Analysis of the effectiveness of the managerial process in a federal institution of education, science and technology in Northern Brazil

Abstract

The managerial process is the process of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling applied by an organization to guarantee the supply of the needs of its operating environment. The more this procedure is practiced and known by an organization, the greater its effectiveness. This study aimed to assess whether the managerial process can be considered effective in a unit of a federal institution of education, science and technology that operates in the northern region of Brazil. It used the survey method in a sample composed of 50 professors and 50 administrative technicians, through a closed questionnaire containing the analytical categories of the managerial process, whose data were analyzed and interpreted through fashion, median and standard deviation, to understand the demographic characteristics of respondents and Student's T, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests to test the hypotheses that the managerial process is effective in the institution and that there are no evaluative differences arising from the respondents' demographic conditions. The results showed that the managerial process is not effective in the institution and that there is no difference in assessment between the different demographic strata of its employees. The conclusion shows that the institution does not have an effective planning, organization, direction, and control system.
