Summary: The present research aims to analyze the possibilities for improving the performance
management of Technical-Administrative Education (TAE) public servants in a
probationary period, enabled by digital transformation. To this end, the study
combines a systematic literature review, an analysis of the perceptions of staff at
the Federal University of Espírito Santo (Ufes), and the proposal of practical
strategies to enhance the evaluation process. The literature review resulted in a
portfolio of articles that highlight the relationship between technological innovation
and efficiency in public management. The data collected from Ufes staff members
indicate that, although there is recognition of the potential of digital technologies to
make evaluations fairer and more efficient, structural and cultural barriers still hinder
their full adoption. The recent implementation of the Performance and Management
Program (PGD) has proven to be a concrete opportunity for modernization by
centralizing demands and promoting a results-oriented management approach. The
study concludes that digital transformation can significantly improve the
probationary period, provided it is guided by strategic planning, active involvement
of managers and evaluators, and supported by investments in training and
technological infrastructure. As a result, a technical report was developed,
presenting digital transformation strategies to enhance the performance evaluation
of TAE servants during the probationary period.
