“…In contrast with the speed, precision, and efficiency that characterize Weber's (1964) original portrait of bureaucracy, contemporary conceptions of bureaucracy (including written organizational rules) evoke images of inefficiency, constraint, and adverse human effects including inflexibility, stagnated creativity, and mediocrity (Frederickson 1996;Goodsell 1993;. As a result, management trends currently favor both internal deregulation and increased managerial discretion as means of increasing organizational efficiency and achieving greater effectiveness (Kelman 1990; Thompson and Riccucci 1998).…”

Contemporary conceptions of written organizational rules evoke images of inefficiency, constraint, and rigidity. While formal rules can generate negative outcomes, this article argues that their written nature is not the culprit. Rather, theory suggests that the formalization process increases a rule's likelihood of becoming effective ''green tape.'' From a rule design perspective, rule formalization is expected to trigger more organizational learning and greater scrutiny than unwritten rules, which undergo no such process. From a compliance perspective, written rules are expected to focus organizational attention and convey legitimacy better than unwritten rules, thereby increasing the likelihood of compliance. Combining these expectations, the article hypothesizes that written rules will exhibit more logical designs, higher compliance, and ultimately greater effectiveness than unwritten rules. Statistical modeling of two data sources supports these expectations and suggests the need to rethink reflexively negative attitudes toward written organizational rules.

“…A referida ação viabiliza, em si, dirimir conflitos de interesse na prestação de contas à sociedade, fazendo prevalecer o interesse público. Nesse sentido, a inovação desmistifica a possibilidade de conflito sugerida por Goodsell (1993).…”

ResumoO objetivo geral deste estudo é analisar ações empreendedoras desenvolvidas no setor público a partir das iniciativas premiadas no Concurso Inovação na Gestão Pública Federal. Especificamente pretende identificar os ambientes interno e externo das organizações de acordo com o modelo proposto por Kearney, Hisrich e Roche (2008) e sua relação com o fomento da prática inovadora e os respectivos desempenhos organizacionais. Nesse modelo o empreendedorismo corporativo é um processo que tende a facilitar os esforços de uma organização para inovar constantemente e se adequar eficientemente às mudanças que ocorrem tanto no ambiente interno quanto no externo. No tocante à dimensão interna, os componentes são a estrutura/formalização, decisões/controle, cultura, tomada de risco e proatividade. A dimensão externa abrange o ambiente político, a complexidade, a munificência e as mudanças provenientes do ambiente externo ao setor. Para realização deste estudo foi realizada pesquisa documental, tendo como fonte de dados os vinte relatos das ações premiadas no Concurso Inovação na Gestão Pública Federal, promovida pela Escola Nacional de Administração Pública nos anos 2013 e 2014. De modo geral, observou-se, nos casos analisados, que o desempenho organizacional em âmbito público é consequência de ações que promovem crescimento, desenvolvimento e produtividade. Torna-se necessário, portanto, para o alcance de objetivos e metas planejadas, o suporte das lideranças organizacionais assim como a utilização de recursos diversos, sem os quais são inviabilizadas as ações inovadoras.Palavras-chave: Empreendedorismo Corporativo.

AbstractThe aim of this study is to analyze entrepreneurial actions developed in the public sector, from the initiatives awarded in the Federal Public Management Innovation Contest. Specifically aims to identify aspects of internal and external environments for organizations, according to the model proposed by Kearney, Hisrich and Roche (2008) and their relation with the promotion of innovative practices and their respective organizational performances. In this model, corporate entrepreneurship is a process that tends to facilitate organization efforts to constantly innovate and adapt efficiently to changes that occur in both the internal and external environment. Regarding the internal dimension the components are the structure, formalization, decisions, control, culture, risk taking and proactivity. The external dimension encompasses the political environment, complexity, munificence and changes from the external environment to the sector. To realize this study a document research was developed having as data source the twenty reports of the actions awarded in the Innovation Contest in Federal Public Management, organized by the National School of Public Administration in the years 2013 and 2014. In general, it has been observed in the cases analyzed that organizational performance in public sector is the result of actions that promote growth, development and productivity. It is n...
