(Dis)Integration between the admission subsystems into public service: Analysis of a career in the management cycle

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the (dis)integration of the management of admission into public service in Brazil, from the analysis of one specific career in the management cycle – in this case, Public Policy Specialist of the São Paulo State Government (EPP-SP). The qualitative approach embraced the case study method, triangulating the collection of data from a list of documents with the information of semi-structured interviews conducted with multiple stakeholders. As a result, the article describes and analyzes some evidence of the (is)integration among human resources management subsystems related to the EPP-SP career admission. On the one hand, the fragmentation between planning of the career workforce and the performance evaluation at the probationary stage was identified, as well as between the specific training coupled with the public tender and the allocation of professionals in the public administration; and, on the other hand, regarding the alignment, the relationship between career description (organization, functions and assignments) and the selection process of the candidates was identified.
