Admission process and staff placement: an IFES’ reality

Abstract

This article analyzes the effectiveness of the used instrument in the moment of the admission interview and its relation with the placement of the servers that occupy the position of Management Assistants, admitted in UFBA’s 2013 public competition. For the fulfillment of the research’s objective, it was applied, by Survey, a questionnaire, based on the Likert scale, composed of five categories. It was also fulfilled documental research and active observation. The results had pointed that, in general, there is a certain degree of satisfaction in all the evaluated dimensions, however a significant number of servers did not consider that the definition of its placement took notice of its professional abilities, although some affirmed that those were correctly identified, strengthening the vision that the admission interview has been carried effectively, but its results are not exploited in the placement process. It is pointed, as the main limitation of this research, the range of the studied population, thus, it is suggested to conduct new researches with the involvement of the high sectors of management (pro-rectors, coordinators/leaders of work teams and heads of administrative and academic units), as well as the improvement of the instruments used in UFBA’s admission process.
