Resumo: | More and more present in the contemporary world, the restructuring of state agencies has been adopted in Brazil since 1995 as a part of a set of actions summarized in the so-called Plano Diretor de Reforma do Estado (State Reform Plan). An important challenge for reaching the goals of such a plan was the proposal to replace the prototype of the ‘bureaucratic administrator’ — inefficient, uncompromised and unconsiderate of the user — for that of the ‘new manager’ — enterprising, creative and mindful of the client. This article problemizes such a proposal and, secondarily, shows how complex any change can be in the way the so-called ‘bureaucratic administrators’ act, sincetheir actions reflect everyday practices which were developed within a socialhistorical process, comprising, among others, the cultural dimension — the inherent Brazilian culture features that influence the actions of those same actors inside public organizations. Such problemizing is illustrated with a research carried out in a set of state government organizations, the results of which reveal inappropriate managerial conduct profiles both for the socalled ‘bureaucratic administrator’ and for the ‘new manager’. |

Um desafio importante para o alcance dos objetivos do plano era a proposta de substituição do protótipo do ¿administrador burocrático¿ ¿ ineficiente, descomprometido e pouco atento ao usuário ¿ pelo do tipo ¿novo gerente¿, empreendedor, criativo e atento ao cliente. Este artigo busca, em primeiro lugar, problematizar essa proposição, e, em segundo lugar, mostrar o quão complexa pode ser qualquer mudança na forma de agir dos denominados ¿administradores burocráticos¿. Suas ações refletem práticas cotidianas construídas a partir de um processo histórico-social, compreendendo, entre outras, a dimensão cultural, ou seja, traços inerentes à cultura brasileira que influenciam as ações desses atores no interior das organizações públicas. Tal problematização será ilustrada por meio de pesquisa realizada em um grupo de organizações de um governo estadual, cujos resultados apontam para perfis de condutas gerenciais não apropriadas nem ao denominado ¿administrador burocrático¿, nem ao ¿novo gerente¿.Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EBAPE)2004-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6531Brazilian Journal of Public Administration; Vol. 38 No. 1 (2004); 137 a 156Revista de Administração Pública; Vol. 38 Núm. 1 (2004); 137 a 156Revista de Administração Pública; v. 38 n. 1 (2004); 137 a 1561982-31340034-7612reponame:Revista de Administração Públicainstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6531/5115Junquilho, Gelson Silvainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-17T20:59:16Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/6531Revistahttps://ebape.fgv.br/publicacoes/rapONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||rap@fgv.br1982-31340034-7612opendoar:2021-11-17T20:59:16Revista de Administração Pública - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false |
