Resumo: | The so-called high performance systems reflect the organizations’ need to strengthen worker involvement in order to respond more quickly to demands for results. Despite the fact that high performance practices promote work intensification and increasing stress levels, and thus restrict quality of life and well-being at work, high performance companies tend to appeal to a large number of qualified professionals; which gives rise to the question about the mechanisms that promote such attractiveness. In order to investigate this issue, this study focuses on the discourse of human resources professionals in high-performance companies operating in Brazil. The research was conducted through in-depth interviews with these professionals, based on broad questions about their recruitment and selection practices. The arguments and motives that permeate the professionals’ discourse were analyzed in light of the conceptual repertoire of Critical Theory, particularly the debate about the rationalities that guide social action. The examination of the discourses points to an instrumentally oriented communication and a systematic distortion of the communicative process within organizations, at the expense of work-life balance and individual and interpersonal well-being. |

Attracting new employees for high performance companies: a critique to human resourceAtrayendo nuevos empleados para alta negocio rendimiento: una crítica de los profesionales de razones recursos humanosAtraindo novos funcionários para empresas de alta performance: uma crítica às razões dos profissionais de recursos humanosThe so-called high performance systems reflect the organizations’ need to strengthen worker involvement in order to respond more quickly to demands for results.

Apesar de as práticas de alta performance promoverem uma gradual intensificação no trabalho e o aumento do nível de stress dos trabalhadores, e, portanto, restringirem a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar no trabalho, empresas de alta performance exercem grande poder de atração nos profissionais qualificados, o que enseja a indagação sobre os mecanismos que promovem essa atratividade. Para investigar esta questão, este estudo se debruça sobre os discursos proferidos por profissionais que atuam na área de recursos humanos de empresas de alta performance atuantes no Brasil. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com esses profissionais, com perguntas amplas sobre as atividades de recrutamento e seleção de funcionários. Os argumentos e motivos que permeiam os discursos desses profissionais foram analisados à luz do repertório conceitual da Teoria Crítica, particularmente o debate sobre as racionalidades que orientam a ação social. O exame dos discursos aponta para uma comunicação instrumentalmente orientada e para a distorção sistemática do processo comunicativo no interior das organizações, em detrimento do equilíbrio entre vida e trabalho e do bem-estar individual e interpessoal.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2015-01-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/11500Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2015); 103 a 120Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 13 Núm. 1 (2015); 103 a 120Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 13 n. 1 (2015); 103 a 1201679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/11500/41258Copyright (c) 2015 Cadernos EBAPE.BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza, Filipe Augusto Silveira deLemos, Ana Heloísa da CostaCavazotte, Flavia de Souza Costa NevesMalva, Teresa Rachel Jesus2016-10-10T17:38:23Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/11500Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:48.616034Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |
