Gestão e processo decisório: as mudanças nas estruturas organizacionais da Universidade Federal de Goiás

Abstract

To study university institutions is justified by the role they represent in any country, and specifically in Brazil, as an organization which should commit to the construction and reconstruction of knowledge, to its transmission and dissemination. Besides that, there is little production of theoretical and empirical papers which approach the evolution of federal universities organizational structures. Before this challenge, we have idealized an exploratory and qualitative research, in which we have developed a bibliographic mapping on the subject in scientific articles and a survey of secondary data in internal and external documents. This study aims at identifying the external changes and their effects on the internal restructuring of the university institution, which can be seen in statutes and regulations, comprehending change as transformation forms and functions filed by an organization and derived from external and internal pressure. As a result, we can conclude that the external factors determine the functional arrangements and internal structuring as the causes of change in institution structures.
