Abstract(s)
É comum referenciar o New Public Management (NPM) como o modelo que influencia o
processo de reforma e que determina o desempenho das Universidades Públicas
Portuguesas no prosseguimento da sua missão. O trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o
impacto da aplicação dos princípios do NPM na ação das universidades públicas
portuguesas bem como o impacto produzido pelas medidas de modernização do ensino
superior na atividade docente. O enquadramento teórico conta com a alusão aos
processos de reforma que perpassam as diferentes geografias e aos modelos que as
sustentam, nomeadamente a Governance e o Neo-Weberian, não esquecendo a
contextualização no âmbito do ensino superior e destacando as dimensões críticas para o
funcionamento das universidades. Tendo em mente os objetivos, utilizámos a revisão da
literatura, bibliografia de referência e artigos científicos, consultámos relatórios
institucionais, nacionais e internacionais, elaborámos um questionário, que lançámos,
procedemos à análise dos dados recolhidos. As conclusões do trabalho indicam que,
apesar de as ideias próprias do NPM serem o motor das alterações a que o ensino
superior universitário público tem sido sujeito, as três narrativas influenciam o
desempenho das Universidades Públicas Portuguesas, na sua atividade multinível, com
uma área osmótica de influência recíproca.
New Public Management (NPM) is commonly referred to as the model that influences the reform process and determines the performance of Portugal’s Public Universities as they variously pursue their mission. The present study aims to analyse the impact of the principles of NPM on Portugal’s public universities as well as the impact caused on teaching by higher education modernisation measures. The study’s theoretical framework covers the reform processes pervading the various geographies at work and the models that support them – notably the Governance and Neo-Weberian model –, while also contextualising them in terms of higher education and highlighting those aspects deemed critical for the functioning of universities. With the defined goals in mind, a literature review is offered, in combination with the relevant bibliography and the consultation of scholarly articles and institutional reports, both national and international. A questionnaire has also been developed, as well as an analysis of the collected data. The conclusions show that although the notions inherent in NPM are what drives the changes felt in university-related public higher education, all three narratives, and the osmotic area of reciprocal influence generated by them, end up influencing the multilevel performance of Portugal’s Public Universities.
