Análise da aplicabilidade do Modelo Gerencial na administração pública

Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify and assay the reasons why the municipal administration, specifically in the municipality of Lavras, didn´t embrace integrally the public management pattern, given the period of 15 years after the Reform of the State and eight years of Minas Gerais Management Shock. For this, the Public Management Rate developed by Freitas Jr (2009) was used as a parameter of assaying and investigation and of the theoretical pattern of public management. In this way, first of all it was performed a review on the historic pathway of Brazilian public management. It was also performed an assay of the characteristics and goals of the management pattern, as well as the demonstration of the attempting to use this pattern in the Brazilian public management, both at the federal, state and municipal sphere. The methodology of the research is grounded in a quantitative-qualitative approach of theoretical-empirical feature. Data gathering occurred by literature research, secondary sources, documentary research and interviews with the public managers of the municipality of Lavras. All the subjects interviewed are public managers (mayor, chief of staff, city councilman and officers) from the two last municipal management of Lavras, i.e., from the participants of 2001 to 2004 and 2005 to 2008 mandates. Data gathering was performed from August to October 2010. The outcomes show that the biggest obstacle to the effective embrancing of public management pattern, although it has available a sort of legal-institutional mechanisms, is the lack of management capacity and control of the leaders themselves with the pattern assumptions. There is a need of guidance and qualification to the public municipal governors, observing the local reality.
