Título: IEGM e Agenda 2030: a dimensão i-Saúde e evidências institucionais para o planejamento municipal em saúde nos municípios sergipanos Autor(es): Resende, Vanessa Reis Seixas Abstract: Objective: To analyze how the items and results of the i-Saúde dimension of the Municipal Management Effectiveness Index (IEGM), articulated with the Sustainable Cities Development Index, Brazil (IDSC-BR), and the Municipal Health Plans (MHPs), can constitute institutional evidence useful for municipal health planning aligned with the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) in the municipalities of Sergipe, from the perspective of public governance. Methodology: The research adopted a predominantly qualitative approach, complemented by descriptive quantitative treatment, and was designed as a single-case study with multiple units of analysis. Three sources of institutional evidence were articulated: IEGM/i-Saúde data and microdata for the 2017 to 2024 period; IDSC-BR indicators related to SDG 3 from the 2023 and 2024 editions; and five MHPs intentionally selected based on classification persistence, inclusion of the four typological profiles, territorial and demographic diversity, and documentary suitability. The MHPs were subjected to qualitative descriptive documentary analysis, guided by a protocol comprising five interpretive dimensions. Main Results: The i-Saúde dimension showed a predominance of intermediate classifications and, in 2024, a redistribution toward category B, with a reduction in the number of municipalities classified in category C. This result was interpreted cautiously in view of the methodological changes made to the instrument. The typological articulation between i-Saúde and IDSC-BR identified four relative profiles, defined according to state medians, and 23 municipalities with persistent classifications across the two analytical pairings. The analysis of the MHPs revealed an incipient incorporation of the 2030 Agenda, variations in the coherence among diagnoses, priorities, objectives, targets, indicators, and monitoring mechanisms, as well as the absence of an automatic correspondence between the documentary quality of the plans and the municipalities’ relative positions in the instruments. Vocabulary convergent with the 2030 Agenda was also identified, although without explicit textual linkage to this framework. Theoretical and Methodological Contributions: The research broadens the understanding of public governance informed by institutional evidence by articulating external oversight, monitoring of the 2030 Agenda, and sectoral health planning. Methodologically, it systematizes a typological procedure that can be replicated and adapted to other contexts, as well as a fivedimension analytical protocol for the documentary examination of MHPs. Relevance and Originality: The relevance of the study derives from the integration of instruments with distinct characteristics and purposes to support municipal health planning. Its originality lies in applying, to the health field in Sergipe, an articulation inspired by a precedent developed in the educational field and in proposing four relative profiles constructed from state medians. Social and Management Contributions: The research provides municipal managers, Municipal Health Councils, and the Sergipe State Court of Accounts (TCE/SE) with evidence and operational instruments, materialized in a Final Technical Report and a Practical Guide, to support the preparation and revision of MHPs, the incorporation of the 2030 Agenda and SDG 3, the measurability of targets, documentary traceability, and budgetary articulation. By fostering more coherent, transparent, and evidence-informed plans, the research has the potential to contribute to greater responsiveness and equity in municipal health planning.

Título: Soft skills na gestão pública federal : abordagem no contexto da Era 4.0 Autor(es): Santana, Ana Paula Alves Abstract: To propose actions aimed at enhancing the soft skills of managers at the Geological Survey of Brazil (SGB) within the context of the transformations driven by the 4.0 Era. The study is based on the recognition that digital transformation has increased the demand for socio-emotional competencies complementing technical skills in contemporary Public Administration. Theoretical Framework: This research is situated within the Public Administration and Organizations research line of the Professional Master's Program in Public Administration (PROFIAP), contributing to the debate on human resource management and manager development in the public sector. Methodology: The study adopts a qualitative, exploratory, and applied approach, conducted through a single-case study. The investigation was structured around: (a) the development of a conceptual analysis matrix grounded in the specialized literature; (b) the design of a structured questionnaire comprising statements assessed using a five-point Likert scale, which was reviewed by a committee of experts in human resource management; and (c) the administration of the questionnaire to SGB employees to identify their perceptions of the soft skills by their immediate managers. The data were presented using divergent bar charts to identify the least developed item within each competency. Based on the theoretical framework, the findings supported the development of a technical product consisting of action plans designed using the 5W2H tool, with the objective of improving the least developed aspects of the soft skills assessed among SGB managers. Main Findings: The conceptual analysis matrix resulted in the identification of 14 soft skills that constituted the analytical framework of this study: (1) Communication; (2) Problem Solving; (3) Teamwork; (4) Adaptability/Flexibility/Resilience; (5) Interpersonal Relationships/Interpersonal Skills; (6) Creativity and Innovation; (7) Professional Ethics; (8) Leadership; (9) Critical/Analytical Thinking; (10) Conflict Resolution/Conflict Management; (11) Learning; (12) Decision-Making; (13) Customer/Citizen Orientation; and (14) Planning and Organization. The questionnaire results indicate that SGB employees hold a predominantly positive perception of their managers' soft skills. Nevertheless, specific gaps were identified in areas such as feedback, participatory planning, conflict prevention, and shared decision-making, which received the lowest levels of agreement among respondents. Theoretical and Methodological Contributions: From a theoretical perspective, the study advances the discussion on soft skills in Public Administration. Methodologically, the development of the conceptual analysis matrix contributes to reducing the conceptual fragmentation observed in the literature on soft skills. Furthermore, it provides a structured and replicable model for diagnosing and assessing soft skills in public organizations. Relevance and Originality: The originality of the study lies in integrating theory and practice by identifying behavioral gaps and proposing practical actions to foster the development of public managers, considering the demands of digital transformation and Public Administration 4.0. In addition, the research addresses an underexplored topic by examining soft skills within the context of Brazilian Public Administration. Social and Managerial Contributions: By promoting the development of socio-emotional competencies among public managers, the study contributes to the modernization of public management. Furthermore, it aligns with SDG 16 of the UN 2030 Agenda, which seeks to build effective institutions. From a managerial perspective, the proposed action plans may support the training of public managers, strengthen people governance, and foster an organizational environment better suited to the demands of the digital era.

