Abstract

This work aims making a diagnosis of the current condition of participation in decision-making process of technical-administrative employees (TAs) in the Coordination of Graduation Courses of the Center for Education and Human Sciences (CECH) of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). There was also a survey of the impressions of these servers in relation to their skills, working conditions and training. The motivation for this study was based on the interest of the team in charge of CECH Management in carrying out strategic planning in this unit. The "academic" character of the management of this Center of UFSCar, over the years was being left aside because of the need to carry out the administrative management of it. The current management understands that it is time to retake the academic protagonism of the Center, based on the tripod "Teaching, Research and Extension". For this, it is necessary that the administrative management of the Center operate efficiently and competently. In this aspect the role played by the TAs becomes fundamental. In order to delimit the field of study of this work, it was decided to consider the 11 technical- administrative servers working in the 11 Coordination of the Undergraduate Courses of CECH. This is a descriptive and exploratory study case with the purpose of producing a state-of-the- art diagnosis of the participation of TAs in CECH decision-making processes, creating part of the necessary bases and guidelines for the future implementation of strategic planning in the Center, aiming to guide its future actions of research, teaching and extension. This research contributes to future actions of Planning and Participatory Management in CECH.
