Resumo: | This paper aims to propose a perspective on identity in organizational studies, considering an integrative view of identity as everyday practices, practices as discursive practices, and discursive practices as oriented by rationalities. Oriented by different rationalities, individuals are capable of practicing either an authentic or an instrumental identity in their current lives. Applying this assertion to organizational contexts, we emphasize the importance of studying individuals in relation to collective levels. According to Ramos’ (1981) theory on the delimitation of social systems, in different worlds of social life, individuals are allowed to act according to different rationality types. On the other hand, considering Ciampa’s (2003) concept of metamorphosis identity, we can also state that individuals are capable of practicing an authentic identity in instrumental-oriented contexts. In this way, they transform themselves and transform repressive conditions. Therefore, researchers willing to comprehend identity processes in organizational contexts are expected to identify emergent groups, i.e. collective identities, and then analyze the relationship between collective and individual rationalities in order to reveal identity construction. This paper presents a theoretical articulation of our proposal and, in the final part, indicates possible methodological paths to operationalizing it. |

As práticas pautadas pelas diferentes racionalidades permitem ao indivíduo exercer uma identidade autêntica ou instrumental em seu cotidiano. Aplicando-se tal entendimento ao contexto das organizações, salienta-se a importância de se estudar os indivíduos em relação aos níveis coletivos, pois, segundo a teoria da delimitação dos sistemas sociais de Ramos (1981), em diferentes enclaves da vida social, torna-se possível ao indivíduo exercer diferentes tipos de racionalidade. Em contrapartida, segundo o conceito de identidade metamorfose de Ciampa (2003), defende-se também a ideia de que o indivíduo é capaz de exercer uma identidade autêntica em contextos pautados pela instrumentalidade, sendo capaz de transformar-se e transformar as condições que o reprimem. Cabe, portanto, ao pesquisador, identificar os grupos, ou identidades coletivas, que emergem no contexto das organizações e analisar a relação entre as racionalidades coletivas e individuais envolvidas, para que, ao final, sejam desvendadas as identidades em jogo. O artigo apresenta primeiramente a articulação teórica de sua proposta e, em seguida, indica caminhos metodológicos possíveis para sua operacionalização.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2012-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5245Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 10 No. 1 (2012); 40 a 64Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 10 Núm. 1 (2012); 40 a 64Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 10 n. 1 (2012); 40 a 641679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5245/3979Souza, Mariana Mayumi Pereira deCarrieri, Alexandre de Páduainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-10-10T17:31:08Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/5245Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:36.405965Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |
