Resumo: This article establishes a parallel between the theory of gift exchange, as expounded by Marcel Mauss, and structural relationships in the workplace. Based on research conducted in 122 public and private organizations, in various sectors of the economy, it was possible to identify: the obsolescence of the teamwork structure and the prevalence of a structure that favors individualized labor. Based on this premise, the article discusses the possibility that the system of purchase-sale of fragmented labor is in the process of being replaced by the system of gift-recognition of individualized labor. The results of a research discussed in this article reveal that this movement is the product of a mutation rather than evolution or chance. In an attempt to withstand market pressures, organizations have been forced to impose radical change in the management of their assets. Consequently, the manner in which human resources are hired, used and discarded has changed. The structural model of labor-merchandise sold in a fragmented fashion has been replaced by a structure in which the result of labor is transacted in batches and integral fractions for a compensation that transcends mere remuneration.

Com base em pesquisa realizada junto a 122 organizações públicas e privadas, de diversos setores da economia, foi possível identificar: a superação da estrutura do trabalho em equipe (teamwork) e a prevalência de uma estru- tura que privilegia o trabalho individualizado. A partir dessa constatação, o artigo discute a possibilidade de que o sistema de compra-venda do tra- balho fragmentado esteja sendo substituído pelo sistema da dádiva-reco- nhecimento do trabalho individualizado. A pesquisa cujos resultados são comentados neste artigo indica que esse movimento não é fruto de uma evolução ou de uma circunstância momentânea, mas de uma mutação. Na tentativa de sobreviver às pressões do mercado, as organizações se encon- traram na contingência de impor uma mudança radical na gestão de seus ativos. Como decorrência, a maneira como os recursos humanos são con- tratados, utilizados e descartados se alterou. A forma estrutural do traba- lho-mercadoria vendido fragmentariamente se viu substituída pela estrutura em que o resultado do trabalho em lotes e frações integrais é transacionado contra recompensas que transcendem a simples remuneração.Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EBAPE)2007-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6603Brazilian Journal of Public Administration; Vol. 41 No. 4 (2007); 707 a 732Revista de Administração Pública; Vol. 41 Núm. 4 (2007); 707 a 732Revista de Administração Pública; v. 41 n. 4 (2007); 707 a 7321982-31340034-7612reponame:Revista de Administração Públicainstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6603/5187Thiry-Cherques, Hermano Robertoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-17T20:54:24Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/6603Revistahttps://ebape.fgv.br/publicacoes/rapONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||rap@fgv.br1982-31340034-7612opendoar:2021-11-17T20:54:24Revista de Administração Pública - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