Título: Políticas públicas e o trabalho do cuidado invisível: quem ampara às mulheres que cuidam? Autor(es): Santos, Andreza Batista Abstract: To analyze, from the perspective of women working on the front line of public policies aimed at assisting other women, how the organizational and institutional structures of Public Administration influence their working conditions, care, and support. Methodology: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight female public servants from the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary branches who work in policies related to women’s reception, protection, and assistance. Data were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis, following Braun and Clarke (2006, 2021). Main Findings: The findings show that these professionals experience emotional overload, physical exhaustion, and institutional invisibility. The themes identified—Mission as a Burden, The Warrior Woman’s Labyrinth, and Cornered Care—reveal that care for caregivers themselves is insufficient, fragmented, and predominantly reactive. Relevance and Originality: The study highlights the contradictions between the care provided by the State and the lack of institutional mechanisms to protect caregivers, contributing to the field of Public Administration. Theoretical and Methodological Contributions: The research integrates discussions on gender, care, emotional labor, and street-level bureaucracy, expanding the understanding of gender inequalities within public organizations. Methodologically, it demonstrates the potential of Reflexive Thematic Analysis to investigate subjective experiences in contexts of high emotional demand. Social and Managerial Contributions: The study reinforces the need to institutionalize care policies for female public servants responsible for implementing policies for women and proposes guidelines for a technical product focused on psychological support, prevention of occupational illness, professional recognition, and strengthening institutional support.

Título: Coprodução e critérios ambientais de baixo carbono nas compras realizadas pelo município de Aracaju Autor(es): Maia, Augusto de Almeida Abstract: Objective: To analyze coproduction practices in the definition and implementation of lowcarbon environmental criteria in the public procurement of the municipality of Aracaju (SE), Brazil, between 2010 and 2025, understanding how collaborative mechanisms among the State, market and society relate to sustainability and innovation in public administration. Methodology: A single case study, quantitative and descriptive in nature, based on the documentary analysis of 482 municipal procurement notices, systematized through a structured checklist and processed by cluster analysis (Jaccard distance), a Low-Carbon Indicator (IBC), a linear mixed-effects model and structural equation modeling (DWLS estimator), complemented by the mapping of the applicable regulatory framework. Main results: The environmental stringency of the notices grew systematically over the period (β1 = 0.0151; p < 0.01), driven by Law No. 14,133/2021, but anchored in a compliance logic: low-carbon criteria concentrated in execution clauses (99.6%) and were residual in the competitive bid-evaluation phase (3.9%) and in life-cycle assessment (0.37%). Intra-organizational variability exceeded inter-organizational variability, revealing inconsistency in the institutionalization of practices. Certain documental elements associated with collaborative mechanisms (coproduction) showed a statistically significant association with circular economy in the execution phase (0.465) and with the use of technologies and ESG criteria (0.760), evidencing co-responsibility among actors as a condition for the effectiveness of low-carbon procurement. Relevance and originality: The study is innovative in integrating coproduction and low-carbon public procurement in an important Brazilian state capital, articulating normative, technological and participatory dimensions aligned with SDGs 11, 12, 13, 16 and 17. Theoretical, methodological and management contributions: It proposes a theoretical-empirical model grounded in a PRISMA review, builds the Low-Carbon Indicator (IBC) and offers practical guidelines for the sustainable management of procurement, supporting a technicaltechnological product for the analysis, ranking and monitoring of notices. Social/societal contributions: It strengthens democratic legitimacy and socio-environmental responsibility, promoting more resilient, inclusive and low-carbon cities.
