Intellectual property protection activities, support and dissemination of entrepreneurship and technology transfer have gained prominence in recent years due to the rapid advancement of technologies and the possibility of generating relevant social, cultural and economic gains for countries that have agents and structures of well-articulated innovation. In this context, the Technology Transfer Officers (TTOs), established by Law 10.973 of 2004, emerged as essential structures to promote innovation within the scope of Scientific, Technological and Innovation Institutions. From the point of structuring, especially since most have recently been created, NITs of public ICTs still have barriers to be overcome in order to fully fulfill their role as promoters of innovation. Some of these barriers are linked to people management, such as the scarcity of human capital, the presence of employees with no employment relationship and the absence of a career structure created by law within the scope of Public Administration specifically for ICT employees to work in activities finalistics of NITs (notably intellectual property, technology transfer and entrepreneurship). The consequences generated are mainly related to the high turnover of personnel and the loss of institutional memory. Thus, this research aimed, through the analysis of the organizational context (internal standards, fields of action, strategic planning, processes and fundraising) of NITs of public ICTs in all Brazilian regions (North, Northeast, South, Southeast and Midwest) to establish better people management practices in order to favor the performance of managers in order to add engaged specialists with the skills required by the institution.
