RESUMO:

This research aims at establishing a theoretical model that explains the causal relationship between the elements of organizational behavior, structure, commitment and performance, and its contribution to the formulation of strategies that generate competitive advantage 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 structural equations modeling. 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 part of the study, a total of 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 areas of activity. The instrument adopted in this phase was composed of 24 questions, likert type of 6 points, that seek to measure the six components of organizational structure investigated in the research. In the third part of the research, which investigated 516 valid cases from 10 private organizations and 15 from the public sector, the instrument was composed of 52 questions, likert type of 6 points, being 8 related to the performance theme, 24 organizational structure seeking 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). It was verified that the components of organizational structure influence the commitment of the individuals in order to influence the performance of the organizations, which was validated as the confluence between the added value and the results obtained by the organization. Relationships among the three elements of organizational behavior have been identified that allowed inferences to be made about strategies that can raise the competitive advantage of organizations. 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 for the formulation of competitive advantage strategies, in addition to the other approaches, which are generally focused on aspects related only organizational resources.
