Avaliação de desempenho na Administração Pública Federal: um estudo no Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS).

Abstract

People are the foundation of building a more effective public service that responds to society's needs. The Performance Management, in turn, is considered a central element in the process of transformation of the public administration. Even in the face of evidence that the concept of performance and meritocracy are not deeply integrate the Brazilian cultural matrix, we must invest in changing this reality for their potential to ensure better results to those that finance public services, expanding the democratic values of society. This research aimed to analyze the Performance Evaluation System of the National Institute of Social Security - INSS and its relation to the institutional performance, having adopted, so the case study strategy. To collect data, we proceeded to the desk research and primary data and applied a survey to people managers, relevant stakeholders in this process to identify their perceptions of the developed process INSS, the method used and the uses of the information generated by Performance Appraisals. The sample included 43 (forty-three) respondents. The results point to the exhaustion of the Individual Performance Evaluation system, which besides presenting methodological weaknesses and is invalidated by cultural aspects, in view of the broad financial impact of the bonus for performance in the wages of employees, in fact 99.4% of the civil servants get the highest score in the Performance Evaluation. In addition, the information generated have not been helpful to provide training, nor enforcement personnel more effectively. The evaluation of institutional performance, based on the indicator Idade Média do Acervo – IMA (middle age of backlog), is a high success for the INSS, which added to the Action Plan, both initiated in 2009, and service set by the Central 135 and remote channels, started three years earlier, contributed to a 60% reduction of inventory processes in the first year of implementation and a sustainable improvement since then. However, the administration focused on results has reduced investments in human development and the future of the organization, classroom-training opportunities, considered more effective by civil servers has been reduced. The presented improvement proposal includes a redesign of the evaluation method and criteria of Institutional and Individual Performance Evaluation, focusing on individual productivity, systematic monitoring, improved communication and recognition of merit, as well as careful management of low performance.
