Doctoral Thesis Ensaios sobre liderança e sucesso em projetos: revisão de literatura e evidências dos efeitos dos estilos transacional e transformacional sob mediação do autogerenciamento(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2024-02-05) Alves, Thales da Costa Lago; Medeiros, Carlos Alberto Freire; Gurgel, André Morais; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1925-8031; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7215356171529987; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3830-1162; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9398091583694583; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1068931829671427; Moraes, Renato de Oliveira; Felipe, Israel José dos Santos; Silva, Luciano Ferreira da; Assunção, Marcus Vinicius Dantas deThe adoption of project management has been consolidating in organizations over the last decades. In light of this reality, leadership stands out as one of the competencies that can positively contribute to project success. The literature has been addressing this relationship, aiming to observe the effects of leader styles and competencies on project success, and furthermore, to incorporate other factors that, together with leadership actions, may enhance the achievement of project success. Given the relevance of this topic, this thesis aims to analyze the impact of transactional and transformational leadership on the success of the project under the mediation of self-management and moderation of factors inherent to the project context. The first essay consists of a systematic literature review (SLR) aiming to explore how the relationship between leadership and project success is addressed in international literature. In total, 59 articles were selected, and the results revealed the prevalence of quantitative analyses using models to assess the leadership-project success relationship, incorporating moderating and mediating factors that can influence the impact of the leader's role in successful projects. Among other findings, the SLR also indicates that transformational and transactional leadership styles, along with leader competencies, are the most used approaches in the reviewed works. Considering the need to expand the range of factors explored in models analyzing the impact of leadership on project success, two additional empirical essays were developed. For this purpose, a survey was conducted to gather data on indicators related to project success, transformational and transactional leadership, and self-management. The latter construct emerges as an innovation in the tested models, as the self-regulatory characteristics of team members lack further investigation in the face of similar research already conducted. The total sample for this study comprised 406 project team members from the five regions of Brazil. Through structural equation modeling (SEM), the second essay of the thesis found a direct positive impact of transactional leadership on project success and an indirect impact through the self-management of team members. Additionally, in another novel finding for the field, a significant moderating effect was observed in the relationship between leadership and success in differentiated groups based on the project management approach used. It has been observed that, at higher levels of transactional leadership, the achievement of project success becomes more evident in teams that adopt agile and traditional approaches. Equally using SEM techniques, the third essay indicated a positive effect of transformational leadership on project success. This impact also occurs indirectly through the partial mediation of self-management. In this essay, the moderating effect was tested among groups divided by the form of work execution: onsite, telecommuting, and hybrid. The results revealed that higher levels of selfmanagement among team members working in a telecommuting format have a more pronounced impact on project success.Master Thesis Gestão de projetos na administração pública: um estudo sobre a implantação do processo eletrônico na UFRN e no IFRN(2019-12-23) Alves, Thales da Costa Lago; Gurgel, André Morais; Sousa Neto, Manoel Veras de; ; ; ; Medeiros Júnior, Josué Vitor de; ; Medeiros, Marcos Fernando Machado de; ; Lins Filho, Marcos Luiz;The adoption of project management is a strategic and essential need for the public sector in the search for efficiency and to distance itself from the stigma of excessive bureaucratization, delays or non-compliance with deliveries deadlines, and waste of public resources. Given this reality, the present study aims to understand how the projects for the implementation of the electronic process were developed at UFRN and IFRN, as determined by Decree 8.539/2015. The research is descriptive in nature and uses a qualitative approach based on a multi-case study involving the implementation of the system in two federal educational institutions of Rio Grande do Norte. The data collection instruments consist of normative documents regarding the implementation of the electronic process in public administration and semi-structured interviews focused on the project management practices identified in the literature. The interview subjects were the managers who were in charge of the implementation of the projects in their respective units. The analysis of the textual corpus of the interviews, aided by the IRAMUTEQ software, allowed the definition of four major categories influencing the process investigated: Product, Integration, Project Management Practices and Compliance. Subsequently, the analysis of the data was developed using content analysis. Results indicated that legal compliance, i.e., compliance with federal standards related to the electronic protocol, was the main motivator and delineator of project objectives. The research also singled out the project management practices implemented in both institutions, and indicated that a greater volume of practices were identified at UFRN when compared to the IFRN, given that the former has a project office to implement the electronic process. Institutional sponsorship was identified as the main support for project management. In contrast, the lack of in-depth institutional knowledge about document management and protocol procedures associated with administrative processes characterized the difficulties faced by project managers. The main recommendation for future studies is the development of a quantitative study, using countrywide data, considering managers who implemented the electronic process in their institutions. The goal would be to identify representative practices in project management, as well as positive and negative issues inherent to the projects considered during the study.
