Abstract

Several factors related to social, political, environmental and economic transformations, in addition to technological advances and speed of information, reinforce the need for training and qualification of workers in the public and private spheres, aiming to prepare for possible changing scenarios in the world of work. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic by Health organization on March 11, 2020 magnifies this scenario of changes and challenges to be faced. In this context and due to the scarcity of studies evaluating the public servants of the teaching career in addition to those who evaluate their practices dedicated to students, this study aims to verify the predictive power of individual learning of competences (AI) and organizational support for learning (SOA) and the transfer of learning (SOT) in the engagement with work (ET) of the IFNMG professors, evaluating the underlying relationships between constructs in the context of Public Administration. In this dissertation, answers are sought to the following question: what is the predictive power of individual learning of competences and organizational supports for learning and the transfer of learning in the engagement with work? The specific context of practice is the IFNMG. This is a study ex post-facto, with a transversal cohort and exploratory inferential character, within an approach quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. The subjects of this study are servants. IFNMG staff of the teaching career. Thematic document analysis provides the elements for characterize the organization, as well as its regulatory frameworks. For data collection Four scales are used, which already show validation evidence in companies and educational institutions in Brazil. Correlation analyzes between variables together with the test of hypotheses show that learning in Teaching, Research, Extension, Management and General competences influence each other, which highlights the importance of fostering acquisition of learning, the effect of which can occur in a chain.It appears that in the perception of teachers, there has been in the last two years the acquisition or improvement of skills related to teaching and General Skills compared to skills related to Research, Extension and Management. It is also verified that both the acquisition of Management Skills and the acquisition of General competences regarding organizational support for learning and transfer of learning have an effect on the engagement of teachers with work. It is noted that the teachers perceive the existence of SOA in a medium degree of intensity and SOT in a degree of intensity of low to medium. On the other hand, following the rules of interpretation of the instruments used, the ET level was indicated with a tendency to be considered good (M=4.56). It identifies itself, through the multiple linear regression, that the acquisition of general skills by teachers and perception that the institution supports the transfer or application in the work of these competences exert predictive power in the engagement of teachers with work.
