Gestão de desempenho e sua influência na motivação dos servidores posicionados na última classe/padrão da carreira : uma análise no TRE-SE

Abstract

The overall objective of this research was to understand how performance management tools can influence the motivation of civil servants in the final stages of their career progression. Methodologically, the research adopted a qualitative approach. The agency chosen for analysis was the Regional Electoral Court of Sergipe. To identify the main performance management tools applied and the motivational factors that impact these civil servants, semistructured interviews were used. The results obtained demonstrate the relationship between individual motivations and motivational theories, in addition to presenting performance evaluation as the management tool used in the agency, and the opinions of civil servants about the lack of evaluation after reaching the highest level of their career, also bringing suggestions for rewards for the possibility of new evaluations. It is concluded that, although functional progression is a relevant factor for motivation, other strategies, such as professional recognition, continued training and non-financial incentives, can minimize the impacts of career stagnation. Thus, this study contributes to the discussion on performance management in the public sector and suggests practices to strengthen the engagement and satisfaction of civil servants who are in the final stages of their careers.
