“…Few are the studies focused on performance management systems (PMSs) within universities and carried out with a practical approach (Busetti and Dente 2014;Cosenz 2014;Allini et al 2017;Martin-Sardesai et al 2017;Prisacaru and Litvin 2017;Nardo et al 2017;Rubino et al 2017;Nisio et al 2018;Angiola et al 2018), and even fewer are the studies combining universities' performance management with an IC or knowledge management approach (Esposito et al 2013;Siboni et al 2013;Secundo and Elia 2014;Martin-Sardesai and Guthrie 2018;Secundo et al 2018a;Cricelli et al 2018). 2 To the best of our knowledge, this the first practical study investigating a university managers' evaluation system, which is part of the whole PMS, with an IC approach, that is, to question whether and how the capability of managing IC enters the formal evaluation systems of university managers.…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether universities performance management systems (PMS), consider intellectual capital (IC) management as a criterion for evaluating their managers. The issue has been addressed investigating the case study of the University of Calabria. The evaluation systems for managers of the University of Calabria were analyzed with a longitudinal approach, investigating two different systems (2012-2014 and 2015-2017). Two qualitative tools were employed: document analysis and semi-structured interviews. From a formal analysis of the evaluation systems for managers of the University of Calabria, it emerges that the reference to IC and its subcomponents is easier to identify within the individual performance component, which reduces its weight switching from the 2012-2014 to 2015-2017 evaluation system. From the analysis of semi-structured interviews, it emerges that the University of Calabria is far from considering IC substantially as a key criterion to evaluate its managers. Focusing on IC will require the development of an IC specific project addressed to make sense of this new object and of the consequent new managerial practices to give sense to IC measurements and diffuse them within the organization. The originality of the paper lies in the novelty of its aim, linking together the evaluation of universities managers, too often clouded by respect for the academicians in managerial roles, and the role of IC management as an evaluation criteria to assess their performance. The paper offers both theoretical contributions to different streams of the literature, namely the IC and PMS and public sector literature and practical contributions, filling the void between the evaluation systems of university managers as provided by theory and the application of these models in practice, a gap especially significant for public organizations.

“…Para enfrentar os novos desafios propostos, a sociedade exige uma governança pública mais sólida, espera-se que as organizações públicas e seus líderes realizem mudanças individuais e organizacionais fundamentais para um serviço púbico moderno e centrado no cidadão (Haricharan, 2023). Ciclo de vida dos sistemas de avaliação de desempenho Desenvolver sistemas que se refletem de forma prática na adoção e uso efetivo da AD, não é uma tarefa fácil, principalmente no setor público (Doleh & Weir, 2007;Nisio et al, 2018). Vários desafios são percebidos, tais como: dificuldade para definição de critérios de avaliação, com medições incompletas e que não abarcam de forma suficiente as dimensões de desempenho; geração de instrumentos de avaliação falhos, com sistemas desenvolvidos de forma parcial; influência política dos diversos atores e entidades organizacionais, com impacto no uso simbólico da AD (Nisio et al, 2018;osmani & maliqi, 2012).…”

“…o segundo estágio refere-se à implementação, que passa pelos processos ou etapas de extração das informações, aferição, análise e divulgação dos achados para as partes interessadas (Bourne et al, 2000;okwir et al, 2018). Tais etapas serão úteis à introdução do sistema na organização (Bourne et al, 2000;Nisio et al, 2018;soares et al, 2017). Ademais, consiste em uma fase de articulação, que compreende a exposição de competências, assim como a padronização de processos, no intuito de promover a utilização do sistema (matos et al, 2019).…”

O artigo tem por objetivo analisar as características do campo de estudos relacionado à avaliação de desempenho de recursos humanos no setor público e suas oportunidades de pesquisa. Propõe uma revisão bibliométrica realizada com o auxílio do Knowledge Development Process-Constructivist (ProKnow-C). A análise bibliométrica das variáveis propostas a partir do Portfólio Bibliográfico (PB) aponta como principais achados: (i) a mudança de foco da medição para a gestão de desempenho; (ii) 21% dos trabalhos do PB não utilizaram teorias de base; (iii) destaque para domínio contextual psicológico da avaliação de desempenho; e (iv) foco nos estágios de desenho e implantação do ciclo de vida dos sistemas de avaliação de desempenho (SAD). A pesquisa contribui ao fornecer subsídios aos pesquisadores e gestores públicos sobre as oportunidades de pesquisa e evolução da avaliação de desempenho de recursos humanos no setor público.

“…The implementation of combined strategies of exploration and exploitation is a crucial challenge for universities (Centobelli et al, 2019). The management of these processes requires, in the first place, the use of control elements which has been developed in other activities but have improved the Management Control System (MCS) of universities (Nisio et al, 2018;Peris-Ortiz et al, 2019). However, MCS should be transferred to a university environment and adapted to their management needs.…”

Ambidexterity in entrepreneurial universities and performance measurement systems. A literature review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The main purpose of this research is to analyze the exploration and exploitation of knowledge in universities that support innovation and entrepreneurship in their environment. For this, the Performance Measurement Systems (PMS) of the universities management are analyzed as a proxy for the implementation of the strategic vision of the universities. This study is based on a systematic literature review on the subject, supported by the technical possibilities offered by the MAXQDA (The Art of Data Analysis) program. The databases used were the following: Elsevier (Science Direct), Springer, Wiley and Taylor & Francis. The main findings suggest that organizational ambidexterity, in general, develops unevenly and from different approaches, among which innovation, learning and strategy stand out. However, organizational ambidexterity hardly develops in a university context, where most of the university activities require some knowledge of the technological frontier. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze and understand these two dimensions (exploration and exploitation) and their positive influence on entrepreneurship. In a context where the development of technology and science happens at an ever-increasing speed, a balance between exploration and exploitation is necessary, which should be reflected in the different control mechanisms in academic environments, such as the Performance Measurement Systems (PMS). The analysis of these systems will allow to know the position of the universities in the face of ambidexterity.
