Administradores para quê? reflexões sobre a profissão no âmbito do IBGE sob a ótica da abordagem institucional.

Abstract

The present study starts from reflections on the profession of Administrator, seeking to understand the views of those occupying the APGI Position at IBGE about this office, based on the analysis of training, work, professionalization and perception about the profession. The central question that shapes the research problem is: how do graduates in Administration, occupying the position of Planning, Management and Infrastructure Analyst (APGI) within the scope of the IBGE Executive Board, see the Administrator's career from the analysis of your academic training, work activities, professional development and perceptions about the profession? To achieve this objective, a qualitative research approach was used. The research is classified, according to its purposes, as exploratory and descriptive and, regarding the technical procedures used, the research essentially used bibliographical, documentary and field research. Depending on the proposed objectives, as well as the nature of the research and the information collected, it was decided to use the Content Analysis technique. The main results point to an understanding that the Administrator's career is seen as discredited, lacking legitimacy and recognition in society and public and private institutions. Furthermore, there is disbelief, on the part of the research subjects, in the supervisory bodies of the profession, namely: CFA and CRAs. The research carried out advances discussions about the Administrator profession and its insertion in the public sector. It is considered, therefore, that this advance concerns the survey of the vision of a specific professional group, Analysts (APGIs), in one of the most important bodies of the Federal Public Administration, the IBGE. The research found arguments that suggest the importance of replicating in other public bodies the improvement of both the selection of positions linked to the Administrator's private activities and of subsidies for the development of people management policies. The effort to understand this problem, based on the authors who guided the research, basically highlighted two views on the profession, which are presented and discussed in the text.
