This research aims to identify and analyze the critical success factors (CSF) of information technology outsourcing (ITO) in a Brazilian municipal public agency. The success factors of ITO were identified through a systematic literature view, which retrieved 314 articles from the ACM and IEEE databases, 30 of which met the research protocol criteria. The Delphi technique was used as a research method to determine the CSF based on the success factors identified in the literature. The Delphi panel included thirty-five experts, and the data were collected in 2018. The results indicate the existence of six CSF information technology outsourcing: Communication, Technical Ability, Commitment, Conformity, Context and Confidence. The survey also identified that the processes of implementation, and the behavior between the client and the supplier, play a more critical role in the success of the ITO than hiring processes. The research suggests that contractual clauses, while important, are not sufficient to guarantee the success of ITO initiatives. Moreover, theories with a social perspective contribute more than economic theories when it comes to analyzing ITO in public agencies. ; Esta investigación tiene como objetivo identificar y analisar los factores críticos de éxito (FCS) de la tercerización de la tecnología de la información (TTI) en un órgano público municipal brasileño. Los factores de éxito de la TTI fueron identificados por medio de una revisión sistemática de la literatura, la cual extrajo 314 artículos de las bases de datos ACM y IEEE, de los cuales 30 artículos atendieron al protocolo de la investigación.

This article discusses the politicization of the bureaucratic structures of the Brazilian municipalities based on appointed positions. The intention is to demonstrate patterns of political appointments that reflect institutional performance. The data were provided by Munic/IBGE 2005/14 and IpoC- Instituições Políticas Comparadas/UFRGS. Firstly, the study observed the degree of variability of the distribution of these positions in municipal structures, and the quality of the appointees' education. Then, an analysis of spatial, global, and local dependence was performed. In addition, the difference in performance among municipalities was statistically tested using the independent t-test. The test compared municipalities' performance concerning the number and education of appointees. The study used the Municipal GDP-Per-Capita, the Índice Firjan de Desenvolvimento Municipal (IFDM), and the Índice de Governança Municipal (IGM) created by the Federal Board of Administration as proxies for performance. The results stress the complexity of local public management since some of the tests indicate the number and education of appointees as predictors of high performance while other studies do not find the same relationship. ; Este artículo aborda la politización de las estructuras burocráticas de los municipios brasileños a través del uso de cargos comisionados. Los datos se obtuvieron a través del banco de datos del grupo de investigación Instituciones Políticas Comparadas (IpoC), del Instituto Brasileño de Geografía y Estadística (IBGE) y de los sitios web oficiales del Consejo Federal de Administración (CFA) y de la Federación de las Industrias de Río de Janeiro (FIRJAN). Inicialmente se verificó el grado de variabilidad de la distribución de esos cargos en las estructuras municipales y la calidad instruccional de esos servidores. A continuación, se procedió a un análisis de dependencia espacial global y local. Además, se analizó estadísticamente, con el uso del test t independiente, la diferencia de desempeño entre los municipios con comisionados con más capacidades en relación con los de menos y, entre los municipios con mayores cantidades de comisionados en comparación con los con menos. Como proxy de desempeño se utilizó el PIB per cápita municipal, el Índice FIRJAN de Desarrollo Municipal (IFDM) y el Índice de Gobernanza Municipal (IGM) creado por el CFA. El resultado revela la complejidad de la administración pública municipal, ya que, algunas pruebas indican la capacitación y la cantidad de servidores como solución y recomendación a los municipios; mientras que otras indican lo contrario. ; Este artigo aborda a politização das estruturas burocráticas dos municípios brasileiros mediante cargos comissionados (CCs). Os dados foram obtidos por meio do banco de dados do grupo de pesquisa Instituições Políticas Comparadas (IpoC), do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), e dos sites ofi ciais do Conselho Federal de Administração (CFA) e da Federação das Indústrias do Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN). Inicialmente, verificou-se o grau de variabilidade da distribuição desses cargos nas estruturas municipais e a qualidade instrucional desses servidores. Em seguida, procedeu-se a uma análise de dependência espacial global e local. Além disso, analisou-se estatisticamente, via teste t independente, a diferença de desempenho entre os municípios com maiores capacidades dos comissionados em comparação àqueles com menores capacidades dos comissionados e entre os municípios com maiores quantidades de comissionados em comparação àqueles com menores quantidades de comissionados. Como proxy de desempenho, utilizou-se o produto interno bruto (PIB) per capita municipal, o Índice FIRJAN de Desenvolvimento Municipal (IFDM) e o Índice de Governança Municipal (IGM), criado pelo CFA. O resultado traz à tona a complexidade da administração pública municipal, já que os diversos testes divergem sobre os efeitos da capacitação e da quantidade de servidores comissionados como elementos preditores de um melhor desempenho dos municípios.

The participation of municipal governments in investment in sport and leisure is still a less investigated topic and little is known regarding it. As a consequence, there are no information whether having an exclusive sport office would increase investments. For that matter, the present descriptive study aimed to analyze if the political-administrative structure of municipal governments in the state of Piauí had any interference in the per capita investment capacity in the Sports and Leisure Function (SLF) in 2013. It was concluded that the political-administrative structure has not interfered in the expense per capita capacity in SLF. ; A participação dos governos municipais no investimento do esporte e do lazer é uma temática ainda pouco estudada e pouco se sabe sobre o assunto. Consequentemente, não temos informações se ter uma secretaria exclusiva de esporte aumentaria os investimentos. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo, de natureza descritiva buscou analisar se a estrutura político administrativa das prefeituras municipais do estado do Piauí interfere na capacidade de investimentos na Função Desporto e Lazer (FDL) per capita no ano de 2013. Concluiu-se que a estrutura político administrativa não interferiu na capacidade de gasto per capita na FDL.

