Uma análise da relação entre as ações de capacitação e o mapeamento de competências na Universidade Federal do Pará

Abstract

According to the National Policy for Personnel Development (PNDP), Management by Competencies is the reference for managing people in the national federal public service. The initial stage of the implementation process of this management model is the mapping of competencies. It aims to identify the competency gap, that is, the difference between the competencies needed to achieve the organizational strategy and the internal competencies already available in the organization. The gap identified in the diagnostic phase should guide the planning, execution, and evaluation of the training actions promoted by the organization. The present study aimed to describe and analyze data regarding the relationship between competence mapping and planning/execution of training actions promoted by the Federal University of Pará. Such analysis shows if the data on competence mapping guide the proposition and execution of training actions. The results pointed out, through three factors investigated (training actions promoted, number of people trained, and training hours), that there is a poor relation between training actions and competencies considered as high priority of training need according to the mapping. Therefore, factors not related to the competency mapping data guided the planning of the training actions promoted by the institution. Training plans were developed following, to a lesser extent, the data resulting from the competency mapping process. Future studies may expand the number of institutions studied and the factors analyzed including aspects such as budget for training.
