Considering the
gap between production of knowledge in tourism and its transference (mainly by
the socialization educational process, but also via tacit apprenticeship in
workplace and also in general terms, e.g. university – society diffusion of
knowledge), this paper presents a protocol developed by the authors driven to
manage human resources (a critical factor of success) in the Knowledge Production
Systems in Tourism (KPST). For that, we have made a literature review, giving
relevance to the problem of the absence of knowledge production in tourism and
its consequences. Methodologically, the paper focuses on the micro-level of the
systems’ components (human resources), aiming to identify the main regular
characteristics and making a correlation of them with the other members of the
system. These profiles, relationally combined, can offer an analytical
structure of the team, and doing so, we can observe their most prominent and
distinctive factors in a KPST, as well their fragilities. Specifically, it is
presented here the assessment of the professors-researchers’ team performance
aiming to achieve an academic management tool. Our results show: (1) the collective
productivity and their related profile, as well (2) the degree of expertise and
asymmetry in individual productivity of professors-researchers, and (3) the
possible inconsistencies between the expertise of these professionals versus their
performanced areas. In conclusion, two main contributions are advocated: (1)
the preparation of a research protocol itself, which has been translated into
software, and (2) the derived indicators used for the survey of diagnosis, for
monitoring and evaluating the performance academic management.
