SUMMARY:

Drawing on the literature concerning the contingency theory, maturity models, enterprise
risk management and the fuzzy set theory, this thesis proposes a new maturity model to
assess risk management (RM) implementation in Brazilian public organisations. In this
sense, three main studies are presented. The first one explores RM implementation in
Brazil through the support of government policymakers in 6 Brazilian states. Qualitative
content analysis provides evidence that the policymakers employ strategies to approach
public organisations with the aim to operationalise RM as contingent variables are
perceived. These strategies are expected to attenuate the difficulties in progressing RM
maturity due to some generally weak support from public top managers. The second study
investigates which attributes and contingent factors are crucial to develop a public sector
RM maturity model. Accordingly, a path of multivariate statistical techniques (CATPCA,
K-modes, and multinomial logistic regression analysis) was used to analyse the data
collected from 330 survey responses. Results reveal that 12 statistically significant
variables explain 5 different levels of public sector RM maturity. The third study is a
complement to the second one and proposes the PRisk-MM, a public sector RM maturity
model that contains 5 levels of maturity and 23 maturity attributes related to 15
dimensions. The model was elaborated following the scientific rigour found in the
literature on maturity models, being divided into 2 main phases: the development of the
model and its validation in 3 public organisations of one state government. The
assessment procedure of the model uses triangular fuzzy numbers to better treat the
subjectivity and ambiguity of human judgement when analysing maturity dimensions and
their attributes. This thesis has important practical implications as it demonstrates that
RM is not always easily implemented in the public context, and higher levels of RM
maturity are difficult to achieve. Therefore, the PRisk-MM was developed as a
government tool that policymakers can use to assess the public organisations’ maturity
status and compare their performance in implementing RM. Moreover, the PRisk-MM is
adaptive to governments’ contexts and, once applied, presents prescriptions on what
organisations must do to develop their RM practices.
