This initiative arose from the purpose of obtaining the manegerial outline of the departments as well as their performance (measuring the result variables). Having the measuring of the three groups of variables (causal, intervening and of result), it was possib1e to compare the fifty departments chosen for the research. In a general way, the purpose of the dissertation was primari1y to give emphasis to the study, including its objectives and importance and finally, to its organization (chapter 1). Later, it was decided to have a wide view of the organizationa1 theory, trying to emphasize the four great trends. Following this, it was introduced Likert's with a11 its specifications (chapter 2). model As for the third step, it was decided organization of the dissertation would start description and sample of the population, data that the with the estimate, field work and data analysis. Finally, it was given emphasis to the countless limitations of the research (chapter 3). Before the beginning of the presentation and ana1ysis of the results, there was a need to have a historical retrospective of the structure of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo whose purpose was to search its origins and facilitate the understanding of the analysis (chapter 4). As a last step, it was attempted to give an account of all the conclusive facts originated use of Likert's model in all the departments of from the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. At this point, it became evident the necessity of the University to maximize all its resources (chapter 5). / Este trabalho teve o prof5sito de utilizar o Modelo de Likert (mensuração das variáveis causais, intervenientes e de resultado) nos Departamentos da Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo. Esta iniciativa decorreu da intenção de obter o perfil administrativo dos Departamentos, bem como de seu respectivo desempenho (mensuração das variáveis de resultado). De posse das mensurações dos três grupos de variáveis (causais, intervenientes e de resultado), pôde-se efetuar comparações dos 50 Departamentos objeto de pesquisa. preliminarmente, procurou-se de maneira bastante abrangente enfatizar o estudo, seus objetivos, importância e, finalmente, a organização do trabalho (Capitulo 1). Na segunda etapa, proporcionou-se uma ampla visão da teoria organizacional, procurando salientar as quatro grandes correntes. A seguir, apresentou-se o Modelo de Likert com todas as suas especificidades (Capitulo 2). Com relação a terceira etapa, foi estabelecida toda a operacionalização do trabalho, iniciando com a definição da população e amostra, passando pela coleta de da- \ dos, trabalho de campo, análise dos dados e, finalmente, enfatizando as inúmeras limitações da pesquisa (Capitulo 3). No tocante a quarta etapa, antes de iniciar a apresentação e análise dos resultados, fez-se uma retrospectiva histórica da estrutura da Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo, com o intuito de buscar suas origens e facilitar o entendimento da análise (Capítulo 4). Finalmente, na quinta etapa, procurou-se registrar todos os pontos conclusivos decorrentes da utilização do Modelo de Likert junto aos Departamentos da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. Neste capitulo, ficou evidenciada, sobretudo, a necessidade de a Universidade procurar otimizar seus recursos (Capítulo 5).

The Effect of Scale Centredness on Patient Satisfaction ResponsesMasino, Caterina 27 July 2010 (has links)
High satisfaction rates and the lack of response variability are problematic areas in survey research. An important area of methodological concern for self-report survey is the sensitivity and reliability of the instrument. This research examines the effects of a positive (right) centred scale on the distribution and reliability of satisfaction responses in a positive respondent population. A total of 216 participants were randomly assigned to one of the following three experimental Likert scale conditions: 5–point equal interval balanced scale; 5–point positive (right) packed scale; 5–point positive (right) centred scale. The distribution of responses occurred in the direction hypothesized. Comparable discrimination was found across the three conditions. Although, the study findings did not prove to be significant, the equal interval balanced scale produced the lowest mean score, contrary to previous research findings.

Estilos gerenciales y satisfacción laboralValencia Pomareda, Pedro Herbert Jaime, Valencia Pomareda, Pedro Herbert Jaime January 2008 (has links)
La gestión de personas se ha convertido hoy en día en un tema estratégico para la competitividad de los negocios.
La función de personal que antes se abocaba únicamente a aspectos de control administrativo adquiere actualmente nuevas dimensiones y desafíos muy vinculados a la búsqueda de nuevas oportunidades para el éxito en la gestión del negocio y a la obtención de resultados.
Gestionar personas se constituye hoy en día en uno de los aspectos clave de la función gerencial. Si los gerentes modernos cuentan con equipos humanos de alta eficiencia que posean además adecuados niveles de motivación y compromiso con su institución, existirán mayores posibilidades de efectuar delegación de funciones a personal competente y motivado a desarrollar un trabajo y brindar un servicio de calidad. Esto conduce además a que los gerentes liberen tiempo para diseñar y ejecutar nuevos planes y estrategias de desarrollo institucional.
Uno de los aspectos clave en la gestión de personas en las instituciones modernas es el manejo de un estilo adecuado de liderazgo. Este tema muchas veces ha permanecido ignorado o soslayado debido a que los propios gerentes no conocían su existencia y mucho menos que era un manejo importante para facilitar y optimizar su gestión.
Los estilos gerenciales han sido estudiados por varios autores, destacando entre ellos Rensis Likert quien establece la existencia de cuatro sistemas de liderazgo, cada uno con sus respectivos indicadores y resultados de efectividad. / Tesis

Statistical analysis of Likert data on attitudesJavaras, Kristin Nicole January 2004 (has links)
Researchers interested in measuring people's underlying attitudes towards an object (e.g., abortion) often collect Likert data by administering a survey. Likert data consist of surveyees' responses to statements about the object, where responses fall into ordered categories running from `Strongly agree' to `Strongly disagree' or into a `Don't Know / Can't Choose' category. Two examples of Likert data are used for illustrative purposes. The first dataset was collected by the author from American and British graduate students at Oxford University and contains items measuring underlying abortion attitudes. The second dataset was taken from British and American responses to the 1995 National Identity Survey (NIS) and contains items measuring underlying national pride and immigration attitudes. A model for Likert data and underlying attitudes is introduced. This model is more principled than existing models. It treats people's underlying attitudes as latent variables, and it specifies a relationship between underlying attitudes and responses that is consistent with attitudinal research. Further, the formal probability model for responses allows people's interpretation of the response categories to differ. The model is fitted by maximising an appropriate likelihood. Variants of the model are used to analyse Likert data in three contexts; in each, the method using our model compares favourably to existing methods. First, the model is used to visualise the structure underlying the abortion attitude data. This method of visualization produces more sensible plots than analogous multivariate data visualization methods. Second, the model is used to select the statements whose responses (in the abortion attitude data) best reflect underlying abortion attitudes. Our method of statement selection more closely adheres to attitude researchers' stated aims than popular methods based on sample correlations. Third, the model is used to investigate how underlying national pride varies with nationality in the NIS data and also how underlying abortion attitude varies with gender, religious status, and nationality in the abortion attitude data. Unlike methods currently used by social scientists to model the relationship between attitudes and covariates, our method controls for the effects of differing response category interpretation. As a result, inferences about group differences in underlying attitudes are more robust to group differences in response category interpretation.
