Gestão de Riscos em Organizações Públicas: uma análise das práticas de gestão de riscos nas Organizações Militares do Exército Brasileiro no Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

Risk Management, originally widespread in the private sector, grows in importance in Public Administration, due to the impacts of constant changes in a globalized world, which leads managers to adopt practices aimed at increasing efficiency in the management of public assets and results offered to society. In this scenario, the Brazilian Army, as an integral part of the Direct Public Administration, is subordinated to the same principles set out in the legal system of the Federal Administration. Thus, within the line of research Controllership in public and private entities, this study aims to analyze the current stage of risk management practices regarding internal organizational resource management processes (areas of information technology; acquisitions and contracting; financial and budget management; personnel management; and asset management) of the Military Organizations of the Brazilian Army in Rio de Janeiro. The methodology used was conducted by a qualitative and quantitative approach, through documentary research and a survey application, employing statistical techniques (t-test) on the data obtained. The results indicate that, four years after the implementation of the Brazilian Army's Risk Management Technical Manual (EB20-MT- 02.001), most managers recognize the importance of risk management and undertake actions to formalize it, despite there being opportunities for improvement. Among the convergent practices, the integration of risk management into institutional strategic planning, increased awareness of the importance of GR and the decisive support and action of those responsible for the governance of Military Organizations stand out. On the other hand, there are practices that lead to improvement, such as communication with stakeholders, staff training and the structure (staff, IT systems, tools and methods) made available to support the systematization of Risk Management. Based on these conclusions, a questionnaire proposal was developed, containing good Risk Management practices for Military Organizations and other Public Administration Institutions that still need to progress in the systematization of Risk Management, taking into account their Strategic Management Plans, strategies and objectives defined therein. Thus, this study contributes to professional and academic circles by proposing a set of Risk Management practices that can be inserted in the context of activities carried out by members of the First Line of Military Organizations of the Brazilian Army, members of the Public Sector, in addition to filling out a gap in the literature when consolidating risk management practices in the public sector.
