RESUMO:

This research aims to analyze the relationships between structure, commitment and
organizational performance, identifying how these relationships between constructs of
organizational behavior contribute to the formation of competitive advantage strategies for
organizations. In order to achieve its objectives, the research was divided into three parts: the
first sought to refine EBACO, a model adopted to analyze organizational commitment; the
second, proposed and validated a scale of measurement of the components of the
organizational structure (ECEO), and the last one The purpose of this part was to establish the
relationship between the three elements of organizational behavior (commitment, structure and
performance) aiming at the formation of competitive advantage strategies for organizations. As
for the methodological aspects, this research is eminently confirmatory, adopting as main
research techniques the confirmatory factorial analysis and the modeling of structural equations.
The first one aims to understand latent factors from a set of observable variables, and the
second one by making it possible to analyze a series of dependency relations simultaneously.
As for the sample and the data collection, the first part of the study, which dealt with the
validation of the EBACO, was given, in its confirmatory phase, in 45 organizations - 27 public
and 18 private, totaling 812 valid observations, the adopted instrument was composed of 20
likert-type questions of 6 points, which seek to measure the 5 bases of organizational
commitment. In the second and third part of the study, 966 valid cases were investigated in 26
organizations and their respective organizational units. Being 10 private companies in the area
of commerce, services, education and hospitality and 16 public organizations of different
performances. The instrument adopted in this phase was composed of 52 questions, likert type
of 6 points, 8 related to the performance theme, 24 organizational structure that seek to
measure the six components investigated in the research, and 20 questions of organizational
commitment of the EBACO model, validated in the first part of the study. The results already
analyzed indicated that the refined model, EBACO-R, presented convergent validity,
guaranteeing greater scale adequacy to the theory. The Organizational Structure Component
Scale (ECEO) is valid, as it consistently measures the dimension drawn and has convergent
validity, since it presented significance in the relations between its dimensions, according to the
criteria defined by Pasquali (1997) and Marôco (2010). Finally, it is expected that this work may
contribute to the development of a strategic vision based on the elements of the organization's
behavior to formulate competitive advantage strategies, in addition to the other approaches,
which are generally focused on related aspects organizational resources only.
