Profile of Municipal Management in the State of Pará: A Look from the Effectiveness Index

Abstract

Objective: this article seeks to present the levels of management effectiveness of the municipalities in the state of Pará, calculated through the Municipal Management Effectiveness Index (IEGM), composed by seven sectoral indicators: education, health, planning, management fiscal, environmental, citizen protection and information technology and communication governance. Method: the research is characterized as exploratory and the method adopted is bibliographical and documentary analysis. Originality/Relevance: it is understood that the adoption of synthetic indicators to measure effectiveness is a recent topic and little explored in the scope of studies in municipal public management, being important to know and evaluate such instruments through scientific research. Results: the results show that the main difficulty of the municipalities of Pará is in the planning indicator, which presented the lowest level of adequacy in the most municipalities. Theoretical/Methodological contributions: the research seeks to broaden the debate on the effectiveness of municipal management, presenting the IEGM as a possible instrument to subsidize the formulation and implementation of public policies that improve and define mechanisms more adequate to the local development process.

Influence of internal control on the effectiveness of public governance in Paraná municipalities

“…Consequently, the internal control variables do not explain the IFGF variations. These results disagree with the studies by Leite Filho et al (2018), who noted that municipal transparency, Municipal Development Index, population, gross budget revenue per capita, as well as size, productivity, and collection influence the quality indicator of municipal fiscal management in Brazil; by Silva et al (2020), who found in their study that the location of Brazilian municipalities, the level of human development (IDHM) and fiscal management (IFGF) have a positive relationship with the transparency of Brazilian municipalities; and by Rosa et al (2021), who demonstrate that the balance of fiscal management, measured by the ability to invest, cost of debt, personnel expenses, liquidity, and own revenue, results in a positive impact on municipal performance.…”

“…This may be a possible explanation for the findings of this work, also corroborated by Pinho and Brasil (2021), who state, in their study, that control over public management has gained notoriety, showing signs that society has a great interest in government spending, demanding a better application of public resources and that the acts of public agents are conducted with greater transparency and responsibility. However, the study by Silva et al (2020) highlighted in its observation among municipalities in the state of Pará and through the Municipal Management Effectiveness Index (IEGM), the classification of this index as the worst range (C), demonstrating serious problems in all dimensions assessed, with negative emphasis on institutional aspects such as planning.…”

O emprego do supply chain management na organização pública

“…A noção de eficiência é um valor inerente a qualquer ideia de boa administração. O Estado brasileiro há muito tempo tem incorporado esse valor, visto que ao reestruturar a Administração Pública, por meio do Decreto-Lei nº 200/1967, determina a necessidade de estruturar a administração pública de modo a desempenhar, com eficiência, ações voltadas à satisfação das necessidades da sociedade (Sant'Anna et al, 2019;Silva, Reis, & Ribeiro, (2020). Na década de 90, com a Emenda Constitucional nº 19/1998, a eficiência é elevada à condição de princípio constitucional (art.…”
