Produção acadêmica sobre cultura organizacional em escolas de educação básica no Brasil de 2006-2020
Abstract
This dissertation derives from an investigation which was developed within the Study and
Research Group on School Organization: Democracy, Human Rights and Principals’
development - DEFORGES. Organizational culture in Brazilian schools was its theme, having
as its problem the following question: how is the academic production on organizational culture
configured in basic education schools in Brazil? Thus, the general objective was to understand
the theoretical and methodological approaches to the subject in the articles, dissertations and
thesis that constitute this production and the specific objectives were to map research on this
theme from 2006 to 2020, systematizing its theoretical references, methodological procedures,
and conclusions, and to analyze the theoretical matrices referring to culture in these studies.
The methodological approach was the bibliographic one, carried out on SciELO and CAPES
Theses and Dissertations Repository digital databases. Critical theoretical framework guided
the results analysis, which indicated that: the most used research design was the case study; the
most used data collection instrument was document analysis followed by semi-structured
interviews; the most investigated level of education was elementary school followed by high
school in public municipal and state institutions. The references of Edgar Schein, António
Nóvoa and Heloísa Lück also stood out. In addition, it was possible to observe that the
organizational culture was worked in relation to several topics, the most frequent being school
management, change processes, democratic management, and school performance. In most of
the works, the study of organizational culture was developed to analyze the school reality,
relating to, and facilitating investigations on several other topics, being able to show the
subjects' autonomy and their possibilities of construction and reconstruction of organizational
culture. It was concluded that organizational culture is a concept that can contribute to research
on schools, especially those that seek to investigate their dynamics, functioning and
relationships. In addition, it became evident that organizational culture in the context of
Brazilian education is still a yet to be explored theme that has the potential to subsidize school
administration in its daily practices.
