Valoração do conhecimento: significação e identidade na ação organizacional

The valuing of knowledge represents a gap in the field of organizational knowledge. This article aims at answering to which processes are adopted by individuals in the valuing of knowledge in organizations. The research, carried out with HR professionals, utilized the Grounded Theory Method. Results suggest that the individuals’ process of identification with the organizational identity has a central role in the valuing of knowledge. The organization, through its senior management or organizational routines, emerged as “the other” that seems to lead the guidelines to be followed, as well as which knowledge to assess and to value; it is the one that the organizational members seek to identify with. The individuals expressed mechanisms of assertion or reconstruction of their identities to generate, justify or negate their identification with the organization. It is suggested that the command model still prevails over vertical horizontal interaction, making it difficult to establish emergent knowledge among organizational members.

As ROTINAS DE ORÇAMENTO COMO LÓCUS PARA ESTUDOS SOBRE AS ROTINAS ORGANIZACIONAIS

As rotinas organizacionais passaram a ser vistas como generativas e com um potencial para a mudanca continua. O presente ensaio teorico alega que as rotinas do orcamento empresarial (budgeting) representam uns locus adequado para estudos sobre a dinâmica das rotinas (Routine Dynamics), relacionando esses temas, sob a otica processual e a lente dos Estudos Organizacionais. Os orcamentos sao processos que integram o sistema de controle e planejamento das empresas e interagem com rotinas adjacentes. Destaca-se que existem sugestoes para que se estude ‘como’ os orcamentos sao usados. Assim, cabe considerar como sao percebidas as combinacoes e adaptacoes das rotinas orcamentarias, havendo uma dinâmica interna subjacente e como podem ser percebidos como uteis. Os orcamentos tambem tratam do sub-tema dos artefatos, pois sao considerados como um instrumento de gestao preponderante. Portanto, sugere-se uma agenda de pesquisa empirica com as abordagens deste debate e o enfoque na ecologia das rotinas orcamentarias.
