Estruturação do programa de integridade pública do estado do Rio de Janeiro: acompanhamento e análise de suas etapas preliminares

Abstract

This dissertation presents the analysis of the preliminary stages of structuring the public integrity program established through State Decree nº 46.745/2019, in the bodies and entities of the Executive Power of the state of Rio de Janeiro. The study sought to understand the challenges faced by servants involved in the activities of implementing the integrity programs of those organizations and described proposals for dealing with possible obstacles. It also sought to know the need for support from the regulatory body (Controladoria Geral do Estado do Rio de Janeiro – CGE-RJ) for the development of this public policy and produced a document to serve as a source of knowledge for those interested in the subject. In certain that, the program involved actions of a new nature, accompanied by a limited amount of training and little support material with an effectively practical nature on the subject, characterizing the relevance of the present work. The research methodology was by qualitative analysis, based on a case study, with the selection of twelve bodies and entities. The research was carried out through semi-structured and in-depth interviews, following an approach that observed the “axes” and “phases” of the public integrity program stipulated in 5th and 6th articles of State Decree nº 46.745/2019 as well as contemplating the “relevant areas” established in its 8th article. Thus, it was provided to catalog eighteen experiences for registration, highlighting the improvement of the “internal integrity committees”; the obstacles related to the “electoral period” of 2022; the relevance of adopting “communication initiatives with simple language and generic content” in the communication actions of organizations; the need for the “existence of a central body”, as CGE-RJ, to support and guide actions; and the importance of “integrating behavioral economics tools into the integrity program”. All records were pointed out in the "Experience Report" – Appendix D – to serve as a contribution to bodies and entities covered by State Decree nº 46.745/2019 and other organizations that may develop or update their public integrity program.
