Resumen
This present study aims to identify the critical success factors in corporate distance
education programs, based on the case study of SICREDI, Cooperative Credit System
with more than 10.000 employees and 1.000 units around Brazil. The study
characterizes itself as descriptive-exploratory, due to the no validation of research
instruments to measure the critical success factors in distance education, being mostly
quantitative. Thus, the present study seeked, through the application of Reeves´ model
(1997) and adapted by Joia (2005), to identify the relation of the 10 dimensions
(constructs), defining and characterizing the variables, with the dependent variable
success (goals achievement). The results founded showed 35% of relation with the
factors Motivation Source, Structural Flexibility, Pedagogical Philosophy and Cultural
Sensibility with the dependent variable success (goals achievement). The study is
aligned with Joia and Costa (2005) in the factor Motivation Source and with Joia and
Lima (2007) at the factor Pedagogical Philosophy. Otherwise, the few research
developed till now with the present model show that the projects change in each
company when referring to the factors that lead to success in distance education
initiatives. Therefore, is necessary, by the limitations of case studies (used in all the
researches with the present model), to proceed with multi-cases with a higher number
of organizations and respondents, permitting, then, the theory consolidation about the
critical success factors in corporate distance education programs.
