This paper aimed to point out the determinants of the effectiveness of Municipal Management in Brazil. It was a quantitative, descriptive research, with secondary data from 2015 to 2017, available at the Rui Barbosa Institute web site – 11 variables correlated with the effectiveness of management. The sample was comprised of Brazilian municipalities. The results were estimated by logistic regression with balanced panel data and interpreted by the odds ratio criterion. The results showed that population size and the mayor’s reelection have a positive and statistically significant relationship to explain the effectiveness of management. On the other hand, the number of candidates for mayors, and disapproved expenses showed a negative and statistically significant relationship to explain the effectiveness. By addressing the effectiveness of municipal management, this article fills a gap in the literature because it brings to the debate the relevance of the evaluation phase of the public management to improve its quality and/or mitigate negative impacts on the population.