A rede pública municipal de ensino do Rio de Janeiro desenvolve práticas de mídiaeducação desde os anos 1980. A pesquisa a que se refere este artigo teve como objetivo analisar características e abrangência dessas práticas e possíveis relações destas com diretrizes formuladas pela SMERJ para o setor. Foi realizada, em primeira etapa, através de questionários, junto a gestores(as) das 1009 escolas de ensino fundamental; na segunda etapa, foram feitas visitas a oito escolas, com práticas mídia-educativas diversificadas, com observações e entrevistas; por fim, foi realizada análise de documentos da SMERJ, nos quais se encontram diretrizes propostas para as práticas mídia-educativas nas escolas. Em razão da extensão dos dados produzidos, o artigo aborda os resultados da análise dos questionários, em articulação com a análise documental. Os resultados indicam que a mídiaeducação está presente em mais de 90% das escolas da rede, prevalecendo amplamente práticas de análise de conteúdos de produtos das mídias de massa (materiais audiovisuais; textos do jornalismo on-line; telejornalismo) e, em menor escala, de conteúdos de redes sociais. A produção de mídias, prática importante na perspectiva da mídia-educação, é pouco usual nas escolas, assim como o uso de TIC nas práticas pedagógicas. Os resultados indicam que as propostas formuladas pela SMERJ para essa área, nos anos 1990 (sob influência das diretrizes para a media education, sistematizadas pela Unesco), estão fortemente presentes nas práticas escolares. No entanto, as novas formulações desse campo, embora integrem diretrizes mais recentes da política educacional da Secretaria, não integram ainda o cotidiano escolar. ; Rio de Janeiro's municipal public education network has been developing media educational practices since the years of the 1980s. The research addressed by this article had as target the analysis of features and scope of these practices and possible relations with guidelines formulated by the SMERJ (Rio de Janeiro's Municipal Education Bureau) for the sector. It was conducted, at a first stage, through questionnaires, presented to the managers of the 1009 Elementary and Middle School facilities; at a second stage, visits were held to eight schools with diversified media educational practices, with observations and interviews; finally, the analysis of documents of the SMERJ, in which proposed guidelines can be found regarding media educational practices in schools. In virtue of the extent of the data produced, the article approaches the results of questionnaires' analysis, in connection to the documental analysis. Results indicate that the media education is present in more than 90% of the schools of the network, where content analysis practices of mass media products (audiovisual materials; online journalism texts; TV news) and, in smaller scale, of social medial network prevail. Media production, an important practice in the perspective of media education, is not very usual in schools, as well as the use of Computing and Communication Technology in pedagogical practices. Results indicate that the proposals formulated by the SMERJ for this area, in the 1990s (under the influence of the guidelines for media education, systematized by Unesco), are strongly present in school practices. However, new formulations in this field, although integrating more recent guidelines of educational policies of the Bureau, do not yet integrate the school daily routine.

Transparency is universally regarded as an element of good governance. The new form of activity of local governments, including the accountability of these voters/taxpayers, medium, control bodies and other interested parties to monitor the activities of governments emphasize the attention given to transparency and its determinants. The economic, social and financial context that local governments are subject requires them to be as transparent as possible in order to create greater involvement of citizens in the affairs of political and simultaneously promote greater accountability of the local voters to those same citizens. However, transparency levels are often below the standards required for public or government agencies. Particularly, at the local level, the transparency practices may vary substantially from one local government to another. Despite recent efforts, the current empirical research does not provide definitive answers yet about the reasons for the fluctuations in the levels of transparency. The main objective of this study was to identify the determinants of transparency in Portuguese municipalities. Using the Municipal Transparency Index of years 2013 and 2014 we tried to study the socio-demographic variables, political and economic-financial to the universe of 308 Portuguese municipalities, through the test the research hypotheses previously formulated in the light of agency theory. Statistical results indicate that the size, individuals with age between 15 and 74 years old use the internet, education level, aging index, unemployment rate, financial autonomy and net debt are determinants of transparency in Portuguese municipalities. There was no empirical evidence for the political variables, e.g., form of government, political ideology and political/electoral participation.

The eco-friendliness achieved several spaces in society, also reaching the government as a response to the pressures exerted by international organizations, but also by society itself, demanding compliance with the legislation, seeking to develop better environmental quality and promote the municipalities reactions that seek answers to these requirements because for decades that environmental responsibility was focused only on federal and state government levels. However, in 1997, the National Environmental Council (CONAMA), by Resolution No. 237/1997, establishing the evaluation of local environmental impacts of projects for competence of municipalities, which must coordinate actions, developing environmental education for understanding and community respect for the environment, implementing regulations to control environmental deterioration, enabling a reduction of degraded areas, thus taking the mission to stimulate local sustainable development with social equity, economic development and environmental protection.
