Resumo: This article, in the form of essay, discusses the paradoxical condition of human resources administration, which seeks to work from an instrumental perspective of rationality by considering the requirements of organizational competitiveness. However, at the same time, it seeks to take into account the employees’ expectations. Such longing, from a perspective of worker’s emancipation, could be fulfilled by means of the proposal by substantive rationality, which is characterized by ethical judgment, self-fulfillment, emancipation, and autonomy. Organizational practices related to people are linked to a specifically human context and to another highly competitive context. In this sense, managers in the area seem to need to work according to a convergence of instrumental and substantive rationalities. The challenge in the area is working under this paradoxical condition. A theoretical discussion on this reality and on possible directions for the future is conducted.

Entretanto, ao mesmo tempo, procura considerar os anseios dos colaboradores. Tais anseios, em uma perspectiva de emancipação do trabalhador, seriam alcançados pela racionalidade substantiva, a qual se caracteriza pelo julgamento ético, a autorrealização, a emancipação e a autonomia. As práticas organizacionais relacionadas às pessoas estão vinculadas a um contexto propriamente humano e a outro contexto altamente competitivo. Nesse sentido, os gestores da área parecem precisar agir em função de uma convergência das racionalidades instrumental e substantiva. O desafio da área é agir nessa condição paradoxal. É realizada uma discussão teórica sobre essa realidade e sobre possíveis direções para o futuro.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2014-08-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/9373Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 12 No. 3 (2014); 706 a 718Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 12 Núm. 3 (2014); 706 a 718Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 12 n. 3 (2014); 706 a 7181679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/9373/31328Muzzio, Henriqueinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-10-10T17:38:04Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/9373Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:47.750662Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
