A amostra foi composta pelos Agentes Fiscais de Rendas e Técnicos da Administração Tributária pertencentes ao quadro de funcionários da Delegacia Regional Tributária do Vale do Paraíba. Como instrumento de coleta de dados foram utilizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os funcionários da Delegacia Regional Tributária do Vale do Paraíba e com os funcionários pertencentes ao Núcleo Estratégico e à Escola Fazendária do Estado de São Paulo, lotados na cidade de São Paulo. Os relatos são apresentados como Histórias de Vida e são analisados com base na metodologia desenvolvida por J. B. Thompson, para análise das formas simbólicas, denominada Hermenêutica de Profundidade (HP). A análise dos relatos confirma a hipótese levantada, ou seja, as reformas levadas a efeito pelo Estado brasileiro não criaram uma nova cultura nas práticas e representações de seus funcionários / Abstract: This research general purpose was to analyze the organizational culture developed by the changes movement in the administrative procedures originated with the reforms implemented by the Brazilian government, especially in São Paulo state, after 1990¿s, concerning the workers activities from ¿Delegacia Regional Tributária do Vale do Paraíba. The sample consisted of Income Fiscal Agents and Tributary Administration Technicians who belong to the staff from ¿Delegacia Regional Tributária do Vale do Paraíba. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with the workers from ¿Delegacia Regional Tributária do Vale do Paraíba¿ and workers from ¿Núcleo Estratégico¿ and ¿Escola Fazendária do Estado de São Paulo, located in São Paulo city. The reports are presented as Life Stories and are analysed based on the methodology developed by J. B. Thompson, for symbolic ways analysis, called Depth Hermeneutics (DP). The reports analysis confirms the hypothesis that the changes made by the Brazilian State did not create a new culture concerning its workers representations and practices / Doutorado / Politicas de Educação e Sistemas Educativos / Doutor em Educação

Policy transfer and service delivery transformation in developing countries : the case of Malawi health sector reforms

Tambulasi, Richard Ignitious Chipopopo January 2011 (has links)
Policy transfer defies the notion of national boundaries in policy making and development. With globalisation processes in the picture, purely state centric policy making models are not the only option. International and domestic policy entrepreneurs have been pivotal in transfer processes. For developing countries, international donor organisations have been instrumental through conditioning assistance to policy reform. Due to the prevailing hierarchical aid regimes, the assumption is that developing countries would implement these policies for the fear of losing the much-needed aid. However, this study argues that the actual implementation of reforms emanating from the global arena is not an automatic process even in the context of coercive transfers, as it is mediated by country specific contextual frameworks. Moreover, even if implemented, the extent to which the transfers attain the promised transformation ends depends on prevailing environmental factors, appropriateness of the reforms, and the implementers' in-depth understanding of the reform instruments. The analysis used the cases of hospital autonomy and district health management decentralisation reforms which are based on the new public management (NPM) paradigm to examine the mechanisms of policy transfer; factors constraining or facilitating the adoption and/or implementation of transferred policies; and the impacts of the policy programmes on service delivery transformation in Malawi. A multilevel framework was used to analyse the dynamics at international, national and application levels. It used a qualitative research strategy. Therefore, data was collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, documents, and observations. The study finds that due to Malawi's heavy aid reliance, international donor organisations attempted to introduce the hospital autonomy and district health management decentralisation reforms on its policy agenda through aid conditioning mechanism which has coercive attributes. In the former, USAID as an international institutional entrepreneur was the driving force through its non-project assistance (NPA) aid regime while in the later case it was the European Commission within the institutional framework of the Lome IV Convention. A comparative analysis of the two reforms revealed that a combination of contextual issues of: mode of transfer, policy content and political-economic context, path dependence, parliament-cabinet configuration, bureaucratic politics, pressure from citizens, institutional compatibility and prerequisites, and social economic forces; determined their adoption and subsequent implementation. While hospital autonomy was rejected by cabinet, and not implemented, despite large amounts of donor resources invested in the transfer processes because of these contextual issues, decentralisation was implemented as the environment was favourable, although it met bureaucratic resistance. However, the study found that when implemented, decentralisation faced several contextual challenges including modest levels of application, reproductions, reversals, cultural factors, and unintended consequences so that it has not achieved the intended transformational results. To this end, the findings provide a better understanding of the dynamics of policy transfer in developing countries and work as a springboard for donor organisations to reorient their approach in aiding policy development in developing countries.

