Percepção dos egressos sobre a aplicação dos conhecimentos adquiridos e a relação com o desempenho no trabalho

Abstract

The empirical study was carried out through a survey, using an electronic questionnaire as a data collection instrument, which obtained a sample of 49.3% of the 136 Masters graduated from the Professional Master's Program in Management of Public Organizations and Systems (PPGGOSP) from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), graduated from 2015 to 2021, addressing the use of the knowledge obtained in the Program and the relationship with their work performance. The PPGGOSP was chosen as the unit of analysis because most students are employees of public institutions, which have their own dynamics for knowledge application and dissemination. After analyzing the research results using the PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square - Structural Modeling Equation) technique, the proposed model was measured and validated, confirming the relationships between Knowledge Conversion and Organizational Learning, and between Perceived Value of Knowledge and Acquisition of Knowledge. Additionally, it was evidenced, through a multigroup analysis, that the relationships between Knowledge Conversion and Organizational Learning, and between Perceived Value of Knowledge and Knowledge Acquisition are greater for employees with less time in the institution and younger age, identifying greater knowledge application, perception of the knowledge conversion impact and organizational learning by people who have worked for less than 10 years in the same institution.
