A INFLUÊNCIA DAS ÂNCORAS DE CARREIRA NA SATISFAÇÃO NO TRABALHO PARA OS SERVIDORES DO TRIBUNAL DE CONTAS DO ESTADO DO MARANHÃO

Abstract

There is much discussion about state performance, especially about the quality of its servers. Thus, this study aims to identify the main career anchors in a public institution, the Court of Accounts of the State of Maranhão, and relate them to job satisfaction. For this purpose, a descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional research was carried out using a structured questionnaire validated in previous researches. Approaches eight constructs, related to career anchors, as the independent variables, and job satisfaction as the dependent variable. The results indicated that the anchors "safety and stability" and "technical competence" are significant and positively affect job satisfaction, while the anchor "general administrative competence" is inversely proportional to job satisfaction. Such results, in addition to the theoretical contribution to the study of public careers, can contribute to the management policies of people who, through job satisfaction, might deliver better quality services to society.
