Avaliação de desempenho da sustentabilidade das empresas: um estudo bibliométrico e sistêmico nos anais do ENEGEP

Abstract

From the discussions about sustainability, many studies have been conducted in order to understand the performance of the companies, as well as their actions in the social, economic and environmental context. In this context, the present study analyzes the gaps of the scientific literature on the subject of sustainability performance evaluation in companies, in the ENEGEP annals. Based on qualitative and exploratory research, the study is characterized as bibliometric study according to the Annals of National Meeting of Production Engineering. The data was collected according the model Proknow-C which promoted, among other steps, the selection of research portfolios aligned to the Sustainability Performance Evaluation theme on companies. The study selected a bibliographic portfolio with 22 researches aligned to the research topic. From this point, the bibliometric analysis of the selected bibliographic portfolio quantitatively evidence the scientific production features. Concerning the scientific recognition of the work, it was observed that the papers presented few quotations if compared with other databases. It was noticed great dispersion of authors, the majority (96,8%) with only one publication. The keywords evidenced from the “word cloud” confirm a sustainability research axis on, among others, Management and Environmental. The analysis of contents, on the other hand, evidenced that there are actions being developed by the companies, but limited to the environmental aspect and therefore little on Economic and Social. In addition, this portfolio identified gaps of investigation, and suggested the creation of a research schedule, based on the highlighted gaps, with the intention of encouraging the creation of new studies about the sustainability performance avaluation in companies.
