Resumo: | The purpose of this essay was to reflect on the use of algorithms by organizations, especially in the mediation of work management, that has resulted in a model named algocracy. This system is guided by the search for efficiency and legitimized by the new information and communication technologies, affecting work relationships, organizational structures, and cultural, economic, social, and political aspects. For such reflection, we observed this algorithmic management model through the lens of critical management studies. We argue that the neoliberal context camouflages disparities between organizations and workers by legitimizing the ideology of flexibility and using algorithms to capture data, process it, and decide on workers' activities and assessments. |

Este sistema se basa en la búsqueda de la eficiencia, y está legitimado por las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, afectando las relaciones laborales y las estructuras organizativas, sus aspectos culturales, económicos, sociales y políticos. Sostenemos que el contexto neoliberal camufla las disparidades entre organizaciones y trabajadores, legitimando la ideología de la flexibilidad y utilizando algoritmos para capturar datos, procesarlos y luego decidir sobre las actividades y evaluaciones de los trabajadores.O objetivo desse artigo teórico é apresentar a temática da algocracia e seus contornos sob uma lente crítica, especialmente no que tange a utilização dos algoritmos pelas organizações, especialmente na mediação da gestão do trabalho. Esse sistema é pautado na busca por eficiência, e legitimado pelas novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, afetando relações de trabalho e estruturas organizacionais, seus aspectos culturais, econômicos, sociais e políticos. Para tanto, observamos esse modelo de gestão por algoritmos pela lente dos estudos críticos de gestão. Argumentamos que o contexto neoliberal camufla as disparidades entre organizações e trabalhadores, ao legitimar a ideologia da flexibilidade, e usando os algoritmos para capturar dados, processá-los e, em seguida, decidir sobre as atividades e avaliações dos trabalhadores.FEAAC/UFC2021-08-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/ziphttp://periodicos.ufc.br/contextus/article/view/6794910.19094/contextus.2021.67949Contextus - Contemporary Journal of Economics and Management; Vol 19: jan/dec 2021; 246-256Contextus – Revista Contemporánea de Economía y Gestión; Vol. 19: jan/dez 2021; 246-256Contextus – Revista Contemporânea de Economia e Gestão; v. 19: jan/dez 2021; 246-2562178-92581678-2089reponame:Contextus (Fortaleza.
