Administração e política: um estudo fenomenológico com gestores do setor privado e suas relações entre empresa e entidades empresariais

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate, from a phenomenological perspective, the relationship between administration and politics based on the study of entrepreneurs who are members of business entities or groups of entrepreneurs. The guiding question revolves around the way entrepreneurs understand the phenomena that occur during the trajectory of business management. To understand this relationship and the understanding of the daily phenomena that involve management, the concepts about political administration, the sociological notions arising from phenomenological studies and the approximation between the reality of managers and the theory that intends to describe the relationship between managers and peers through Hanna Arendt's analyses were used as a theoretical basis. Starting from the point where Guerreiro Ramos presents his view of what refers to administration and what refers to politics in organizations, the interview script was created together with open reports of the interviewed managers on how they understand these two aspects in private management. The elements for analysis were extracted from interviews and autobiographical reports. The analyses begin with the synthesis of the interviews and, afterwards, the categorization of the material using the content analysis technique. The results allow us to reflect on the relationship between manager and company as well as its relationship between manager and managers, identifying in this relationship characteristics that involve politics and administration as an objective and subjective activity of the administrator's action.
