Provimento de cargos em comissão nas secretarias de desenvolvimento regional do Estado de Santa Catarina

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate and evaluating the influence of educational level and political party affiliation in filling committee positions in the final activities of the Regional Development Departments in the State of Santa Catarina. The research is of descriptive character, in the form of a multicase study, with quali-quantitative approach, involving primary and secondary data. The results of the study point that: (i) 83% of the searched managers have political party affiliation, demonstrating that this variable has influence in the occupation of the commissioned positions; (II) 29% of the managers do not possess high educational level; (III) 40% of the managers do not possess compatible educational level with the demanded one for the position exercise. Thus, we conclude that the political party affiliation is the main requirement for the provision of committee positions, while the educational level is applied as secondary form.