Transformational Leadership Behaviors of Public Sector Leaders in Barbados

Munro-Knight, Shantal Maxine 01 January 2018 (has links)
Senior officials in the public service in Barbados, who are charged with the responsibility of leading and managing government ministries and departments, play a critical role in fostering reform initiatives. Few empirical studies have examined specific leadership behaviors in the context of managing change in Barbados. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to identify the specific leadership behaviors of senior officials in public service and to explore the use of transformative leadership by public sector administrators to effect reform initiatives. With Bass and Avolio's full-range leadership theory (FRLT) as the theoretical framework, the research question for this study was used to examine how public sector leaders in Barbados applied transformational leadership to transform the public sector. Fourteen permanent secretaries were initially sampled using the multifactor leadership questionnaire; criterion sampling was then used to identify 7 of these leaders for interviews. The data were analyzed by the researcher for the identification of themes. The results revealed 4 main findings that highlighted the importance of leadership in the reform process and in the specific leadership behaviors used by transformational public servants. Mentorship, team building, and the use of individualized approaches were being used by these leaders to manage change and reduce resistance. In conclusion, while the leaders used the full-range of leadership behaviors in the FRLT, transformational leadership practices were highly effective in managing change. The findings may help public leaders design processes to encourage change in the Barbados public sector.

Against the Grain: The IMF, Bread Riots, and Altered State Development in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

Leathers, David M 01 January 2015 (has links)
Since the end of World War II, and especially over the past three decades, there has been a dramatic increase of interactions between international financial institutions (IFIs) and states. This paper will explore these interactions by examining the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This paper rests on the assumption that the complex implications of these interactions are not yet comprehensively understood and will move towards that goal by setting forth a collection of new approaches to further understand IFI-state interaction. It will discuss Jordan’s economic and political history, structural adjustment policies implemented by the IMF, and responses and consequences of such policy on economic, cultural, and political dimensions. Then, theories on sovereignty, identity, nationalism and colonialism will be applied to Jordan-IMF interaction in order to suggest new ways of understanding the implications of IFI-state interaction.

Para isso, apresentamos uma contextualização sobre a reforma da gestão pública e a criação das agências reguladoras no Brasil, destacando referências nacionais nas esferas federal e estadual. A partir dessas bases, analisamos as inovações deste modelo, em especial a independência decisória, a flexibilidade administrativa e a autonomia de gestão, bem como identificamos obstáculos na concretização desta autonomia prevista em lei. Em especial, estudamos o impacto da vacância em cargos de diretoria da ARSESP, o contingenciamento orçamentário, a relação com a assessoria jurídica da Procuradoria Geral do Estado e as vantagens da multissetorialidade desta Agência. Verificamos que os problemas relatados não são passíveis de solução considerando apenas a ARSESP de forma isolada, mas dependem, ainda, de mudanças sistêmicas na legislação que regulamenta a Administração Pública no Brasil, em especial no tocante às necessárias reformas no modelo de compras, licitações e contratos públicos, no regime jurídico único dos servidores públicos e na execução orçamentária com reflexos nos limites impostos pela responsabilidade fiscal. Por fim, verificamos, ainda, que o fortalecimento da autonomia da Agência depende, também, de um entendimento sobre a importância política da regulação independente e do fundamental papel de controle exercido pelas agências reguladoras. / In this case study, we examine São Paulo State’s Regulatory Agency for Sanitation and Energy (ARSESP), a special regime autarchy, looking at its institutional evolution and its independence. We look at the context around public sector reform and the creation of regulatory agencies in Brazil, highlighting national references at federal and state levels. From this basis, we analyze this model’s innovations, especially independent decision-making, administrative flexibility and broad management autonomy, as well as identifying obstacles to fulfilling this autonomy as written in law. In particular, we study the impact of the Agency’s multi-sector remit, board-level vacancies, withheld budgets and relationship with the general attorney. We verify that the problems reported by ARSESP cannot be solved within the Agency alone, but depend, in most cases, on systemic changes to legislation on public procurement, public sector recruitment and budget management in Brazil. Finally, we also verify that the strengthening of the Agency’s autonomy depends also on an understanding of the political importance of independent regulation.

Reformar à esquerda : a relação de prefeituras petistas com a administração pública gerencial

Fontoura, Leandro Heitich January 2015 (has links)
Há duas décadas, o PT sustenta uma posição crítica à reforma do aparelho do Estado realizada durante o governo Fernando Henrique Cardoso (PSDB). No discurso tradicional petista, a Administração Pública Gerencial (APG) introduzida no país naquele período é apresentada como um conjunto de políticas de gestão com conteúdo político intrínseco e predefinido – de corte neoliberal e conservador – e não uma iniciativa que pode ser politicamente orientada pela esquerda. Essa posição se mantém ao longo dos anos pela necessidade de sustentar o antagonismo político e eleitoral em relação ao PSDB. O que esta tese mostra é uma revisão do discurso antirreforma petista. Diante dos problemas urbanos das cidades, dos entraves da burocracia pública e do aumento das demandas sociais, há prefeitos do partido implementando políticas normalmente associadas aos tucanos com a finalidade de modernizar a gestão e torná-la mais eficiente e efetiva. Essa mudança de postura não se dá sem constrangimentos, tensionamentos e conflitos com setores da legenda e do funcionalismo público, mas há nela sinais que apontam para a construção de um novo olhar petista sobre a APG. O gerencialismo, associado à participação, torna-se um aliado no fortalecimento da democracia e na busca pelos históricos compromissos sociais da esquerda. / For two decades, PT has held a tough critic regarding the state reform carried out by Fernando Henrique Cardoso (PSDB) during his government. According to PT’s traditional speech, the Managerial Public Administration introduced in the country in that period is considered a set of management policies within a neoliberal and conservative political bias. Through this view, the Managerial Public Administration agenda cannot be politically driven by a left party. This position has been maintained for so long because PT needs to keep the political and electoral antagonism in relation to PSDB. This thesis shows a review of PT's antireform speech. In contact with urban problems, public bureaucracy barriers and increasing of social demands, PT mayors are implementing policies associated with PSDB in order to modernize the management and make it more efficient and effective. This posture change is characterized by constraints, tensions and conflicts with party groups and public servants. But it has signs pointing out to the construction of a new view on Managerial Public Administration by PT. Associated with political participation, managerialism becomes an ally for democracy strengthening and for the pursuit of historical left social compromises.

