Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

Problematizing the historical institutionalism tools, this paper aims to understand the changes in the Brazilian oil sector rules. Thus, it analyzes the process that originated the 1997 Oil Act until the approval of the 2010 regulatory framework, showing that such changes occurred by the combination of institutional dynamics: processes that led to ruptures with the status quo, incremental ones associated with processes of continuity with increasing returns. The article contributes to the institutionalist discussion in two points: firstt showing the articulation of institutional strands that are usually applied in isolation - that of continuity and gradualism; and more importantly, it attaches special emphasis to non-institutional elements that explain institutional changes.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This research seeks to improve the understanding of reflexivity in the organizational learning process. Its goal is to examine the intensive reflexivity that is driven by identity-based conflicts. We assume that the meta-reflexivity is a part of reflexivity including an investigation of how we establish – after a given reflexivity – learning experiences that were incorporated into the practice. The research is based on the socio-practice approach of learning and a autoethnography of practices in an educational organizational because in this type of organization reflexivity is manifested as key in teaching activity and reflexivity on learning methods, strategies and practices. The autoethnography focused on three meta-reflexive practices and relied on semi-directive interviews and organizational documents. The research results suggest that meta-reflexivity is sustained by involvement as movements (approximating and distancing) and by the exercise of three types of managerial action (instigation, caring and conciliation).

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This article aims to analyze the roles of civil society to promote sustainable consumption in the Brazilian context. It is considered that the sustainable consumption promotion requires the action of civil society through an emancipatory process (SACHS, 2007), from the deepening of participatory democracy and broad exercise of citizenship (COSTA; TEODÓSIO, 2011; MICHELETTI; STOLLE, 2012). The sustainable consumption depends on structural changes associated with political, institutional and market factors, which requires the development of more collaborative proposals, in which civil society has starring roles alongside governments and businesses. Thus, in terms of methodological procedures, a survey was conducted with Brazilian experts in the subject, from the use of the Policy Delphi. The results demonstrate that the roles of civil society analyzed, only carrotmob, at the meso level, has not been verified as relevant. As for the other evaluated roles, only the buycott practice was rated as “very important”, at the micro level, while others were classified as “critically important” in the process of the sustainable consumption promotion in the Brazilian context.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This article aims to analyze the organizational processes of tourism as a practice in the João Pessoa/PB (Brazil) waterfront from an ethnomethodological point of view. The ethnomethodology was also the method used for empirical research. Indeed, there were visits to the waterfront, from which observations, informal conversations, field notes and interviews were made. Data were analyzed based on the theoretical framework as well as the guiding questions of the five key concepts of Garfinkilian ethnomethodology. As a result, there are several events that make up the tourism such as an expression of the waterfront. Tourism does not occur in isolation in different places, but imbricated and carries a series of relationships, symbols, values and social rules that are uttered through generations causing a given space can be considered touristic. Tourism becomes a central element in the organization of tourist space, i.e, it is that justifies and underpins the organizational processes carried out by social groups in warterfront. In conclusion, as field practices, the waterfront is a complex space due to its social, economic and environmental importance, where multiple interests and uses, guided by tourism, are daily present and demonstrate the complexity and importance of this space.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reclaim a reflection on the limits that the traditional hegemonic perceptions on organization-nature relationship have imposed to Organizational Theory (OT). In order to accomplish it we follow two aims: first, we recover a possibility of perspective change on such relation, from the anthropocentric/orgocentric paradigm to the ecocentric paradigm, raised within Organization Studies (OSs) in the 1990s. Approaching how ecocentrism has been assimilated, in the wake of the then nascent reflections on sustainability, we show how the ecocentric perspective was relegated to a marginal condition. In the second objective, we propose the recovery of the discussions on the theme of ecology; more precisely, on the dwelling perspective as an ontology of the relation organization-nature. The contribution of the essay is in getting back the moment when the notion of sustainability became hegemonic in the OSs and in the proposition of an ecological perspective, aligned with the resumption of ecocentrism in this field.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

The literature, although point variables including lack of public safety, unemployment, corruption and the level of education as factors that influence the increase of entrepreneurial intention, does not investigate the effect of such variables through the existence of the endogenous relationship between economic growth and entrepreneurial intention. The objective of this study is to verify whether the economic recession influences entrepreneurial intention. The sample consisted of 60 234 individuals from 37 countries in 2009. Our results show that in scenarios with major economic downturns, people say they are more conducive to engage in entrepreneurial activities. Such result suggests that individuals seek in the economic crisis for business opportunities that may be motivated, possibly, by entrepreneurship by necessity. These evidences indicate that research on entrepreneurial intention should consider the economic situation of the analyzed environment.
