Resumo: This study aimed to identify the justifications presented by managers operating at the state level in Brazil for irregularities observed in the execution of federal resources destined to combat Aedes aegypti. According to the attribution theory, individuals allocate causes perceived for events based on their knowledge, beliefs, and personal motivations. The theory was used to analyze 27 reports on the inspections carried out within the scope of the Inspection Program in Federative Entities (IPFE) during 2016 in the 26 Brazilian states and the federal district. The attribution theory was adopted to analyze 27 reports on the inspections carried out within the scope of the Inspection Program in Federative Entities (IPFE) during 2016 in the 26 Brazilian states and the federal district. The reports were examined through content analysis, descriptive statistics, and the Mann-Whitney test. The results showed the frequent occurrence of irregularities classified in the categories performance, infrastructure, and public procurement and contracts. Furthermore, regardless of the type of irregularity observed, the state managers’ justification tends to point to external causes, especially if the irregularity is associated with corruption. This behavior occurs regardless of the state managers’ performance. These results indicate that managers’ self-serving bias concerning irregularities can be a challenge to achieve the objectives of the Aedes aegypti mosquito control program since internal factors affecting the program’s outcomes are not highlighted.

Con base en la teoría de la atribución, que postula que los individuos indican las causas percibidas de los eventos en función de su información, sus creencias y sus motivaciones personales, se analizaron 27 informes sobre las inspecciones realizadas durante 2016 en los 26 estados y el Distrito Federal dentro del alcance del Programa de Inspección de Entidades Federales (PFEF). Los informes fueron interpretados mediante análisis de contenido, estadísticas descriptivas y el test de Mann-Whitney. En general, los resultados indicaron que la ocurrencia de irregularidades clasificadas en las categorías “Rendimiento”, “Infraestructura” y “Licitaciones y contratos” era frecuente. Además, se observó que, independientemente del tipo de irregularidad observada, la justificación de los gestores estatales para eventos negativos tiende a basarse en causas externas, especialmente si el acto irregular está asociado a una posibilidad de corrupción. Esta tendencia de comportamiento se da independientemente del nivel de desempeño de los administradores estatales. Estos resultados indican que el sesgo egoísta de los gestores en relación a sus irregularidades puede ser un desafío para lograr los objetivos del programa de control del mosquito Aedes aegypti, ya que tienden a no resaltar los factores internos que afectan sus resultados.Identificar as justificativas apresentadas pelos gestores estaduais e do Distrito Federal para as irregularidades observadas na utilização dos recursos federais destinados ao combate do Aedes aegypti. Tendo por base a Teoria da Atribuição, que postula que os indivíduos indicam causas percebidas para os eventos com base em suas informações, suas crenças e suas motivações pessoais, foram analisados 27 relatórios referentes às fiscalizações realizadas durante 2016 nos 26 estados e no Distrito Federal no âmbito do Programa de Fiscalização em Entes Federativos (PFEF). A interpretação dos relatórios foi realizada por meio da análise de conteúdo, de estatísticas descritivas e do teste de Mann-Whitney. De modo geral, os resultados indicaram que a ocorrência de irregularidades classificadas nas categorias “Desempenho”, “Infraestrutura” e “Licitações e Contratos” foram frequentes. Ademais, observou-se que, independentemente do tipo de irregularidade observado, a justificativa dos gestores estaduais para eventos negativos tende a ser pautada em causas externas, principalmente se o ato irregular for associado a uma possibilidade de corrupção. Essa tendência de comportamento ocorre independentemente do nível de desempenho dos gestores estaduais. Os resultados indicam que o viés autosservidor dos gestores em relação às suas irregularidades pode constituir um desafio à consecução dos objetivos do programa de combate ao mosquito Aedes aegypti, pois estes tendem a não destacar os fatores internos que afetam seus resultados.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2021-08-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8336310.1590/1679-395120200067Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 19 No. 3 (2021); 408-426Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 19 Núm. 3 (2021); 408-426Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 19 n. 3 (2021); 408-4261679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/83363/79128https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/83363/79129Rodrigues, Daniele SilvaCruz, Felipe RodriguesCunha, Jacqueline Veneroso Alves daBarbosa Neto, João Estevãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-08-12T22:43:52Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/83363Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:21.323549Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
