A prática da gestão do conhecimento pessoal de coordenadores de cursos de graduação de uma universidade pública

Abstract

The socio-economic fabric imposed by contemporary society, makes the relationship between individual and organization increasingly based on the development of both. In this scenario, valuing and managing knowledge in a strategic way is a differential for organizational success. Faced with this imposition of the knowledge age, the research emerged from a reflection on the dynamics that permeates contemporary society in relation to Personal Knowledge Management, and the influences that the Public Universities of Brazil have been suffering from this process since the twentieth century. Personal Knowledge Management permeates the daily life of society and we therefore had an interest in identifying these practices, in the face of the routine of coordinators of undergraduate courses at a public university in the city of Rio de Janeiro, considering that there are many challenges that permeate the professional career. This is a qualitative, descriptive research that, based on bibliographic and documentary studies, intends to study the daily practice of coordinators of undergraduate courses of the same public university. A case study, which had its data collection done by semi-structured interviews. The field results were analyzed according to a methodological framework proposed by Pettigrew (1987), allowing to highlight the interconnection between subjects, environment and Personal Knowledge Management. It was evident that GCP practices are present in the routine of the Coordinators, acting as propellers of action strategies, in search of efficiency and improvement of competencies, although there is no formal incentive to these practices. We then have GCP occurring even in an unprocessed way, favoring not only individual but also organizational.
