A relação entre o engajamento dos stakeholders e o desempenho das escolas públicas brasileiras

Abstract

This study investigated the relation between the performance of Brazilian public schools and the engagement of their stakeholders, that is, their students, parents of students, teachers, employees and communities. The regressions considered the engagement of each stakeholder individually and the number of engaged stakeholders as engagement measures, and were carried out in short and long-term horizons, with data from the Prova Brasil and the Brazilian Education Development Index (Ideb) of 2011 to 2017, both provided by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep), an autarchy linked to the Ministry of Education of Brazil. The results suggest that there is an association between stakeholder engagement and school performance, and this relationship is stronger when there are more stakeholders engaged and on a long-term horizon. Contributions to the Stakeholder Theory and the implications for the management policies and practices of Brazilian public schools are discussed.
