Análise dos impactos e características de cargos de gestão exercidos por profissionais que não são administradores em uma universidade federal brasileira

Abstract

Management in universities is usually performed by professionals who do not have a degree in administration. These professionals experience difficulties and challenges arising from their lack of knowledge in management tools and in administrative science itself. From this perspective, this study analyzes the impacts and characteristics of organizational management positions held by professionals who are not administrators in a Brazilian Federal3 University. The methodology is characterized as qualitative and exploratory, using as a data collection instrument the semi-structured interview with six professors who work in management positions. The collected data were analyzed through content analysis, through coding and categorization that allows a more in-depth interpretation of the acquired information. As a result, it was identified that professors who occupy management positions in a Brazilian federal university face significant challenges due to the lack of specific training in administration, resulting in insecurity in decision-making and resistance to the use of management tools. It is concluded that the implementation of management training programs is essential to improve the managerial skills of these professionals and bring improvements to the administration of the institution, as well as to give them more autonomy and confidence in carrying out their tasks.
