Resumo: The new technologies of control in contemporary organizations rely on the constitution of the adequate subjects for performing organizational roles. Their objective is to control at a distance, instead of the direct supervising of individuals. It can be said that teleworking is the managerial initiative that has taken further the idea of distance between organizations and individuals. This paper aims at exploring how organizational control takes place in a situation in which physical distance between organization and individual is clearly established. Twenty-five teleworkers residing in Rio de Janeiro city were interviewed. All of the interviewees are teleworkers who hold stead job positions and perform knowledge-intensive tasks.

Até o momento, o teletrabalho pode ser considerado a iniciativa gerencial que põe em prática, de maneira mais contundente, o afastamento indivíduo-organização. Este artigo busca explorar como o esforço de controle à distância se dá nessa situação em que a separação física organização-indivíduo é clara e estabelecida. Foram entrevistados 25 teletrabalhadores residentes na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, todos mantendo vínculo empregatício com as empresas para as quais teletrabalham e desenvolvendo tarefas que podem ser caracterizadas como intensivas em conhecimento.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/4909Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 3 No. 1 (2005); 1 a 12Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 3 Núm. 1 (2005); 1 a 12Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 3 n. 1 (2005); 1 a 121679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/4909/3643Costa, Isabel de Sa Affonso dainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-10-10T17:03:10Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/4909Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:18.504442Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
