A escala foi desenvolvida com base em pesquisas anteriores e nos estudos de Odelius e Sena (2009) e Odelius et al. (2011). Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas, que submetidas à análise de conteúdo, subsidiaram a elaboração de questionário. Este, após ser submetido à análise semântica e teórica, foi testado e depois respondido por 396 participantes de grupos de pesquisa. A análise fatorial policórica revelou o agrupamento das competências em quatro fatores (abertura à diversidade humana, habilidades sociais, cooperação, responsabilidade), responsáveis por 55% da variância total explicada, com índice de confiabilidade α = 0,96. Os resultados são parcialmente semelhantes aos realizados em outros contextos. Ao final, são apontadas direções para realização de novas pesquisas.

The innovation is the introduction of a new management model based on strategic planning and a process management approach to work processes. Introduction of the new model has been supported by the use of information technology and project management techniques. Qualitative methods were used for data collection and analysis. Findings reveal that the innovation is contributing to the development of a systemic overview of key processes, reducing the fragmenting effects of the division of work activities within the Tribunal. At least three new organizational routines or capabilities have been developed as a result of the innovation studied: Electronic Court Management, Project Management, and Process Management. The paper contributes to knowledge about court management, a field that has received little research attention in the public administration literature.

The research was designed according to a social network approach and the data collection was undertaken between February and July of 2007 and included the coordinators of the 58 programs that were operating at that time, to whom a link to an electronic questionnaire was e-mailed. Thirty two (55%) of these coordinators completed the questionnaire, providing information on the relationships between their programs and the other 57 programs in the following activities: joint research, shared scientific production, promotion of scientific events, shared courses, academic staff exchanges, graduate student exchanges and participation in examination boards for dissertations and theses. The programs' attributes were obtained from the websites of each program and CAPES. The main results showed: (1) a low density network with mostly weak relationships between programs, (2) a network structure defined by geographical location and research area, with the better connected networks in the areas of Organization and Organizational Behaviour and Strategy; and (3) a network in which UFRGS is the most central program and the FGV/SP, USP/SP, UFRGS and FGV/RJ are the most prestigious.
