RESUMO

The aim of this thesis is to identify the effect of management styles on their economic results, focusing on the participation level of the managers on the decision making process. The study was based on Rensis Likert (1975;1979) management style evaluation method. The first step of the research was a questionnaire sent by email with a set of closed ranked questions using the Likert scale. 111 controllers of the firm posted at the Valor 1.000 publication from 2000 to 2004 returned the questionnaire. The data analysis used a number of complementary methods. First, Principal Component Analysis was used to group que organizational characteristics questions. Five factors were estimated, classified as leadership, motivation, communication and cooperation, decision-making, goals and directives. Second, cluster analysis was used to classify the firms according to their management styles. Among the surveyed firms, 45,95% were classified as direct participation, with occasional punishments; 29,73%, had a consultative with occasional punishment management style; 7,21% classified as consultative with occasional punishment and strategic planning; 9,01% as consultative with no punishment and little management incentives; and 8,11% with an authoritarian-benevolent management style. ANOVA tests results led to the conclusion that firms with participatory and consultative with occasional punishments management styles obtained larger net margins on average (29,59% and 31,14% respectively). On the other hand, firms with consultative with no punishment and little management incentives have a 37,78% lower average net margin. The other management styles had statistically zero average net margins. The ANOVA tests did not uncover any significant influence of the effect of the management style on net profits. A rationale for the result is that there may be other relevant factors that influence net profits
