The research question guiding this study is: how is technical efficiency configured in state-level upper secondary education across Brazilian states, considering their relative capacity to transform available resources into learning outcomes? The general objective is to evaluate this technical efficiency through the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), adopting a comparative approach to relative efficiency. The 27 Federation Units were treated as Decision-Making Units, using 2023 data from the School Census, SIOPE, and the Continuous PNAD. Inputs included: teachers, state schools, schools with internet access, schools with libraries, and educational expenditure; outputs included: IDEB and the enrollment rate of the population aged 15 to 17 years. Results reveal that, under the CCR model (constant returns to scale), only 2 states (7.4%) are efficient; under the BCC model (variable returns to scale), 9 states (33.3%) achieve the efficiency frontier, including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Santa Catarina, Goiás, the Federal District, Acre, and Roraima. Benchmarking analysis identified Espírito Santo as a recurrent reference for 15 of the 18 inefficient units. For the state of Pará, feasible targets were projected: raising IDEB from 4.3 to 4.5 and the enrollment rate from 88.5% to 92.7%, while maintaining current resources. The study contributes theoretically by validating the hypothesis of decreasing returns to scale in the educational public sector; methodologically, by demonstrating that the integrated application of the CCR and BCC models clearly distinguishes structural and managerial components of inefficiency; and practically, by offering a Technical-Technological Product (Technical Guide) delivered to the State Department of Education of Pará (SEDUC-PA). It is concluded that inefficiency in state-level upper secondary education is not homogeneous, manifesting in a dual form – structural (associated with scale) and managerial (associated with resource use) – which requires differentiated interventions and guides public management toward the improvement of governance and resource allocation. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufra.edu.br/jspui/handle/riufra/2876 Título: Gestão humanizada: contribuições para os desafios de gestão de pessoas de uma universidade pública da Amazônia, sob a ótica da teoria do cuidado humano. Autor(es): OLIVEIRA, Jefferson Modesto de Abstract: People management in the Brazilian federal public service has been increasingly challenged by the intensification of institutional demands, contemporary organizational transformations, and the impacts of these dynamics on employees’ health and well-being. In this context, this dissertation aims to analyze humanized management as an organizational strategy within a public university in the Amazon region, articulating theoretical foundations, institutional analysis, and employees’ perceptions. The study was developed through three complementary chapters in the format of scientific articles. The first chapter consists of a scientometric analysis of the scientific literature on humanized management, examined through the lens of the human caring theory, with the objective of identifying trends, gaps, and theoretical convergences, highlighting the contribution of human caring theory to humanized management. The second chapter analyzes the phenomenon of mental distress in the public service, focusing on sick leaves due to mental disorders at the Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA), relating them to practices of moral harassment and discussing humanized management as an institutional strategy to address these issues, in light of federal regulations and institutional documents. The third chapter presents the results of the field research, conducted using a mixed-methods approach, with the application of a questionnaire to managers, administrative staff, and faculty members at UFRA, totaling 182 respondents, with an estimated margin of error of approximately 6.6% and a 95% confidence level. Quantitative analysis revealed heterogeneous perceptions regarding humanized management practices, while qualitative analysis, based on thematic analysis, identified core meanings associated with weaknesses in institutional dialogue, participation, and recognition. The results indicate that, although there have been normative advances and initiatives aligned with innovation and the modernization of people management in public administration, challenges remain for the consolidation of effectively humanized practices in everyday organizational life. It is concluded that humanized management has strategic potential for strengthening work relationships, promoting care, and addressing mental distress in the public service. 2026-01-27T00:00:00Z
