PERFIL DO GESTOR E DESEMPENHO ECONÔMICO - FINANCEIRO DAS INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO SUPERIOR: O CASO DAS COMUNITÁRIAS BRASILEIRAS PARTICIPANTES DO COMUNG
Abstract
The objective of this article is to analyze the relation of the profile of the manager with the performance of the Brazilian community HEIs participating in COMUNG. The theoretical assumption is that the professional training of the manager of the community universities presents a positive relation with the organizational results and with the management model adopted. The nature of Brazilian community HEIs is a civil society organization, which should be managed by the participative administrative model and based on self - management, distancing itself from the classical model, which is limited in the context of environm ental changes and with major competitors. There have been significant changes in the institutional environment, which impose critical reflections on consolidated practices, without prejudice to academic freedom. This is an exploratory and descriptive resea rch developed with 15 higher education institutions members of the Consortium of Brazilian Community Universities (Comung). The results show that there is a correlation between the profile of one of the managers (Dean) and the performance of external recog nition (awards) in relation to institutional sustainability.
