Requisition of Technical-Administrative Staff: An Analysis of Organizational Impacts and a Proposal for a Contingency Plan within the Scope of UFRN
Staff requisition. QWL. Organizational climate. Organizational impacts. UFRN.
This study aims to present an approach regarding the organizational impacts resulting from the requisition of technical-administrative staff from UFRN by institutions legally entitled to do so, such as the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Regional Electoral Courts. The analysis is guided by the concepts of Quality of Work Life (QWL) and organizational climate among technical staff and managers in departments that experienced such requisitions. The study investigates whether the temporary absence of requisitioned employees significantly disrupts the managerial ecosystem of the affected departments, to the point of causing perceptible harm to QWL and the organizational climate. Furthermore, it seeks to assess the possibility of mitigating these impacts through an innovative strategic plan. Within this context, the research includes a comparative analysis between requisition and other forms of staff movement, such as secondment; a literature review on the impacts of task overload on QWL and organizational climate; statistical analysis of trends and perceptual patterns reported by participants regarding changes in QWL, organizational climate, and workload redistribution policies during requisition periods; interpretation of open-ended responses regarding QWL and organizational climate; and an evaluation of the feasibility of a contingency plan based on the fair and equitable redistribution of potential excess workload among remaining staff. The study also offers reflections and proposals for future research on alternative applications of the expected final product and possible solutions to the identified problem, such as the creation of a legal mechanism for appointing substitute technical-administrative staff. To achieve these objectives, an initial survey will be conducted, with support from the UFRN Office of People Management, to identify departments that experienced staff requisitions over the past five years. This will be followed by data collection through questionnaires to capture the impacts perceived by technical staff and managers directly affected by the absence of the requisitioned employees. Methodologically, the study is classified as qualitative-quantitative in approach; applied in nature; exploratory in objectives; and bibliographic and survey-based in procedures.
