Description
Summary:This paper investigates whether the training offered to civil servants improve their performance in the fulfillment of their duties.Therefore, we chose as source of study a public institution of education, whose expansion process of its units, between 2008 and 2010, resulted in increased staff and in the creation of compulsory training for all new servers - institutional establishing. Using a quasi-experiment, we estimated the effect of training on the performance of individual servers that participated in the training, controlling for changes in the performance of untrained servers as well as other heterogeneous characteristics. The results suggest that training has no impact on the individual performance of public servants, supporting the hypothesis that in the absence of incentive mechanism, the training has no impact on individual performance.This paper investigates whether the training offered to civil servants improve their performance in the fulfillment of their duties.Therefore, we chose as source of study a public institution of education, whose expansion process of its units, between 2008 and 2010, resulted in increased staff and in the creation of compulsory training for all new servers - institutional establishing.
