Avaliação de fatores críticos de sucesso e de critérios de sucesso no contexto do gerenciamento de projetos do programa de modernização fazendária do Estado de São Paulo

Abstract

Using a quantitative exploratory analysis this study evaluated the existence of critical success factors and the relevance levels of success criteria in the context of project management according to the perception of the leaders and team members involved in the execution of the project: The Strengthening of the Fiscal Management Program of The State of São Paulo - PROFFIS, being implemented by the São Paulo State Department of Taxation and Finance - SEFAZ. This study also classified the project critical success factors in order of importance for public organization in the opinion of these respondents. The literature on project management considers the critical factors success and the success criteria as extremely important aspects and therefore these can exert decisive influence on the successful implementation of projects within an organization. Based on the survey sources, twenty one critical success factors were chosen as vital and fifteen success criteria were selected as relevant in the current context of project management. These factors helped the definition of the survey questionnaire. The analysis of the presence of these critical success factors can lead to the establishment of a number of parameters and indicators for the appropriate management of projects, providing management, technical and structural actions and measures to achieve the expected performance, according to the most relevant success criteria for the projects of the organization. The data was collected in the context of public organizations associated with PROFFIS in the State of São Paulo and was submitted to the following analyses: statistical, frequency, factorial, discriminating, trends and classificatory. The factorial analysis validated the research instrument and reduced the variables to three constructs that, for the purpose of the critical success factors, will be called: knowledge and management skills, technical skill and competence and organizational and institutional support. For the success criteria, these constructs will be named: operations and product, satisfaction and management and promotion and efficiency. In analyzing the results, it could be observed that the most important critical success factors and the ones that are most present are those predominantly related to technical skill and competence and that the most relevant success criteria are all related to operation and product. Based on these results, in theory, the conclusion can be drawn that, according to the data collected, the organizations studied, in this context, give a marked emphasis to the Critical Success Factors and to the Success Criteria that are strongly associated with the success of the project product in detriment of those associated with the success of project management.
