Avaliação de desempenho na administração pública: percepção de servidores de uma escola estadual sobre o plano de gestão de desempenho individual (PGDI)

Abstract

This study analyzes how the faculty and administrative staff of a state public school in Itaporã, Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), evaluate the Individual Performance Management Plan (PGDI), aiming to investigate its perceived effectiveness as a tool for professional development. This is an exploratory and descriptive study with a quantitative approach, developed through a single case study with non-probability sampling based on voluntary participation. Data collection was conducted through an electronic questionnaire created in Google Forms and structured on a five point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive and non-parametric inferential statistics, employing the Mann-Whitney test to compare the groups. The results indicate that participants perceive the PGDI as a clear instrument based on criteria of justice and objectivity, which also promotes continuous feedback and professional development. On the other hand, perceptions related to bureaucratic overload and the time required to fill out the system were also identified. The comparative analysis between the professional categories revealed differences in perception between teachers and administrative staff regarding the instrument's usefulness and the time spent using it. The study concludes that the PGDI is perceived as a relevant tool for public servant performance management, although it presents aspects that can be improved, especially regarding the process's operation. Future studies using a mixed-methods approach are recommended to deepen the understanding of PGDI utilization in the state public service of Mato Grosso do Sul."
