Capacidades administrativas municipais: desempenho e desenvolvimento dos municípios goianos

Abstract

The decentralization of public administration to local governments dictated by the Constitution of 88 gave greater administrative autonomy to municipalities, thereby increasing their responsibility for providing services to the population. As a result, there was an increase in the volume of resources to be managed locally, which, however, was not matched at the same speed by the capacity of municipal governments to manage them. In this sense, the present study aimed to demonstrate the repercussions of administ rative capacities on the performance and development of the municipalities of Goiás. We adopted the descriptive, cross-sectional and documentary research for the development of this study. For data analysis, we used procedures and techniques that make up descriptive statistics, which allowed the analysis and interpretation of data from pre-established categories, created based on the theoretical foundation. There was a positive relationship between municipal size and administrative capacity, since larger municipalities work with less revenue, with fewer staff, but are able to deliver better results regarding municipal and human development.
