The purpose of this study was to investigate how innovation is portrayed by Career Management, Planning and Infrastructure servers within Science and Technology, pertaining to the Career Plan in the field of science and technology, from social representations, generated by science and technology analysts and science and technology assistants, currently being exercised in institutions linked to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The procedures for the analysis of the data collected were performed in accordance with the structural approach of social representations applied to the group of participants and subgroups formed by: science and technology analysts and assistants, servers under the age of fifty years, and with fifty years of age or more, as well as respondents with and without experience in the deployment of innovation processes, respectively. The conclusion was that there was no significant difference between the social representations of the group and the subgroups identified. It was also observed that the servers related innovation to technology, novelty, creativity and change, indicating a trend of conceiving it under a traditional bias. Going back to the idea of innovation as a new technical object; the presence of elements associated with the systemic perspective that considers innovation as a result of interaction between all actors involved in the process was not observed in the social representations. The research also examined the opinion of the servers regarding some aspects concerning technology use readiness (innovation) and the dimensions that constitute an innovative ambience. The responses revealed that the use of new technologies would be just as satisfying as learning about their use and even the possibility of professional updating. Yet, the organization's recognition, teamwork and exchange of knowledge and learning, communication between the leaders and groups involved in the activities, as well as the creation of a space to share reviews and opinions, would be enabling factors of innovation. The results recorded may contribute to studies and debates dedicated to managing the innovation process and people involved, and therefore the effectiveness of an innovation policy in the context of the federal government
