Governança e justiça organizacional: impactos no desempenho relacional de cooperativas agropecuárias

Abstract

The study "Governance and Organizational Justice: Impacts on the Relational Performance of Agricultural Cooperatives" examines how formal and informal governance, mediated by perceptions of organizational justice (distributive, procedural, and interactional), influences relational performance in agricultural cooperatives in the states of Paraná and Mato Grosso do Sul. Chapter 1 contextualizes the relevance of agricultural cooperatives in Brazil, highlighting the role of governance and organizational justice in strengthening these organizations, in addition to presenting the research objectives and question. Chapter 2 conducts a bibliographic review and bibliometric analysis of scientific articles, proposing a conceptual framework that connects governance, organizational justice, and relational performance. Chapter 3 presents the empirical study with data collection in a cooperative using questionnaires and structural equation modeling. The results reveal that organizational justice positively mediates the relationship between governance and relational performance, emphasizing the interaction between formal and informal mechanisms. Finally, Chapter 4 discusses the theoretical, managerial, and social implications of the findings, reinforcing the importance of balanced and fair governance practices, and proposes directions for future research. The thesis contributes to understanding factors that strengthen cohesion and performance in agricultural cooperatives, highlighting the interdependence between governance and organizational justice.
