Index of internal effort: A robust indicator for the public service
Abstract
This article discusses advances in the development of the Index of Internal Effort (IIE), a framework specifically designed to quantify Explicit Intellectual Activities (EIA) performed by public servants. The aim is to highlight the progress made and to demonstrate that by using solid philosophical principles in conjunction with robust mathematical structures, it is feasible to create an automated evaluation system for the results generated by the EIAs carried out by the public servants. The IIE is applicable on different scales, from specific sectors to large-scale, as exemplified by the data available on the Lattes platform for curriculum. To illustrate the technique's versatility, three distinct proofs of concept (PoC) are presented: the quantification of programming codes on the Arduino platform, the quantification of intellectual property patents in an international context, and the quantification of the complexity of electronic games, focusing on the Real Time Strategy (RTS) genre. The results obtained reveal that the IIE framework, with its complexity quantification function (IIEa), is significantly correlated with the specific techniques tested in the PoCs, making IIEa a viable option for online evaluation of EIAs. Due to its robust structure, focusing on evaluating complexity and effort employed in EIAs, IIEa can be widely used to automate performance evaluation systems. During the tests conducted, no case was identified that refuted the premise of using IIEa.
