The perception of public servants about the practice of the principles LIMPE: a study at the University of Brasilia

The aim of this paper is to seek evidence on the perception of public servants of the University of Brasilia regarding the practice of explicit constitutional principles of public administration in the caput of article 37 of the Federal Constitution. Some indicators were proposed to assess self-perception and perception about the practice of principles in the workplace and 893 research questionnaires were applied to the University's staff. The results suggest that the self-perception of to fulfillment is always greater than the perception of such principles in the respondent's work environment. Characteristics such as age and time work in the institution do not seem to interfere with the perception of the practice of the principles. On the other hand, characteristics such as gender, position and the fact of performing a management function are related to a greater or lesser perception of practice of the principles. The results of this work can contribute to institutional self-criticism and to the adoption of measures that improve the observance of such principles.
