Abstract

The Constitutional Amendment number 19 (1998) sought to modernize the public machine through the introduction of techniques, goals and managerial approaches developed by the Administration Science and typically used at the private sphere. In this perspective, the concern for concrete results, the search for efficiency, the rationalization in the use of available resources and the use of management techniques, among them, the evaluation of state employee’s performance. Directly linked to productivity and economics, this tool faced practical and legal challenges to be implemented. The need to measure and stimulate administrative efficiency led to the creation of evaluation criteria, which began to be used as a parameter to define employee gratification. This article aims to unveil, understand and describe, from a legal perspective, this performance evaluation tool and its use as a parameter that defines the federal employee’s remuneration. It is intended to understand the regulatory model and limits to identify sensitive points that require reflection and in-depth analysis.
