The main objective of this research is evaluate the satisfaction of the users about the actions applied to women health in the primary health care in Rio Grande do Norte, observing the information available through the Programa de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Aten??o B?sica (PMAQ-AB). The specific objectives are: the evaluation of aspects related to women health; the evaluation of the specific actions related to welcoming the pregnant and; the evaluation of the information related to the postpartum. This dissertation is characterized as an evaluative research made through a multicentric transversal study, using a quantitative approach, which is part of the External Evaluation of the PMAQ-AB in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, made by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. Some secondary data of the interviews with the users who were in the Basic Health Units were used during the External Evaluation of the PMAQ-AB in Rio Grande do Norte. The sample was collected following these criteria: the users that were in the Basic Health Units to attend to any procedure; they must had used the services for at least one year; and they must had agreed to participate the research. The ones that were attending to the services for the first time and the ones that did not use the services for at least 12 months were excluded from the sample. To the data collection it was used a chart of variables/indicators with the following information to the analysis: Women Health Care, Specific Care of the Pregnant and Information about he postpartum. The descriptive analysis of the data were made through absolute and relative frequencies of the variables using the software Statistic Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows, version 22.0.0. The results show a positive picture of the satisfaction of the users about the actions of the primary healthcare in women health in the State of the Rio Grande do Norte. Another important analysis is the integration of the primary health care with other points of the Healthcare System aiming to reorient the Model of Healthcare as a starter of the access and quality of the services given to the users. Therefore, the evaluation of the satisfaction of the users in health care is essential among all the agents involved in the process of consolidation of the Unified Health System SUS. Also having the need of rethinking the professional practice, reorganizing the processes of work of the multiprofessional teams in health care, enabling financial resources, inputs and materials, planning and systematizing new actions of healthcare aiming to ensure a perfect health care to the people / Este trabalho discute a avalia??o da satisfa??o das usu?rias sobre a aten??o ? sa?de da mulher em rela??o ? qualidade da Aten??o Prim?ria ?

No. of bitstreams: 1 LUÍSA EDUARDA LUCENA DE MEDEIROS - DISSERTAÇÃO (PPGECA) 2017.pdf: 2318998 bytes, checksum: a10de376910ac93a77b155d2faff276d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-10 / Um dos grandes desafios enfrentados pelas concessionárias responsáveis pelo abastecimento de água nos centros urbanos é a prestação de um serviço de qualidade sob os aspectos de infraestrutura, operação, manutenção de redes, qualidade da água oferecida, satisfação do usuário atendido, entre outros. Com usuários cada vez mais atentos e defensores de seus direitos, as concessionárias necessitam de critérios mais rigorosos para garantirem um atendimento dentro dos padrões mínimos estabelecidos por lei. Com o intuito de colaborar com a melhoria do serviço de abastecimento oferecido à população, o presente trabalho propôs o desenvolvimento de um índice de desempenho do serviço de abastecimento de água na cidade de Campina Grande - Paraíba (IDSA-CG). Foram estudados 22 indicadores divididos em cinco categorias: operacional, econômico-financeira, qualidade, infraestrutura e recursos humanos. Dentre os indicadores selecionados está o de satisfação do usuário, proposto neste trabalho, a partir do levantamento, em todos os bairros da cidade, da percepção da população a respeito do serviço oferecido pela concessionária e incorporado aos demais para compor, o mais fielmente possível, o IDSA–CG. Os resultados referentes ao estudo individual dos indicadores mostraram que os indicadores de infraestrutura (extensão e cobertura de rede) e qualidade da água (incidência de cloro, turbidez e coliformes totais e conformidade de quantidade de amostras) apresentaram valores positivos, próximos ou iguais aos limites superiores definidos na pesquisa. As maiores deficiências do serviço foram associadas aos indicadores operacionais (perdas na distribuição, macromedição, consumo médio de água e consumo de energia) apontando para necessidade de melhoria na operacionalidade do sistema e os indicadores econômico-financeiros (tarifas médias, evasão de receitas e despesas com energia elétrica) que alertam para uma maior fiscalização das ligações clandestinas de água e um melhor monitoramento da inadimplência dos usuários. Quanto aos indicadores de recursos humanos, o resultado mais divergente do esperado foi obtido para a produtividade