Resumen:
The aim of this study is to analyze the perception of Management Theories on the part of
public agency officials in the city of Sousa - PB. The research method used was the inductive
one and the research was classified as bibliographic, descriptive and field. The data collection
was done through a questionnaire applied to the collaborators of the Centro Cultural Banco do
Nordeste. In the data analysis, a quantitative approach was used to work with mathematical
and qualitative resources, considering the most relevant facts for the scientific growth of this
science, appreciating classic and contemporary approaches, aligning each one to its economic,
political and social context, emphasizing the social character of the Administration. The
results show that the relevance of the Administration's knowledge to the support of
organizations is clear, although it already exists, empirically, in organizations predating
modern capitalism, as in the Roman Church and in Military Organizations, it is during the
Industrial Revolution that a new model of life totally dependent on the organizations, and the
repercussions of theories of Administration begin to take force.
