This dissertation analyzes the performance of the Social Security and Family Commission (SSFC) in the Chamber of Deputies with a focus on Social Security and Social Assistance policies from 1999 to 2018. The objective of the work is to analyze the internal dynamics of the SSFC from the perspective of approach neoinstitutional, whose debate focuses on the importance of institutional rules in defining the decision-making process. We observed the institutional context where the projects were discussed and voted on and the role of political actors. The analysis was made by two hypotheses: H1 states that “The commission acted proactively filtering and approving the social security and assistance proposals processed in the SSFC” and H2 maintains that “The commission has no conclusive power when what is on the agenda is a matter of interest. government coalition, due to the high degree of conflict they raise”. This is an exploratory study that quantifies and interprets the data related to the processing of proposals submitted to the committee, recorded in the annual reports of the legislative arena, available on the website of the Chamber of Deputies. The survey found that the SSFC is the third largest committee in number of parliamentarians and projects submitted for discussion, having a structure capable of deciding on the outcome of matters within its competence. The analysis of the data revealed a small number of altered projects within the commission, which leads us to infer that the legislative matters submitted to the SSFC presented issues of low conflict between the parties. The approved proposals were processed with low interference from urgent requests, and the decision deliberated by the SSFC was accepted. However, the results also showed that this commission is an important arena to streamline the Chamber's activities, acting as a filtering space for the projects presented, approving or rejecting them within its competence. The observed results suggest that the most complex issues, related to the Social Security and Social Assistance themes, obey a special procedure outside the SSFC.

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
