Resumo(s)
The diversity of port governance models in the world, sometimes even
within the same country, has aroused the interest of researchers. This study
is based on contingency theory to support the port governance model. The
purpose is to understand the port governance model and the relation with
port performance. There are three objectives: to analyze the port governance
mechanisms; to analyze the port performance factors; and to understand
the influence of the governance model mechanisms on port
performance. A factorial analysis was used to determine the main components,
and the methodology of the structural equation model was used to
analyze a survey sample of 105 valid responses from specialists and managers
of port user’s companies that operate in the main Portuguese ports.
This study demonstrates that port governancemodel influences directly the
port performance. The main contribution of this paper to the literature is
providing a set of factors that public managers may decide when changing
the characteristics of the port governance models to ensure their performance.
It was also observed the approximation of the port expert vision of
port governance with models described in literature.
