Política de gestão de pessoas na administração pública municipal e o caso de Niterói

Abstract

This study sought to explore how people management is approached within the public administration, bringing the main definitions regarding competency management and how it can be applied inside the government, as well as an attempt to expose the problems that patrimonialism causes in the public sector, considering that provision of services to citizens is the main purpose of the existence of public management. A brief historical analysis was made of how the topic was treated in Brazilian public administration models and the difference in the importance given to the matter in different federal and municipal entities. The case of Niterói City Hall was analyzed and how the relationship between effective public employees and commissioned positions can be an indicator of the level of seriousness and professionalism of the government with the people that form its administration. Finally, some proposals were made on how to advance in the management of people within the State, considering the peculiarities existing in the public sector.
