Pregão eletrônico e satisfação do usuário: aplicação de técnicas de mensuração em uma instituição federal de ensino superior

Abstract

Decree No. 5450 of May 31, 2005 has brought an innovation in the process of public procurement, establishing that the procurement of goods and services for common use for the federal level were supposed to be made in the form of an electronic reverse auction in seeking to ensure speedy and transparent process. The so-called Electronic Trading universalized disputes and incited further contests, resulting in the strengthening of the prices war and increasing the difficulty of ensuring the purchases quality and customer satisfaction. In this context, this study aims at identifying the theories of consumer satisfaction to identify from a Brazilian Federal University users the satisfaction and dissatisfaction factors in relation to the goods purchased through this new form of bidding. In order to make possible a robust analytical pattern, a survey has been applied using satisfaction/dissatisfaction factors related statements by adapting them to procurement context. Results have been analyzed in a four steps model which combines the techniques of Simple Satisfaction, Gap Analysis, I / S Model (Importance / Satisfaction) and Multiplicative Approach. Analyses point to the absence of dissatisfaction factors among the respondents and three different levels of satisfaction. At the same time it was observed a lower level where the mostly products dimension factors are located (fails, warrant, durability, resistance, product confidence, cost/benefit, comfort) , a second intermediate stage made out by the suppliers dimension factors (attendance, availability, technical features, ethics, supplier confidence) and, ultimately, a higher level compounded by the processes dimension factors (effectiveness, economy, transparency).
