RESUMO:

Promoting people engagement in their professional activities is one of the biggest challenges facing organizations, especially in government entities, considering the system of legal restrictions that bind public administration. The engagement construct is designed in a trifatorial manner, involving the states of "vigor", "dedication" and "absorption" (Schaufeli, Bakker et al., 2002). The job demands-resources model (JD-R) theorizes how this phenomenon occurs in organizations through inherent job characteristics that involve "resources" – factors that facilitate engagement – and "demands" – factors which may hinder engagement. Considering the importance of the commitment to the achievement of the organizational objectives, the dynamics of the engagement of a project team, conceived to operationalize a Science Park, linked to a federal public institution of higher education, was analyzed. Following the steps of the methodology called System Dynamics, based on Sterman (2000), we investigated the activities performed and completed in the project to verify the performance of the team throughout the life cycle. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with members and managers to check, from a descriptive angle, which factors were involved with the engagement construct in a dynamic perspective. The interviews were transcribed and coded, in light of the JD-R model, resulting in a causal diagram with the basic structure of feedacks, representing the dynamics related to this phenomenon. The data suggest that engagement is linked to causal links of growth credited to recognition for team work and the implementation of project management practices that promote group cohesion among members. In addition, engagement suffers equilibrium linkages related to the difficulty of reconciling project demands with daily assignments, lack of support from immediate leadership, and the emergence of impediments during the execution of activities. Other links, close to engagement, but not directly related to the phenomenon, seem to be related to the speed of resolution of the impediments of deliveries and the pressure of time. Considering the presence of equilibrium links, improvement measures were presented for the results found, through the proposition of policies and tools that can diagnose and leverage the engagement of the project teams.
