureaucratic procedures in the current process for the production of projects and works of the institution. The research was qualitative in nature, and investigation was developed relying on field research for this mapping process. Therefore, it was conducted semi structured interviews with those involved from the beginning to the end of the process, analysis of the procedures adopted by the team, analysis of documents used and produced during the process, analysis of integration between those involved. Through research it was possible to confirm the need for an update of the institution regarding the design process and execution of works and the importance of establishing a project management program to improve the quality and speed of projects and building production of the institution. / Boa parte das pesquisas com o foco em gestão e coordenação de projetos tem sido em escritórios de projetos da iniciativa privada, incorporadoras e construtoras. Porém, deve-se considerar o fato de que não é apenas a iniciativa privada que constrói. Dentre os órgãos públicos federais destacam-se as universidades. Com o lançamento do REUNI em 2007, o volume de obras na Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV) aumentou consideravelmente, evidenciando problemas que antes não eram percebidos. Sob esse contexto e a não existência de pesquisas no âmbito da Engenharia da Construção relacionadas com essa problemática na UFV, o presente trabalho objetivou mapear e analisar o processo de produção de edifícios públicos, abrangendo as fases de planejamento, execução e controle, tendo como objeto de estudo as tramitações internas no processo atual de produção de projetos e obras da instituição. A pesquisa foi de natureza qualitativa, e a investigação foi desenvolvida apoiando-se em pesquisa de campo para mapeamento deste processo. Para tanto foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os agentes envolvidos do início ao fim do processo, análises dos procedimentos adotados pela equipe, análise dos documentos utilizados e produzidos durante o processo e análise da integração entre os envolvidos. Através da pesquisa foi possível confirmar a necessidade de uma atualização da instituição quanto ao processo de projetos e execução de obras e a importância de se estabelecer um programa de gerenciamento de projetos para melhoria da qualidade e agilidade da produção de projetos e obras da instituição.

La gestion maîtrisée du foncier constitue un enjeu de premier plan en Bretagne, où les tendances autour de l’artificialisation des sols s’avèrent préoccupantes. Cet enjeu invite à s’interroger sur les conditions et les formesd’un développement urbain plus respectueux d’une ressource foncière que l’on sait, par définition, limitée dans l’espace. Dans ce contexte a été créé en 2009 l’Etablissement Public Foncier de Bretagne, EPF d’Etat sepositionnant comme outil au service des collectivités bretonnes afin de les accompagner dans l’élaboration de leur stratégie foncière et la mise en oeuvre d’opérations, dans le domaine prioritaire de l’habitat. La création de cette nouvelle structure entend participer à l’échelle régionale à la régulation des marchés et à l’émergence d’opérations plus vertueuses du point de vue foncier. Notre réflexion vise à analyser les mécanismes d’interrelations entre fonctionnement des marchés et évolution des formes d’habitat en focalisant le regard surl’échelon intercommunal et les territoires à faible tension foncière. Ces territoires sont en effet peu investis par le champ de la recherche alors même qu’ils constituent, du fait de faibles coûts du foncier, les nouveaux « réceptacles » du desserrement urbain. A partir de l’étude de 4 territoires intercommunaux et de l’analyse des propos tenus par différents acteurs rencontrés, la thèse met en exergue des pistes d’enjeux pour une maîtrise des marchés fonciers par les opérations d’habitat. Ces enjeux sont ensuite déclinés en recommandations dans unedernière partie de la thèse / Sustainable land management is a leading stake in Brittany, where the artificialisation of land tendencies turn out worrisome. This stake invites to wonder about the conditions and the forms of a more respectful urban development. We know that the land resource, is, by definition, limited in space. In this context was created in 2009 “l’Etablissement Public Foncier de Bretagne”, a public state operator positioning as a tool in the service of the Breton communities to accompany them in the elaboration of their land strategy and the implementation of operations, in the priority domain of housing. The creation of this new structure intends to participate on a regionalscale in the regulation of markets and in the emergence of more virtuous operations. Our reflection aims at analyzing the mechanisms of interrelations between working of markets and evolution of urban forms by focusing on the “intercommunal” level and the low land pressure territories. These territories are indeed little surroundedby researches even though they establish, because of moderate costs of the land, the new "receptacles" of the urban sprawl. From the study of 4 “intercommunaux” territories and the analysis of the words held by various metactors, the thesis highlights tracks of stakes for a control of land markets by housing operations. These stakes are then declined in recommendations in the last part of the thesis

This qualitative study looked for barriers to curricular change in general education mathematics at a large public university (LPU) in the Western United States. The literature showed that a number of national organizations dealing in math education have recommended alternatives to the traditional algebra-intensive curriculum. LPU still relies predominantly on traditional College Algebra as its quantitative literacy (QL) course. With such an algebra-heavy emphasis, students may be missing more relevant and useful mathematics. In addition, the College Algebra course has a low success rate, which becomes a barrier to student retention and graduation. Interviews were conducted with 14 participants who included faculty, staff, and administrators. Analysis of the data showed 12 barriers that were grouped into four clusters: goals, control, quality, and communications. Finally, recommendations in each of the four clusters are offered for removing barriers, considering alternative curricula, and designing an intentional curriculum around QL learning outcomes.
