Summary: The proper use of public resources is a recurring theme in debates about the quality
and efficiency of Public Administration. Thus, with regard to the Federal Institutions
of Higher Education, this issue has gained great importance over time in a context of
increasing cuts in the public education budget. In order to optimize the use of an
increasingly smaller budget, the managers of these institutions must be able to take
on the decision-making task regarding the use of resources, with emphasis on the
way in which this amount is allocated internally in each of them. One of the ways to
help this process is the adoption of decision aid tools. Therefore, the objective of this
study is to propose an approach that helps managers to find alternatives that
contribute to an effective allocation of resources in Brazilian Federal Universities.
From the theoretical review of institutional documents and scientific production on the
allocation of resources in academic units at Brazilian Federal Universities, it was
possible to raise criteria and alternatives that can be used by managers to
systematize the allocation of budgetary resources. Then, a survey was applied with
servers and students of the researched unit to define the most relevant factors within
this context. With these data collected, it was submitted to the Analytic Hierarchy
Process (AHP) multi-criteria method, which allowed an analytical treatment and
interpretation of these data, so that the criteria and alternatives are quantified through
the judgment of the survey respondents. The results showed prioritization of the
criterion related to the costs of the academic units, as well as the use of an indicator
that includes several criteria and sub-criteria listed With the results of the research, it
is sought to develop a Technical Product, aimed at indicating criteria and indicators
that will help universities in adapting their budget distribution models to academic
units.
