Resumo: Abstract The paper examined the extent to which Human Resource Management (HRM) contributes to the performance of small Brazilian hospitals from an efficiency perspective. The literature review addressed efficiency to assess hospital performance by measuring the contribution of Human Resources (HR) in health and industrial organizations. The methodological pathway used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) on a sample of 702 hospitals from secondary data from census surveys with 2777 small hospitals. The central hypothesis of the study, that GRH contributes to the efficiency of hospitals, was confirmed by the results considering that this was the variable with the greatest need for improvement in the efficiency of small hospitals. Other variables were also relevant in the context of hospital efficiency, such as the influence of peculiarities regarding size (number of beds), legal nature of institutions and regional distribution. Key Words: hospital performance, human resource management, efficiency and health. JEL Codes: I1, I10

JEL Codes: I1, I10Resumo Este artigo verificou em que medida a Gestão de Recursos Humanos (GRH) contribui para o desempenho de hospitais de pequeno porte brasileiros na perspectiva da eficiência. A revisão de literatura tratou da eficiência para avaliar o desempenho hospitalar mensurando a contribuição de Recursos Humanos (RH) em organizações industriais e de saúde. O percurso metodológico utilizou Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA) numa amostra de 702 hospitais a partir de dados secundários oriundos de levantamento censitário com 2.777 hospitais de pequeno porte. A hipótese central do estudo, de que a GRH contribui para a eficiência de hospitais, foi confirmada pelos resultados, considerando que essa foi a variável com maior necessidade de incremento para melhoria da eficiência dos hospitais de pequeno porte. Outras variáveis também mostraram-se relevantes no contexto da eficiência hospitalar, tais como a influência das particularidades quanto ao porte (número de leitos), a natureza jurídica das instituições e a distribuição regional. Palavras-chave: desempenho hospitalar, gestão de recursos humanos, eficiência, saúde.
