ABSTRACT

This thesis develops and validates a management framework for stricto sensu graduate programs, using the Graduate Program in Regional Development and Environment (PGDRA) at the Federal University of Rondônia (UNIR) as a case study. The research investigates the organizational support perceived by the program's managers, articulating technical, structural, and emotional dimensions, and its correspondence with the institutional requirements of CAPES (Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education) and the specificities of the Amazonian context. Grounded in Institutional Theory, the analysis considers the multiple coercive, normative, and mimetic pressures that shape public university management, as well as the academic, bureaucratic, political, and social institutional logics that permeate the coordinators' actions. Using a single instrumental case study and qualitative thematic analysis with data triangulation, the research identifies gaps, best practices, and challenges in the management of the PGDRA, proposing guidelines to improve organizational support and the sustainability of programs in the region. The resulting framework contributes to the understanding of institutional dynamics and to the development of public policies that promote the quality and relevance of postgraduate studies in the Amazon.

Keywords: Public policy; Perceived Organizational Support; Institutional Theory; and Postgraduate Management.
