Cotas e desempenho acadêmico na UFBA: um estudo a partir dos coeficientes de rendimento

Um debate recorrente em torno das cotas na universidade e a possibilidade do cotista obter rendimento satisfatorio a despeito das diferencas no seu processo de formacao anterior ao ingresso na Universidade. O objetivo deste estudo e comparar o desempenho de alunos cotistas e nao cotistas da Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), reunindo evidencias que possam embasar acoes institucionais no sentido de assegurar solida formacao a todos os seus alunos. A amostra foi por composta por todos os alunos ativos (N=26.175) matriculados. As analises indicam desempenho superior de nao cotistas, sendo a magnitude da diferenca 6,81% (F=348,114, p<.000) quando os dois grupos sao diretamente comparados. Quando separados por area de conhecimento, os cotistas apresentam desempenho superior em cursos das areas de artes e humanidades de media e baixa concorrencia. O deficit na formacao basica, principalmente no dominio da matematica, aparece como um possivel fator de influencia nesta diferenca de desempenho. Os resultados sugerem um fenomeno complexo e multifacetado. Para alem das disputas ideologicas e preciso intervir nesta disparidade para uma efetiva inclusao dos cotistas na universidade.

Compromiso y consentimiento organizacional: un estudio de validez discriminante de los constructos

The organizational commitment is one of the most investigated topics of research in the field of organizational behavior and the genesis of its importance lies in recognizing the broad explanatory power of the construct. Given the apparent overlap reported in the literature between the affective and the normative dimensions of commitment, it has been proposed the construct of organizational compliance to differentiate committed workers from obedient ones. This article aims to establish the boundaries between the constructs of organizational commitment and consent. The study consisted of a cross-sectional survey with 994 workers from different organizations and production segments. The analysis suggests evidence of discriminant validity between consent, affective commitment and normative commitment. This can be observed in the different effect size of socio demographic variables on commitment and consent and the low correlation between consent and normative base of commitment (r=240).

Uso y eficacia de las prácticas de gestión de la producción y del trabajo: un survey de la industria brasileña

This work seeks to characterize the adoption, intensity of use, effectiveness and theperspective of future use of a group of twelve work and production management practices:Outsourcing; Business Process re-engineering; Supply Chain Management; Learning Culture;Empowerment; Team Based Work; Total Productive Maintenance; Concurrent Engineering;Production Cell; Just in Time; Total Quality Management; Integrated Computer-basedTechnology. A nationwide sample of 220 companies, with more than 150 employees, of thedifferent industrial sectors was used. Data collection was done by phone interviews withproduction managers and directors. The findings point toward a broad use of the practices,which have been introduced during the last decade, based on a very good evaluation on itsimpact over costs, quality and responsiveness. This research also provides a comparativescenario of a nationwide perspective with similar research projects which might deepens thecomprehension of the phenomena here described.
