Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

Human resource management, as a practical field of business administration and as a teaching and research area, has developed vigorously in Brazil. The objective of this critical essay is to present an historical analysis of this evolution over the last 60 years. To do so we characterize and analyze two periods: 1950-1980, which we call colonization; and 1980-2010, which we call neo-colonization. For each period we present the political and economic context, the changes that occurred in human resource management and the corresponding discourse. Our analysis adopts the perspective of post-colonialism, a rising tide in research in organizational studies, and introduces and uses the perspective of tropicalism, a genuinely local approach, which is derived from the cultural movements of the 1960s. We argue that human resource management developed in Brazil from a colonization movement that came from abroad. This movement, which involvedboth colonizers and colonized, comprised asymmetries in terms of power, but also included interdependence and re-creations.

(De)fetishization of academic productivity: challenges for the worker-researcher

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

Worker-researchers complain that they have to do more than they want or can. They criticize, but stick with it. Analyses of academic productivity hold international and Brazilian organisms (such as CAPES) and the current system responsible; and not without reason. But the results are scant changes and resignation. In this work we examine how, starting in the 19th century, the complex ‘social engineering’ that commands the world with its overlapping of long-lasting historical processes was structured. The rise of human and social sciences and the commitments they sealed with governments and business men early on is emphasized. The election of Education, Science and Technology as central to promoting economic and social progress reduced the University, predominantly to the role of executor (thinking itself to be autonomous, it is a hostage). While it is capital that needs the knowledge generated by the worker-researchers to reproduce itself, the latter experience the intensification and alienation of their work; such dependence points to the challenge of exercising their power.

Can management and organization knowledge speak Portuguese?

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This paper’s objective is to question whether management and organization knowledge (MOK) is able to speak a language other than English and discuss how the hegemony of this language in the scientific field has contributed to the reproduction of the same colonial logic that for centuries prevented native peoples from making sense of what they thought, spoke and wrote. We show that the main instrument of power that guarantees this hegemony is control over the criteria used for the publication and circulation of MOK, which tends to marginalize everything that is produced outside the linguistic basis controlled by the North. The main effect of this logic is that native researchers submit to control by the North; they find themselves in a subaltern position, condemned in their own country to operate under an external logic that defines what is and what is not quality scientific knowledge in the management and organizational field.

Rigor, relevance and challenges in administration: tensions between research and professional education

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

We recover the educational and research trajectory of the administration field in Brazil to discuss current challenges regarding the relevance of scholarly production. The analysis of RAE’s history reveals tensions between research and the tradition of professional training, or even between rigor and relevance: from a journal which reflected the thinking of FGV-EAESP, focused on the emerging class of managers, who lacked specialized and relevant knowledge, to an essential debate forum and scientific publication, now for specialized academic circles. This change was characterized by the progressive introduction of academic criteria and procedures and a growing emphasis on theoretical and methodological rigor. However, the issue of the relevance and impact of the knowledge created suggests important questions to the scientific community. Among the issues we raise there are the following: what problems do we address? How do we do it? What are the contributions of our texts? For whom do we write? Which dialogues with other spheres of society do we promote?

RAE-eletrônica: exploration of archive in the light of bibliometrics, geoanalysis and social network

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This study explores the entire archive of RAE-eletrônica, consisting of 240 articles in 18 editions, from 2002 to 2010, using techniques of bibliometrics, social network analysis and geographic analysis. It analyzes the content, involving titles, keywords, summary and body of texts; collaboration between authors and institutions; most influential journals and conferences, and citations and self-citations involving authorship and references. It concludes that the RAE-eletrônica collection largely reflects the characteristics of the universe of recent academic administration production in Brazil, due to the greater influence of RAE and international journals, and Anpad conferences. Highlights are FGV-EAESP, USP and UFRGS as the most influential institutions of the collection. Terms like “company”, “organization” and “work” are among the most mentioned in the texts, while “management” is the most frequent keyword. The combined use of the techniques explored in this article leverages its appropriation to other sets of articles and scientific fields.
