The key focus of this work is on developing manager’s personality. The author, using scientific methods, came to a proposal of an ideal career course of such personalities since their first training for managerial posts to the time when they are able to educate their successors, and therefore, enhance their careers to a higher level. There were used two methods of collecting data – observation and qualitative interviews. The observation took over seven years. Based on evaluation of data, the author reached an embedded theory which he then verified by qualitative interviews with people working in the field. The theory developed by the author was adjusted and divided into two parts based on the processed data from the qualitative research. There emerged two parts of the resulting theory when the dividing aspect was the necessity to arrange some phenomena in terms of time while others pervade through the whole growth period of the manager’s personality. In conclusion of his work, the author had his newly emerged theory evaluated by managers in field to get feedback on its merit. According to the results of the feedback, a compliance with the theory defined by the author can reduce the time needed for educating a manager by half.

Partiu-se da necessidade de focar nos resultados reais dessa capacitação e de propor melhorias nesse processo, tanto para a continuidade, quanto para um possível remodelamento de tal política. Os pressupostos da investigação consideram que aqueles que passassem pela capacitação assumiriam uma parcela de responsabilização, de maneira a pontuar melhorias nas escolas ligadas às funções de gestor escolar. Uma investigação ocorreu no intuito de observar esta relação, e, para tal, utilizou-se de entrevistas semiestruturadas na SRE, pois interessava saber qual o retorno do investimento feito nesses gestores. Os dados coletados evidenciaram que, não há um monitoramento desses gestores capacitados pelo PROGESTÃO, denotando certa fragilidade no processo. Para tanto, após a devida análise e reflexão, a proposição de um monitoramento, por determinado período de tempo, após o findar da capacitação oficial, ao diretor que realizar essa capacitação é a diretriz deste estudo, e que apresenta todos os envolvidos e os direcionamentos que precisam ser acionados para a continuidade da ação nos moldes da responsabilização, e no intuito de detectar melhorias e avanços em relação à gestão escolar. / This work was stimulated by the evaluation of a school principal’s formation policy – PROGESTÃO – and the appropriation of the project by the Superintendência Regional de Ensino de Diamantina (SRE). It starts from the need to focus in real results of this capacitation, and for suggesting improvements in the process, both for continuity and for a possible policy’s reshuffle. The investigation’s presuppositions consider that those who passed through the program would acquire some responsibility, being able to recommend improvements in school which are connected with school manager’s assignments. An investigation occurred in order to observe this relation, and for that, it was used semistructured interviews in SRE, because it was interesting to know which the results in response to the investment in these managers are. The collected data has demonstrated there is not any type of control of these capacitated managers by PROGESTÃO, showing weakness in the process. As a conclusion, after a due analysis and also considerations, the proposal of controlling, during a certain period of time, the capacitated principals as soon as the capacitation is finished is this study’s guideline, which presents all concerned and the directions that need to be followed to the continuity of the operation in the molds of responsibility, and in the intention to detect improvements and developments in school management.

Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate managers' experiences of promoting and challenging factors in a recovery intervention within healthcare and social services.  Method: The study is a semi-structured interview study. The interviews were conducted digitally with ten unit managers from a healthcare and social services administration in a Swedish municipality. Text materials were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Main Results: Clear division of roles, allocated time and support are promoting factors, while large staff groups and high workloads are challenges in integrating recovery into everyday work. Unit managers felt they did not have time to work with health promotion and felt overlooked in the recovery intervention. Support from the unit's wellness champions and the administration's central coordinator was appreciated. Conclusion: Managers' motivation for the recovery intervention depended on their perception of support from the management and having the conditions and time to work with health-promoting activities. Managers' work environment and opportunities for recovery need to be prioritized to create conditions for supportive leadership where managers act as role models. Smaller staff groups and support from wellness champions and a health coordinator can enable engagement and motivation for health-promoting work. / Problemformulering: Stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa är ett stort samhällsproblem och arbete inom vård- och omsorg ökar risken för sjukskrivning. Tidigare forskning belyser chefers roll vid hälsointerventioner men det finns få studier som studerat deras egen upplevelse vid en intervention, inte minst när det gäller återhämtning. Vad behöver chefer för att känna sig motiverade och engagerade i det hälsofrämjande arbetet? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka chefers upplevelser av framgångsfaktorer och utmaningar vid en återhämtningsintervention i en vård- och omsorgsförvaltning. Metod: Studien är en semi-strukturerad intervjustudie. Intervjuerna genomfördes digitalt med tio enhetschefer från en vård- och omsorgsförvaltning i en svensk kommun. Textmaterial analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Huvudresultat: Tydlig rollfördelning, avsatt tid och stöd är framgångsfaktorer medan stora personalgrupper och hög arbetsbelastning är utmaningar vid integrering av återhämtning i arbetsvardagen. Enhetscheferna upplevde sig inte ha tid att arbeta med hälsofrämjande arbete och kände sig bortglömda i återhämtningsinterventionen. Stöd från enheternas hälsoinspiratörer och förvaltningens centrala samordnare var uppskattat. Slutsats: Chefernas motivation till återhämtningsinterventionen var beroende av deras upplevelse av stöd från ledningen samt att de hade förutsättningar och tid att arbeta med hälsofrämjande insatser. Chefers arbetsmiljö och möjlighet till återhämtning behöver prioriteras för att skapa förutsättningar till ett stödjande ledarskap där chefer agerar förebilder. Mindre personalgrupper och stöd av hälsoinspiratörer och en central samordnare kan möjliggöra motivation och engagemang i det hälsofrämjande arbetet.

Face aux mutations auxquels sont confrontés les services publics, les cadres intermédiaires sont à la fois acteurs et objets des transformations managériales. La recherche empirique et qualitative menée dans une collectivité territoriale française décrit et modélise le rôle des cadres consistant à fabriquer du sens (« sensemaking »), à faire partager ce sens (« sensegiving ») et leur entremise au service de l’appropriation et de la mise en œuvre du changement. En s'inscrivant de façon longitudinale à différents niveaux de l'organisation, l'étude de cas permet d’approfondir les dimensions de son processus d'évolution, et sa capacité de changement, en relation avec le rôle des cadres intermédiaires. / Considering transformations faced by public services, managers are both actors and objects of managerial changes.

Active portfolio management is critical to the investment return, as it seeks to achieve rates of return above those of a market portfolio. The Efficient Market Hypothesis, which states that an informational dynamics prevents managers from anticipating price movements and taking up winning positions in the market, surrounds the activities of portfolio management. With regard to the controversy about the effectiveness of active management, the complete understanding about the topic has not yet been established. The contributions of the study is based on the decomposition of excess returns of the portfolios into managers' choices about duration, allocation and selection, which serves as support to apply a metric of dispersion in managers' expectations in fixed income portfolios. Through the expectations, it was possible to observe a positive effect of the managers in the performance of the funds, supporting the active management of the fixed income portfolios in the Brazilian market. / Este estudo examina a contribuição da gestão ativa para a rentabilidade das carteiras de investimentos de renda fixa no Brasil. A atuação do gestor é fundamental para o desempenho das carteiras de investimentos com gestão ativa, uma vez que ele busca acessar taxas de retorno acima das taxas de uma carteira de mercado. Permeando o exercício da gestão ativa de carteiras está a Hipótese de Eficiência de Mercado, que aponta para uma dinâmica informacional que impede os gestores de antever movimentos e assumir posições vencedoras no mercado. A discussão na literatura mostra que há controvérsia sobre os benefícios da gestão ativa e que a compreensão completa sobre o tema ainda não foi alcançada. O estudo parte da decomposição dos excessos de retornos das carteiras, pelas escolhas dos gestores sobre a duration, a alocação e a seleção individual dos ativos, permitindo a adaptação de uma métrica de dispersão de expectativas dos gestores em carteiras de renda fixa. Por meio das expectativas, foi possível observar um efeito positivo dos gestores no desempenho dos fundos, embasando a hipótese da contribuição da gestão ativa de carteiras de renda fixa no mercado brasileiro.
