SUMMARY:

This study was supported in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brasil (CAPES) – Finance Code 001." It can be seen that in recent years, efficiency has been a relevant topic for public management. As a result, the literature has been devoted to more and more studies on the context of governments' capacities to promote the delivery of services with quality and efficiency. In this, the concepts of Public Governance and Governability are widely explored in the literature, and from which the concepts of Capabilities arise as a set of attributes of public governance. In this sense, this research has as general objective to establish a Model of Governmental Capabilities from the perception of the servants of the State of Rio Grande do Norte. In methodological terms, it is a research of a quantitative nature with the application of a survey. Data collection was carried out through a structured questionnaire applied to a sample of 150 public servants in the state of RN. Data were statistically treated by applying multivariate techniques, more specifically Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. Therefore, an Exploratory Factor Analysis - EFA was implemented, with the fundamental objective of verifying whether the model describes the characteristics of the data well. The AFE allowed the extraction of 6 factors from the instruments of government capacities, which represent their dimensions. Such dimensions manage to capture 76.9% of the variance present in the data, representing ample commonality between the variables observed, ensuring ample capacity for representing the model. From the Confirmatory Factor Analysis - AFC, it was possible to understand which indicators have the greatest impact in each dimension from the sample's perception. At this point, we highlight the Relationship and articulation with other State entities, which is presented as an indicator of greater impact (standardized coefficients = 0.906), which implies in 82.08% of the variance of the variable being explained by the latent characteristic of "Political Capacity ", for example. It is noteworthy that the Model proposed here has good adherence to empirical evidence and, therefore, can be used as a representation of an explanatory theory of the determining factors of Government Capabilities in the scope of Public Management, especially regarding the aspects necessary for the delivery of public services with quality and efficiency. It is concluded, therefore, that the Government Capabilities of a federated entity can be represented as a set of 6 associated dimensions that allow public management to act effectively on territorial development.
