Como fazer a semana de quatro dias funcionar
(2025) Domingos, Fernando D.; Gomes, Pedro
Objetivo: analisar os impactos da implementação da semana de quatro dias no Brasil, considerando a influência dos contratos relacionais e transacionais na adoção desse modelo.
Estado da arte: a redução da jornada de trabalho tem sido debatida globalmente, com evidências de benefícios para o bem-estar dos trabalhadores, mas também há desafios relacionados à produtividade e sustentabilidade organizacional.
Escopo: foi realizada pesquisa mista baseada em um piloto com dezenove empresas brasileiras, combinando questionários quantitativos com funcionários e entrevistas qualitativas com líderes empresariais.
Originalidade: o estudo conecta a teoria dos contratos relacionais à adoção de novos arranjos de trabalho, destacando o papel de uma governança baseada em confiança, cooperação e objetivos compartilhados na viabilidade da semana de quatro dias.
Impactos: os achados indicam que empresas com contratos relacionais registraram maior engajamento e bem-estar dos funcionários sem perda de produtividade, e forneceram insights para organizações e formuladores de políticas.
The interplay of discretion and complexity in public contracting and renegotiations
(2025) Domingos, Fernando Deodato; Heinrich, Carolyn J.; Saussier, Stéphane; Shiva, Mehdi
This article investigates how the use of discretion in public–private contracts interplays with transactional complexity in influencing contract renegotiations. Motivations for contract renegotiations may be positive, negative (e.g., opportunistic), or neutral, and we argue that allowing discretion at the award stage may promote a more relational approach to contracting that fosters cooperation and productive adaptation. Using a dataset of 12,189 renegotiated contracts from the Tenders Electronic Daily eProcurement platform—based on European Union public procurement directives—we apply regression analyses and propensity score matching to examine how contracts are awarded and renegotiated. Our findings suggest that contracts awarded with government discretion are associated with renegotiations that are viewed more positively and less likely to be perceived as opportunistic. However, this beneficial role for discretion appears to be mitigated by contract transactional complexity, making this a critical consideration in efforts to improve the governance of provider relationships and increase public value. By integrating insights from incomplete and relational contracting theories, this study contributes to the public administration and management literature by demonstrating how discretion and complexity jointly shape contract renegotiation dynamics, informing governance strategies that balance flexibility and accountability in public procurement.
Promotion at re-entry: gender-contingent configurations in boomerang careers
(2025) Ferreira, Paul; Domingos, Fernando Deodato; Ito, Nobuiuki
Boomerang moves – leaving and later rejoining a former employer – are increasingly common, yet we know little about which combinations of conditions are associated with promotion at re-entry, or whether those combinations differ by gender. Studying Brazilian professionals who returned to prior employers (N = 147), we use a configurational (fsQCA) approach to examine how two forms of prior organizational engagement – maintaining ties with former colleagues and staying informed about the organization’s development – combine with initial tenure and time away to relate to advancement upon return. We find one robust route in the pooled sample: an engagement bundle – maintained ties plus current organizational awareness – sufficient for promotion, with neither long prior tenure nor a long separation required. Gender-segmented analyses qualify this pattern. For men, the engagement bundle frequently suffices on its own. For women, higher-prevalence successful profiles pair the engagement bundle with longer prior tenure and – under stricter screens – a longer time away. A tenure-plus-awareness variant without maintained ties appears only at low prevalence and is concentrated among men. The study contributes an individual-level, configurational account of boomerang careers and shows that advancement at return is read through bundles rather than single indicators. We translate these profiles into implications by aligning individual signalling with organizational routines across the separation–return lifecycle.
Herbert Simon's Legacy for Public Administration
(2025) Gomes, Ricardo C.; Domingos, Fernando D.
Herbert Simon's pioneering developments on bounded rationality and artificial intelligence (AI) have had a profound and lasting impact on public administration. This paper systematically examines Simon's legacy, exploring how his concepts have shaped scholarship in three core areas: decision-making, human performance, and organizational knowledge. By connecting Simon's insights into contemporary advancements in AI, we highlight several avenues for further research. We uncover opportunities to enhance administrative processes while addressing pressing ethical and operational challenges, such as designing adaptive frameworks that balance innovation with accountability in public administration. Simon's work continues to offer essential guidance for navigating the complexities of governance in the digital age.