Public sector reform within the South African perishable export industry

Jansen, Lucien 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Public sector reform has been around since the 1980s and was a result of criticism against traditional public administration for being too slow and inefficient to address public needs. Although Public sector reform is common in developed countries, evidence of public sector reform has rarely been seen in developing countries. The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether there is any evidence of public sector reform in a developing country such as South Africa. The author divides public sector reform into three categories, namely: new governance, regulatory governance and new public management (NPM). Based on the theoretical information analysed, a list of qualifying criteria for public sector reform is compiled. The author then focuses on the Perishable Products Export Control Board (PPECB), a statutory organisation acting as a service provider for the perishable products export industry and a regulator on behalf of the South African government. The author analyses the model on which South African perishable exports are based and studies the organisation‟s history, strategies, operational structure and its relationship with government. The information gathered is then compared to the list of qualifying criteria compiled for public sector reform. It was found that the model, and specifically service delivery strategies by the PPECB, provides conclusive evidence of new governance, regulatory governance and NPM. It was also found the model is a hybrid between traditional public administration and public sector reform, as it contains characteristics of both. The study takes the form of a literature review. Research was conducted through studying various literatures pertaining to new governance, regulatory governance and new public management. In addition, the author gathered relevant information from within the PPECB, the South African Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) and the export industry. Further information was also collected by means of unstructured interviews with senior individuals employed by the PPECB. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Openbare hervorming bestaan sedert die jare tagtig en het basies ontstaan as gevolg van kritiek omdat tradisionele openbare administrasie te traag en onbevoeg was om openbare behoeftes aan te spreek. Hoewel openbare hervorming in ontwikkelde lande stewig gevestig is, is daar ook bewys daarvan in ontwikkelende lande. Die doel van hierdie ondersoek was om vas te stel of daar enige bewys van openbare hervorming in ‟n ontwikkelende land soos Suid-Afrika bestaan. Die outeur het openbare hervorming in drie kategorieë verdeel, te wete nuwe regeringsbestuur, regulatoriese regeringsbestuur en nuwe openbare bestuur. Op grond van ‟n analise van die teoretiese inligting, is ‟n lys van kwalifiserende kriteria – gerig op openbare hervorming – saamgestel. Die outeur het vervolgens op die Bederfbare Produkte Uitvoerbeheerraad (PPECB) gefokus – dit is ‟n statutêre liggaam wat as diensverskaffer vir die bederfbare produkte uitvoernywerheid en as ‟n reguleerder namens die Suid-Afrikaanse regering optree. Die outeur het ‟n analise gedoen van die model waarop Suid-Afrikaanse bederfbare uitvoere gebaseer is en voorts die organisasie se geskiedenis, strategie, operasionele struktuur en sy verhouding met die regering bestudeer. Die inligting wat ingewin is, is vervolgens met die lys van kwalifiserende kriteria – gerig op openbare hervorming – vergelyk. Daar is bevind dat die model – en spesifiek diensleweringstrategie by die PPECB – voldoende bewys lewer van nuwe regeringsbestuur, regulatoriese regeringsbestuur en nuwe openbare bestuur. Daar is ook bevind dat die model ‟n hibridisering is tussen tradisionele openbare administrasie en openbare hervorming aangesien dit karaktereienskappe van albei bevat. Die studie is in die vorm van ‟n literêre oorsig gedoen. Navorsing is uitgevoer deur die bestudering van verskeie geskrifte oor nuwe regeringsbestuur, regulatoriese regeringsbestuur en nuwe openbare bestuur. Daarbenewens het die outeur relevante inligting binne die PPECB, die Suid-Afrikaanse Departement van Landbou, Bosbou en Visserye en die uitvoernywerheid, ingesamel. Nog inligting is ook bekom deur ongestruktureerde onderhoude met senior werknemers van die PPECB te voer.
