Inserção, atuação e ascensão profissional: o papel do capital social em usinas sucroalcooleiras do interior paulista
Abstract
From the financial logic that changes the investment outlook favoring capital
dispersion and fragmentation of control of the business, many industries and businesses have
been directly affected by the entry of new capital. In several cases the entry of new capital is
not restricted to purely investment of resources, but influence the management of companies,
for example, prioritizing the adoption of Corporate Governance as a necessary instrument to
regulate the relations among more actors. As a result of these new practices, values, structures
and culture are modified starting to integrate new models of standardization of organizational
action.
Through research conducted in the field in two sugarcane industries, one of family
fully control and another of mixed control, aimed from the analysis of the results pertaining to
two specific organizational actions: professionalization and dispersion of capital verify the
value of the Social Capital in organizational environments surveyed focusing on the
importance of this concept in the processes of insertion, performance and career advancement.
In the surveyed companies, strong correlations were observed between new
organizational processes and revaluation of Social Capital contradicting the initial
expectations that the professionalization and dispersion of capital could undermine its
importance. Moreover, the concept also showed his productive character in relation to the
processes of insertion, performance and career advancement valuing the importance of it in
the sugar and alcohol sector. Although the Social Capital is present in both surveyed
professional environments, is apprehended differently in the two companies.
