Using a Constructivist Multi-Criteria Decision Aid Model (MCDA-C) to Develop a Novel Approach to Self-Manage Motivation in Organizations

Abstract

The Brazilian Federal Highway Patrol is an organ of public administration with the constitutional mission to carry out the extensive patrolling of federal highways. Stress and physical and emotional exhaustion are constant, causing illnesses along with frustration, demotivation, and depression. The objective of this research is the development of a self-evaluation model of performance for the Federal Highway Patrols, using their perceptions to enhance their motivation at work considering the factors under their control. The constructivist multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA-C) methodology was used to elaborate the model. The proposed model identifies, establishes, and structures a process to measure the performance of patrol officers on the relevant aspects that they can manage, to guide their decisions toward the desired consequences, thus regulating their stress levels.

Value Perception Analysis in the Brazilian Company of Research and Industrial Innovation

“…The guiding question of the questionnaire supplied, and the defined answer options, are presented in Table 5. The scale used in the constructivist multi-criteria analysis method should contain a zone above the decision-makers' expectations, represented by the impact level L5; a zone within the decision-makers' expectations, between L4 and L2; and a zone below expectations, represented by L1 [17].…”

“…It also enables the incorporation of improvement suggestions for alternatives, with a performance profile incompatible with expectations." [17] (p. 5). Thus, this use for MCDA was chosen with the objective of involving both stakeholders and partners, as well as EMBRAPII's decision-makers.…”

“…The first was subject to different interpretations of its definition, the second was similar to another sub-criterion, and the third was considered a mandatory point for EMBRAPII to comply with, as well as EPV 1.4. The second stage was the definition of the contribution rates of the FPVs and EPVs, values that represent the relative importance of each point of view in the evaluation and are obtained from the judgment of the decision-makers [17]. The contribution rates of the criteria and sub-criteria must sum 100%, and the value should represent how much that point of view contributes to the research.…”

Planejamento estratégico aplicado ao setor público:

“…The process of defining actions is succinctly illustrated in Figure 4. The logic employed in constructing the indicators aligned with the descriptors outlined in the multi-criteria decision aiding -constructivist (MCDA-C) (Ensslin et al, 2022;Longaray et al, 2015). This methodology aims to derive performance insights related to the contextual property associated with the value under monitoring and enhancement.…”

“…A segment of the holistic model, emphasizing the second strategic objective and integrating the actions and indicators of general coordination into a unified system for SAA, is visually represented in Figure 5. This hierarchical structure empowers managers to discern focal points that, in their perception-bearing in mind that all elements were constructed from the Forum's perspective-merit attention and stand out in the sub secretariat's performance (Corrêa, 2007;Ensslin et al, 2022;Matos et al, 2019). This approach facilitates targeted management efforts directed toward the realization of established strategic objectives.…”