de pessoal total, indicando um número de funcionários por ligações de água abaixo da média brasileira. O indicador de satisfação apresentou um valor de 45,44% que mostrou um usuário medianamente satisfeito com o serviço oferecido pela empresa distribuidora de água na cidade. Finalmente, a partir dos indicadores escolhidos, pode-se obter o IDSA-CG e conclui-se que o serviço atualmente disponibilizado à cidade de Campina Grande é classificado como REGULAR, sendo necessárias medidas estruturantes e administrativas para a melhoria da gestão do mesmo. / One of the biggest challenges faced by the water utilities in the urban areas is to provide a quality service regarding aspects such as infrastructure, operation, network maintenance, quality of delivered water, users’ satisfaction etc. As the users pay more attention and stand for their rights more and more, the water utilities tend to make use of more strict criteria to guarantee that the service fulfills the minimum standards stablished by the current legislation. In order to cooperate for an improvement in the supply service offered to the population, this study suggests the development of a performance index for the water supply service in the city of Campina Grande – Paraíba (IDSA-CG). To achieve this, 22 indicators were studied and divided into five categories: operational, economic/financial, quality, infrastructural and human resources. Among the selected indicators to this study, there is one called user’s satisfaction, which was created based on a survey, in all neighborhoods of the city, to know the population’s perspective about the service provided by the water utility and, thus, being incorporated to the other indicators in order to form, as faithfully as possible, the IDSA-CG. The results related to the individual study of the indicators showed that the infrastructural indicators (network extension and coverage) and the water quality indicator (incidence of chlorine, turbidity and total coliforms, as well as conformity with sample quantity) obtained optimum values, close or equal the superior limits defined in the research. The main service drawbacks are associated to the operational indicators (losses in the distribution, macro measurement, average water consumption and energy consumption), with a need to improve the system operation, and also to the economic/financial indicators (average water charges, income evasion and electricity expenses), with a more efficient demand to trace clandestine water connections and to monitor the users in debt. Regarding the human resources indicators, the most divergent outcome compared to the expected result refers to the total employee productivity, which indicated a number of employees per water connections below the Brazilian average. The satisfaction indicator obtained a result of 45,44%, which means that the user is fairly satisfied with the service offered by the water utility in the city. Finally, based on the selected indicators, it was possible to calculate the IDSA-CG and the service currently available to the city of Campina Grande can be classified as REGULAR, with the need to introduce structural and administrative measures in order to perform a better system management.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyse the factors that contribute to the successful ERP system implementation, the stakeholders of ERP system and how these stakeholders are related to CSFs of ERP system implementation. Design/ methodology/ approach: The research methodology approach chosen for this research is based on reality and clear research which includes qualitative and quantitative method for collecting and analysing data. Data for this research consists of secondary data, gathered by conducting a critical literature review of research papers published by journals, magazines and books.  The content analysis and comparative study methods are used to analyse data. Findings: Seventeen CSFs that are considered to contribute to ERP implementation success have been identified in accordance with their prioritization where twelve of them have been described; by analyzing some widely accepted in prior researches. Three stakeholders of ERP such as “Top management, IT professionals and End-users” have been identified and their involvement in the ERP implementation has been described. The result revealed that several CSFs of ERP such as “user training and involvement, ERP teamwork and selection of ERP are directly related to End-users”. The findings also revealed that Top management are related to majority of CSFs such as “top management support and commitment, change management, business plan and vision, system quality, project management, effective communication plan, selection of ERP, monitoring and focused performance evaluation, project champion, and business and IT infrastructure”. The result from analysis also showed a correlation between IT professionals and several CSFs such as “selection of ERP, system quality, user training and involvement, post-implementation evaluation, business plan and vision, change management, ERP teamwork, effective communication plan, and business and IT infrastructure”.

