Resumo

Purpose – The main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that guide the transition of public lawyers to a management position and identify the ideal arrangement of these factors in order to create a multiple incentives system to attract and hold capable agents to management area in the public sector. Design/Methodology – To achieve the purpose of this study, a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches was chosen. The first step consisted in using the content analysis (AC), whose data were collected by interviews. In the second step, a quantitative approach, a conjoint analysis (CA) was applied and the data was obtained through a survey. This combination of approaches was chosen because of the nature of the object of the study and the complementarity of the approaches, allowing the integration of the results and a better understanding of the studied object. Findings – The data analysis using the qualitative approach showed that a series of intrinsic and extrinsic factors stimulates the career transition to a management area, as the nature of the activity, flexibility of the job, organizational support, training and financial incentive. By using the quantitative approach it was possible to know the importance of each one of these factors – in these phase considered as attributes – leading to Know the ideal arrangement to compose a system of multiple incentives, which the most relevant are: influencing the direction of the organization and participating in decision-making processes, as well as the possibility of acting in management positions remotely. Some variations in the incentive arrangement were also identified in order to subsidize public organizations in creating a system of multiple incentives according to the organizational context and strategy. Limitations – The limitations of this research refer to the number of interviews carried out in the qualitative phase; the number of attributes that were tested in the quantitative method; as well as the differences that may exist between the choices made in real situations and the choices made in a conjoint analysis because here the situations put on trial are hypothetical. Furthermore, the fact that the study was carried out in only one organization may restrict the possibility of replicating it in similar organizations. Practical implications – From a practical perspective, this research contributed to the transposition of the theory to the organizational reality, suggesting innovations to the incentive policy of the Procuradoria-Geral da Fazenda Nacional (PGFN), locus of this research, and to others related public organizations. Social implications – An effective system of multiple incentives can attract not only a larger number of agents, but more qualified agents as well, who acting professionally in public management, will contribute to improve the response of public organizations to society. Originality – This research addresses aspects little explored in the public sector, such as the multiplicity and motivational dynamics of incentives, as well as investigates the career transition from an unusual point of view: the transition seen through the prism of entering the management area, while the majority of the literature focuses on the dynamics of leaving a certain area. Therefore, this study adds empirical support to the theory of incentives and the literature on career transition.
