Comprometimento organizacional na Universidade Federal da Paraíba: contribuições ao planejamento estratégico na gestão de pessoas.

Abstract

This study proposes to present the organizational commitment theme, in order to introduce it in the people management area of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). The commitment is a behavior that is revealed in a set of attitudes which make that the job performance reflects on the organization performance, and can provide gains in the efficiency, efficacy, effectiveness, quality and productivity levels. To conciliate individual and organizational objectives is the great challenge to the public management in Brazil. It presupposes political will, interaction between several areas of the institution and commitment of its leaderships to leverage the required cultural and behavioral changes. This study suggests that the technical-administrative servers and managers of UFPB must be, in a first moment, the target of an ample diagnostic about institutional engagement. As a starting point, it was realized a research with the People Management Agents of the university, by using the Organizational Commitment Basis Scale, proposed by Medeiros, in order to present the toll and to contribute with the improvement of the people management politics at UFPB.
