The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of using public resources and training for the sustainable development of Brazilian municipalities. To reach this objective, the data from 5569 municipalities in 2017 were analyzed. The data were collected in the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) census and analyzed using structural equation modeling with PLS (Partial Least Squares). PLS is a structural equation modeling method that enables you to work with complex models on more than one level of latent variables. The results show that municipal resources have a positive impact on sustainable development. This means that the municipalities whose permanent employees socially participate in forums and workplace environment committees, which have specific financial resources for sustainability, present better economic and social performance. Such social participation also has positive effects on environmental performance in these municipalities. The study also showed that the training of government employees is fundamental for the implementation of environmental management programs and for improving the social performance of Brazilian municipalities.
本研究旨在分析利用公共资源和培训对巴西市政可持续发展的影响。为了实现这一目标，分析了 2017 年 5569 个城市的数据。这些数据是从巴西地理与统计研究所（IBGE）的普查中收集的，并使用偏最小二乘法（PLS）进行结构方程建模分析。PLS 是一种结构方程建模方法，允许您在多个潜在变量层次上处理复杂模型。结果表明，市政资源对可持续发展有积极影响。这意味着那些拥有特定可持续发展财务资源的市政，其永久员工在论坛和工作场所环境委员会中进行社会参与，以及具有更好的经济和社会表现。这种社会参与对这些城市的环境绩效也有积极影响。该研究还表明，对政府员工的培训对于实施环境管理计划和提高巴西市政的社会绩效至关重要。
