Abstract

This work is the result of the final papers for the first distance-learning Bachelor's Degree in Public Administration offered by the Open University of Brazil (UAB) and the Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA), Santana do Livramento campus. With the aim of meeting the demand for higher education for public managers in the State of Rio Grande do Sul and expanding free, quality higher education, contributing to the development of the southern region of Brazil, the course began in the first semester of 2018, ending the offering of regular courses in 2022, but extending the recurrence periods until 2023. Thus, this book is a collection of some scientific articles developed by students of the Public Administration Distance Education course at UAB/UNI PAMPA. Thus, it covers various themes related to Brazilian public administration. In this sense, this work begins by addressing Public Administration and social protection systems, making an epistemological approach, in terms of space and time. Spatially, the study is limited to Latin America, and in time, it begins after the occurrence of the Washington Consensus (1989). With this, it seeks to analyze the perspectives and challenges of the role of Public Administration in translating the contradictions of the peripheral capitalist State into the processes of reform and/or counter-reform of social protection systems in Latin America. The following chapter reflects on the human person and their dignity, seeking as a basis constitutional principles such as citizenship, human dignity and the social values ​​of work. In this context, the chapter addresses work in contemporary society, not only as an ontological category, but also in relation to today's society that seeks humanization in different sectors. To this end, the study of Marx and Vygotsky is explored in order to discuss man, work and humanization. The third chapter is a documentary research on news items available on the website of the Ministry of Economy about telework. Its objective was to determine the behavior of the current federal administration regarding this type of work within the public service. To this end, 35 news items were selected, dated from 2018 to 2022, separated into thematic groups and subdivided into themes. Based on the analysis of these items, it was possible to determine how the federal administration positions itself regarding this issue. Next, chapter four addresses an exploratory research project aimed at implementing technological financial management procedures and tools in a non-profit organization, with a view to optimizing the execution of processes in the financial sector. In this way, the article reports the implementation stages and the results achieved. The fifth chapter discusses human resources management in Brazil. Thus, the analysis of the processes carried out by workers in this sector, who work in both public and private companies, is carried out. To this end, the author starts, in an inductive manner, from the experience in a human resources department of a municipality in Rio Grande do Sul. Finally, in the sixth chapter, in a bibliographical research, the Digital Recording System of Tax, Social Security and Labor Obligations, entitled E-Social, was examined. From this, the impacts of E-Social and the consequent debureaucratization of Public Administration were analyzed. With this work, the Open University of Brazil (UAB) and the Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAM PA) hope to contribute to the training of Brazilian public administrators, as well as bring important topics for the purpose of Public Administration to the academic debate.
