Avaliação da resiliência em uma instituição de ensino superior: o caso dos laboratórios de pesquisa da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The trend toward precarious employment in Brazil's public universities is a growing concern in the area. Research and teaching laboratories are central to the development of technology and knowledge to address emerging problems such as pandemics, global warming, water crisis, energy crisis, etc. Therefore, these sociotechnical systems need to focus on reliability and risk-based methods to manage their activities. In this paper, a resilience-based approach is proposed to test resilience indicators to measure the resilience potential of laboratories at the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - UERJ). In addition, these results were used to propose recommendations for their improvement. As a result, many indicators were created, which were used to compose the Resilience Analysis Grid (RAG). The average of all respondents showed that laboratories were 44% able to respond, 51% able to monitor, 37% able to learn, and 35% able to anticipate. The greatest weaknesses were found in the indicators of accident investigation, anticipation of risk, and safety training in laboratories.
