Políticas educacionais para a educação tecnológica: a proposta do Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Gestão de Recursos Humanos da FAP e o histórico dualismo da educação brasileira

O presente estudo analisou as políticas públicas voltadas para a Educação Profissional e Tecnológica e sua influência sobre o projeto pedagógico do Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Gestão de Recursos Humanos da Faculdade do Pará e, em particular, como este Curso se apresenta ante ao histórico processo dual de oferta da educação no Brasil. Para tanto, analisamos o conteúdo das políticas públicas voltadas para a educação Profissional e Tecnológica no Brasil, a partir da década de 1990. Utilizamos os procedimentos da pesquisa qualitativa, fazendo uso de entrevistas e de análise documental, para analisar o nosso objeto. Partimos da hipótese segundo a qual as políticas de educação profissional e tecnológica de nosso país pressupõem a formação especificamente para o trabalho e visam a conformação das classes sociais fundamentais, proprietárias e não-proprietárias, e que o Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Gestão de Recursos Humanos da Faculdade do Pará fortalece esta mesma perspectiva político-pedagógica. Analisamos os documentos que normatizam os cursos superiores de tecnologia no Brasil, o projeto pedagógico e o desenho curricular do curso em questão e as falas de professores, técnicos, egressos e gestores da instituição à luz de autores identificados com o materialismo histórico. Verificamos que, tanto os documentos normatizadores da educação profissional tecnológica brasileira quanto àqueles que definem a estrutura do curso estudado na Faculdade do Pará têm sido orientados para o desenvolvimento do “fazer”, do “saber-fazer”, não dando conta das bases científicas deste fazer e nem de uma formação que considere as relações histórico-sociais nas quais está inserido. Assim, o direcionamento dado à formação de tecnólogos tem, fundamentalmente, promovido a capacidade de aprendizagem dos processos tecnológicos específicos, incentivando à produção e a inovação científico-tecnológica e suas aplicações no mundo do trabalho, visando o desenvolvimento de competências profissionais tecnológicas, gerais e específicas. Concluímos nosso estudo com a convicção de que o conteúdo das políticas para a educação profissional e tecnológica bem como do Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Gestão de Recursos Humanos fortalecem a histórica dualidade da educação brasileira ao se orientarem apenas para a conformação dos processos formativos as demandas dos setores produtivos e para a aquisição de conhecimentos relativos, unicamente, ao desenvolvimento de funções específicas.

A capacitação de servidores técnico-administrativos: desenvolvendo na UFPA competências por meio do conhecimento

Para enfrentar os desafios do novo milênio, as instituições, organizações e de modo geral o mundo do trabalho, deverão preocupar-se mais com as pessoas, investindo, sobretudo, no seu bem-estar, sua realização pessoal e profissional, por meio da capacitação e qualificação, sendo o conhecimento considerado a mola mestre do desenvolvimento. Este estudo tem como objetivo geral investigar se a capacitação dos servidores Técnico-Administrativos (TA) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) que realizaram os cursos de Especialização em Administração Estratégica e Gestão de Pessoas, no período de 2002 a 2004, na UFPA, Campus de Belém, contribuiu para a melhoria do desempenho de suas unidades por meio do conhecimento adquirido. A partir da metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo, tem-se a apresentação da fundamentação teórica acerca da temática sob estudo, tendo como base a abordagem qualitativa, utilizando para coleta de dados, documentos e a entrevista. Teve como informantes gestores das Pró-Reitorias de Planejamento (PROPLAN) e Pró-Reitoria de Desenvolvimento e Gestão de Pessoal (PROGEP) que atuaram durante o período da pesquisa, e ainda, quinze servidores técnicos egressos dos cursos de especialização. Para interpretação dos dados foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo, possibilitando uma melhor interpretação das falas dos entrevistados, cujo resultado indica que os referidos cursos se constituíram em premente necessidade para o quadro dos servidores técnico-administrativos, a partir de um processo de Educação Continuada visando um melhor desempenho das atividades laborais, além de maior satisfação e motivação para o trabalho, concluindo-se que a UFPA, como um centro de prestação de serviços públicos educacionais destinados ao cidadão, deve primar por uma política efetiva e continuada de profissionalização e valorização de seu servidor, observando-se que o conhecimento é ferramenta essencial na política de recursos humanos dos servidores para gerar competência, tendo em vista que a própria UFPA se beneficia na medida em que a profissionalização e a valorização do servidor têm apresentado como resultado maior eficiência na prestação dos serviços direcionados a sociedade, objetivo primeiro das instituições governamentais.

Gestão de recursos humanos e manufatura enxuta: evidências empíricas do setor automotivo brasileiro

The aim of this paper is to verify whether the practices of human resource management have a positive influence on the adoption of lean manufacturing practices in Brazilian companies in the automotive sector. To this aim, we proposed a framework linking these concepts to the proposed research hypothesis. Data collected from 75 companies were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The research demonstrates that human resource management indeed tends to influence the adoption of lean manufacturing practices in a weak-moderate manner.