Plusieurs études ont révélé des problèmes récurrents au niveau de la performance et de la gestion des projets de reconstruction à la suite des catastrophes dans les pays en voie de développement (PEVD). Ces projets doivent faire face à des conditions de vulnérabilité des habitants, engendrées par des facteurs politiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels. Les divers participants - contraints par un accès limité à l’information - sont confrontés à travailler dans un contexte hostile ayant un niveau d’incertitude élevé. Ce niveau d’incertitude augmente les risques du projet de reconstruction, particulièrement le risque d’insatisfaction des usagers. Ce travail vise à mettre en parallèle l’analyse du système organisationnel adopté pour la conduite d’un projet de reconstruction et celle du niveau de satisfaction des usagers. Il émet l’hypothèse suivante: deux facteurs organisationnels influencent largement le niveau de satisfaction de la part des bénéficiaires d’un projet de reconstruction de logements à la suite d’un désastre en PEVD: (i) le niveau de centralisation de la prise de décisions (jumelée au manque d’information) au sein de la Multi-Organisation Temporaire (MOT); et (ii) la capacité de la structure organisationnelle de la MOT d’impliquer la participation active des usagers au niveau de la planification, de la gestion, du financement et du design du projet. Afin d’atteindre cet objectif, une recherche empirique fut menée pour analyser le cas des inondations ayant eu lieu en 2003 dans une ville dans la région du Maghreb. Le niveau de satisfaction des usagers a été déterminé grâce à des indicateurs de transfert de technologie qui se basent sur l’analyse du « Cadre Logique » - une méthode d’évaluation largement utilisée dans le domaine du développement international. Les résultats de la recherche ne visent pas à identifier une relation de cause à effet entre les deux variables étudiées (la structure organisationnelle et la satisfaction des usagers). Cependant, ils mettent en évidence certains principes du montage et de la gestion des projets qui peuvent être mis en place pour l’amélioration des pratiques de reconstruction. / Construction projects are temporary endeavors with a defined beginning and end, conducted by a temporary and multi-disciplinary team called a Temporary Multi-Organization (TMO). In the hostile environment of post-disaster reconstruction, participants of the TMO must confront high levels of uncertainty which increases project risks. The non-acceptability of project outcomes is one of the most frequent risks reported in literature (UNDRO, 1982; Barenstein, 2008; Dikmen, 2006). Acceptability is related with users’ satisfaction. However, according to the theory of bounded rationality, actors of the TMO - confronted with limited information and resources - cannot achieve an optimal solution. Instead, both project actors and end-users accept a «satisficing» [SIC] solution (Simon, 2004). This study hypothesizes that two organizational factors have an important influence on user satisfaction in post-disaster housing projects: (i) centralized decision making (coupled with lack of information); and (ii) the capacity of the structure of the Temporary Multi-Organization (TMO) to take into account the active participation of users in project planning, management, financing and design. A case study of a post-disaster housing project in the Maghreb region helps us validate this hypothesis. Building up on this hypothesis, indicators of technology transfer (as proposed by the Logical Framework Analysis) serve as a basis to assess users’ satisfaction. The research does not establish a cause-effect relationship between the two variables of the study. However, the analysis of the structure of the TMO and users’ satisfaction highlight several principles, related with the project initiation and management, that can be implemented to improve reconstruction practices in developing countries.

Ce travail de recherche porte sur l’évaluation du système d’information (SI) bancaire de front-office. Àtravers un cadre d’analyse sociotechnique, nous avons cherché à identifier les variables et leurs liens àprendre en compte pour évaluer le succès perçu du SI auprès des utilisateurs. La proposition centrale est quele succès perçu du SI bancaire de front-office dépend à la fois de caractéristiques techniques et sociales.Aussi, les spécificités du monde bancaire, l’évolution de l’environnement aussi bien réglementaire queconcurrentiel, nous ont convaincus de la nécessité d’une évaluation appropriée au domaine bancaire. C’estpourquoi ce travail de recherche est composé d’une part d’une approche qualitative exploratoire afind’identifier les variables spécifiques au domaine bancaire, et d’autre part d’une démarche quantitative denature hypothético-déductive.Au final, on propose un modèle composé de huit variables (les qualités de la formation, du système, duservice, de l’information, l’utilisation, la satisfaction, le soutien des managers intermédiaires, les bénéficesnets) expliquant le chemin menant au succès du SI bancaire. L’influence de la participation des utilisateurs àune phase de projet concernant le SI, ainsi que celle des caractéristiques sociodémographiques desrépondants ont été analysées.Ce modèle constitue à la fois un apport théorique, mais aussi managérial puisque les banques disposentmaintenant d’un instrument leur permettant de mesurer le succès de leur SI.Ce travail souligne l’importance de certaines variables, et met en évidence des liaisons spécifiques audomaine bancaire. / This research focuses on evaluating the banks’ front office information system (IS). By using asociotechnical analysis frame, we wished to identify the variables and the links that have to be taken intoaccount in order to evaluate the perceived IS success among users. The main proposal is that this perceivedsuccess depends on characteristics which are both technical and social ones. At the same time, we wereconvinced by the bank specificities, rules and competition evolution, that an evaluation, peculiar to the fieldof the banks, is necessary. This is why this research uses at the same time a qualitative approach, to identifythe specific variables in the bank world, and a quantitative approach based on hypothesis and deduction.We finally propose a model showing eight variables (the qualities of the training, the system, the service, theinformation, the use, the satisfaction, the middle managers’ support, the net profit) which enlight the wayleading to the success of bank IS. Both users’ participation to a IS step of a project and the surveyed people’ssociodemographic characteristics were analysed. This model both provides a theoretical and managerialaspect, since the banks now have a tool measuring the success of their Information System. This workemphasizes the weight of some variables and highlights some links specific to the banks field.
