Ideias governantes em uma instituição pública de educação, ciência e tecnologia: missão, visão e valores

Abstract

This research identified, by a case study, the perception about organizational values, purpose and vision among members (civil servants) of a public institution of education and compared those identified ideas with the formal mission, vison and values statements. Due to their differences in nature, those ideas required three different methodological approaches and tools. To identify the values, a quantitative approach was used; to identify de purpose of the organization, interviews and, to identify the vision, a creative method based on projective tests – in this case, drawing. The outcome of this research partially confirmed the initial hypothesis that those ideas within mission, vision and values statements where not shared among the members of the organization.
