A Relação de influência do capital social, da ecoinovação e o processo operacional em atividades tradicionais na Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-07-10) VELOSO, Camila Oliveira Nascimento; MACKE, Janaina; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4947114574577513; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7781-7161; MATIAS, Isaac; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5296007792634529
The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship of influence of Social Capital and Eco-innovation in the Operational Process of traditional activities in the context of the Brazilian Amazon. There was a certain scarcity in the literature of approaches to this relationship between constructs in the Brazilian Amazon region, which motivated this research. To this end, explor-atory research was carried out, with a quantitative approach, with the field research technique of application of questionnaires with the social actors who carry out traditional activities in the region of Marajó Island/PA, in the municipality of Soure and four other surrounding cities, and data analysis through Structural Equation Modeling (MEE). It was evidenced that Social Cap-ital influences Eco-innovation, by uniting social norms and obligations in networks of trust with mutual cooperation, through the sum of efforts that help in the local development of small busi-nesses, and added to the actions of Eco-innovation influence the result of the Operational Pro-cess of the researched actors. The findings indicate that Social Capital directly affects Eco-innovation, that Eco-innovation directly affects the Operational Process and that Social Capital indirectly influences the Operational Process through Eco-innovation.

A Relação de influência entre o processo decisório e a escolha racional na eficiência operacional de instituições públicas de ensino superior
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-08-20) RIBEIRO, Fernando Maia; MATIAS, Isaac; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5296007792634529
The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship of influence between the decision-making process, rational choice and operational efficiency. Rational actions tend to be influenced by the decision-making process, which, together, influence organizational efficiency. Decision-making based on rationality has been the subject of studies in several theoretical and empirical studies. In the field of rational choice, there is extensive literature involving private sector entities; however, few studies are found regarding public sector organizations. The efficient execution of operations in public administration has been increasingly demanded by society, especially after Constitutional Amendment No. 19/1998, which introduced the principle of efficiency in the Brazilian constitution, imposing that public administration be exercised with promptness, quality, perfection, effectiveness and functional performance. The reality exposed was motivating for carrying out this research, which demonstrated the importance of rational decision-making by public managers to improve organizational efficiency. Thus, exploratory research was conducted with a quantitative approach, using the field research technique, through the application of 167 questionnaires to decision-makers in Public Higher Education Institutions in the city of Belém, state of Pará. Our findings show, through the theoretical model adopted in the research, that the Decision-Making Process directly influences Rational Choice and Operational Efficiency. In turn, Rational Choice directly influences Operational Efficiency, that is, there is a strong interrelationship between the Decision-Making Process, Rational Choice and Operational Efficiency constructs. Exploratory factor analysis explains 59% of the variance of the proposed model. Another finding of this research is the confirmation that rational choice mediates the relationship between the Decision-Making Process and Operational Efficiency with a statistical significance level lower than 0.05%. With a relevant and original approach, the research contributes to scientific and academic knowledge by investigating the interaction of two constructs in a performance proxy based on rational choice theory. That said, it points to the behavior of managers adopting a growth and agile mindset, even in public organizations that adopt a more traditional type of management, since managers aim to improve decision-making in a rational way, even when they are in an environment of uncertainty and constant evolution. In the social sphere, this research contributes to better practices in the provision of services offered to society, in a timely and high-quality manner, guiding, in some way, institutional governance. Finally, it also contributes, in managerial terms, that operational efficiency, when stimulated by rational choice based on decision-making, makes the Decision-Making Process more feasible

A Relação dos critérios de decisão da qualidade da tomada de decisão organizacional e da inovatividade gerencial em Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-04-28) AMARAL, Eleide Rose Cristo de Oliveira; MATIAS, Isaac; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5296007792634529
The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between decision criteria, the quality of organizational decision-making and managerial innovativeness in the environment of a higher education institution. The literature has pointed out that the more the management has the ability to interpret the risks inherent in the organizational context in a more rational, intuitive way and that envisions a certain degree of expectation that the decision-making will be the most correct, the better the solution for the problems that satisfied them. This is because, in a faster and innovative way, they reorganize their resources through the adoption of new management processes in complex environments. Thus, the discussion of this work is centered on this type of environment, the locus being a Federal Institutions of Higher Education, in which managers are involved in decision-making, with the aim of obtaining the best and greatest organizational effectiveness from their individual choices and its consequences on the collective organization. Through the application of a structured questionnaire, directed to the managers of a public institution of higher education, 159 requests were answered, after deleting data outliers. The result of the processes revealed that there is influence between the constructs thought and the managerial innovation proxy, triggering a better performance in terms of operations, as well as the creation of a more proactive and innovative operational environment. It is also observed, in the model presented, that in the organizational environment, innovative actions tend to grow proportionally to the increase in the levels of decision criteria adopted in accordance with the quality of integrated decision-making. With a relevant and original approach, the research contributes to scientific and academic knowledge by investigating the interaction of two constructs in a performance proxy based on decision theory, which points to the behavior of managers, with the aim of developing managerial innovation, facing an environment in constant transformations, allowing them to optimize their praxis in the organizational routine. In the social sphere, it contributes to improvements in the entity’s internal activities, by considering the best choices in terms of decision-making, starting to create more innovative actions and thus optimizing public policies, programs and services provided to the community. Finally, it contributes in managerial terms, as it shows that greater administrative efficiency and follow-up of actions are stimulated by managerial innovations when mediated by the quality of decision-making.
