“…According to the System of Organization and Institutional Innovation of the Brazilian Federal Government, the government people decided to reformulate the arrangement of the current Brazilian government. Thus, the guidelines were defined to guide the strengthening processes of institutional capacity in organizational structures: those focusing on the organization of government action by programs; elimination of overlaps and fragmentation of actions; increased efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness of public spending and administrative action; rationalization of hierarchical levels and increased range of command; guidance for government priorities; and alignment of the proposed measures with the competencies of the organization and the results intended by the Brazilian Public Administration [13]. Figure 1 presents the current structure of the Brazilian Federal Government.…”

The challenge to enhance the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the Brazilian Federal Public Administration involves not only technological issues but also staff training, adaptation to new culture, and understanding of processes. Furthermore, knowledge must be well aligned and articulated so that ICT resources are applied efficiently and effectively, meeting the needs of society, ensuring the provision of quality public service and, above all, providing better conditions for the exercise of functions performed by employees. This article presents an account of the implementation of the ICT processes in a State Company based on the ICT Governance Kit proposed for the Secretariat of Coordination and Governance of State Companies. During the execution of the case study, we surveyed the initial diagnosis of the processes performed by the State, as well as brainstormings and semi-structured interviews to help the implementation process. The diagnosis made it possible to identify the level of maturity of the existing ICT processes in the State and to verify if they were being carried out in the best possible way. The driving dynamics worked as a pilot, allowing the exchange of knowledge between teams, improvements suggestion in some processes of the Kit and the definition of a proposed methodology for the implementation of the Kit that could serve as a model to be used by other States which will implement the Kit. Lastly, the processes contemplated in the Kit were considered adherent by the execution team (State employees specialists in ICT Governance who participated in the implementation process), and the suggested artifacts were validated.ICT has been consolidating itself as a strategic asset, integrating resources, processes, methods, techniques to obtain, process, store, disseminate, and make use of the information [3]. From this point of view, ICT Governance guarantees the excellent and regular management of ICT services, which are deployed to meet the corporate strategy of an organization. However, this alignment is only feasible with a structured planning that reflects how the ICT will contribute, through the achievement of its goals and actions, to the achievement of the organizational purposes. Thus, it is pertinent and relevant to develop the maturity of the technologies used by the information systems, as well as the management and governance processes associated [4].In order for ICT assets to perform well in an organization, the existence of transparency is essential in the information managed and should be made available to society. State Companies of the Brazilian Federal Executive Administration, in the context of coordination and governance of these companies by the State Companies Coordination and Governance Secretariat (SEST), aim to achieve this transparency. Currently, there are more than 130 state-owned companies with several formations and histories, where transparency in the managed information and making it available involve technology and process solutions. These processes mi...

Resumo Este artigo analisa os determinantes do diferencial de remuneração entre as carreiras do Poder Executivo do estado de Minas Gerais, utilizando um modelo de regressão linear cujas variáveis explicativas foram elaboradas com base em diferentes abordagens teóricas acerca da determinação dos salários: teoria do capital humano, teoria da segmentação dos mercados, teoria da discriminação e sociologia das profissões, além de considerar as especificidades do setor público. A escolha da unidade federativa se justifica pela relevância no cenário nacional e pela difícil situação fiscal vivenciada nos últimos anos. A investigação é guiada pela hipótese de que as diferenças salariais no setor público refletem não só a qualificação e a experiência no trabalho, mas também reproduzem distorções típicas das estruturas socioeconômicas e político-burocráticas. Os resultados corroboram a hipótese adotada e sugerem que a estrutura relativa de salários no setor público constitui uma manifestação concreta das diferenças de recursos políticos disponíveis às carreiras, do prestígio social das profissões e de aspectos estruturais da desigualdade de gênero.