Greening the work force in Brazilian hotels: The role of environmental training

BACKGROUND: Organizations are increasingly required to reduce their environmental impact through the adoption of environmental management, which requires the support of human resource practices.OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine whether human resource management practices, especially training, are supporting environmental management practices at four hotels located in Brazil.METHODS: This research is qualitative, based on the analysis of four hotels in Brazil.RESULTS: Based on the systematized empirical evidence collected from four hotels (Hotels A, B, C, and D), it can be concluded that: (1) human resource management is still not fully aligned with environmental objectives at the hotels studied; (2) only Hotel B has implemented environmental management practices and aligned with human resource management in a more developed manner, which may indicate that these two variables of analysis could have interrelations; (3) environmental training as a human resource management practice was verified in all hotels analyzed.CONCLUSIONS: The greening of human resources practices is not fully aligned with environmental objectives in the hotels studied. If these hotels really wish to "go green," environmental training will be necessary. Hotel stakeholders play a major role in implementing the greening of the hotel industry.

Modelo para definição do kit de horas de montagem de aviões

This work was done a study to develop a model for definition of hours assembling planes, that were able to meet both the most complete plane, i.e. with the highest number of mounts but also that do not generate an idleness on the line when a plane less complex passing on the Assembly line. The proposed model has great advantages over the current model that the company has been using, as for example: leftover hand-to-hand for assembling airplanes only 10% than the current model raises and an expense to pay the human resource/time of only 6.7% compared with the current model at the company

Gestão de recursos humanos em projetos de software: proposta integrada ao processo pessoal

The software quality represents a more and more important attribute for the survival and growth of software industries. In order to ensure the quality of products manufactured, various practices have been incorporated into the development process. In this context, some successful software organizations have invested in an approach to human resource management, which consists in integrating the management activities with a personal process called Personal Software Process - PSP, which has led to the maintenance of greater discipline and control over all development phases. Given this, this work presents a proposal for integration of techniques set out in the PSP with a web system previously developed, which is called System to Aid Project Management - SAPM.

Rumo à gestão estratégica de recursos humanos? Estudo de caso em uma organização pública paulista

This article aims to analyze the use of human resource practices in a public organization in Sao Paulo. In this paper we try to answer the question: is the human resource management in the organization Y compatible with the new strategic issues this area? We adopted a qualitative approach, through case study. The primary data were obtained through interviews and secondary data were obtained through analysis of information and documents provided by the studied organization as well as direct observation of organizational routine. The results indicate that, despite the organization uses the term strategic human resources management, it is focused on legal and operational issues. The human resource practices are not integrated and some practices do not exist (career plan and training). Thus, it is believed that if the organization adopts some of the improvements suggested in this article, it will be walking toward a more strategic human resource management entering in the new public management.

Gestão ambiental: um novo desafio para os profissionais de recursos humanos?

Current research analyzes the importance of human resources managers in organizational sustainability through the ack-nowledgement of the external variables and innovatory practices, such as environment management. In fact, the latter is a challenge for organizations and consequently for the human resources’ area. Investigation comprised a revision of the literature: theoretical and empirical articles that deal with the role of human resources’ mana-gement and on the environmental issue which is daily in the news. The essay is divided into three parts: the first section emphasizes the role of human resources’ managers; empirical evidences of the activities of HR managers in international contexts are dealt with in the second part; the third section deals with the environmental ma-nagement issue as a new challenge for HR managers. HR managers should acknowledge and incorporate in human resources practice the environmental dimension from the stages of recruitment, selec-tion and training. If people with attitudes and competences in the environment are rewarded, they will contribute towards an effective environmental management and, consequently, improvements in organizational results will materialize.

Talent Management in Higher Education: Developing Emerging Leaders Within the Administration at Private Colleges and Universities

This research focused on identifying a series of successful practices relating to administrative talent management within the higher education setting. The field study included a thorough examination of seven small to mid-size private colleges and universities that have incorporated employee development strategies. These strategies were aimed at growing future leaders from within the organization in order to achieve continuity and support institutional priorities. Specifically, several focus areas were investigated including presidential vision, leadership commitment, talent management’s place among institutional priorities, program characteristics, and program evaluation. Among the commonalities that were gathered included support at the senior officer level who serve as advocates, mentors, and program facilitators, a strong connection between talent management and the institutions’ strategic plans, and a holistic approach to developing talent at all levels of the organizations. In addition, both coaching and opportunities for growth in the work environment were evident within several of the institutions. Also, academic leadership development was considered to be a part of the talent management strategy within three of the colleges and universities. The key differentiators included the incorporation of organizational and leadership competencies to provide focus toward the performance development process at two institutions, the implementation of a succession planning model at another institution, and the location of human resource generalists in departments across two of the institutions to identify learning opportunities for both individuals and work teams. Based on both the findings from the field study and the literature review, a comprehensive procedural model is introduced that serves to support human resource departments and higher education professionals, in general, who are looking to either begin or broaden their own talent management approach. However, despite the progress that has been made across several institutions noted throughout the research study, much more must be learned in terms of how the time and resources invested in talent management translates to institutional success.
