A INSTITUCIONALIZAÇÃO DO PLANEJAMENTO NA GESTÃO UNIVERSITÁRIA

Abstract

The article aims to identify the actions developed in the process of ins titutional planning at the Federal University of Pará - UFPA and describe the regulatory instructions that triggered this process. This is a study with emphasis on organizational change. It is a qualitative study of exploratory and descriptive and is based on the method of action research using free observation and documentary sources (federal and other internal rules of the University) to build evidence. The content of the documents was analyzed based on the concepts of the process of institutionalization of institutional theory to study organizations. Records of observation served as a complement to description and interpretation of documents. The results demonstrate that concern - planning process -was institutionalized in academic units, but such a phen omenon encountered limits and is still in the stage of preinstitutionalization in other units, since the monitoring system barely existed in general, which compromises the "planning cycle". Concludes that progress has been made on the changes planned and executed and that organizational characteristics have changed, but there was not a more comprehensive organizational change.
