DIFICULDADES ENTRE RACIONALIDADE INSTRUMENTAL E RACIONALIDADE SUBSTANTIVA NA PRÁTICA GESTIONÁRIA DE PROFISSIONAIS FORMADOS EM CURSO DE GRADUAÇÃO EM ADMINISTRAÇÃO

Abstract

The present investigation of theoretical-bibliographic-documental aspect was developed on the basis of the dialectic method. Treats with the theme difficulties between instrumental rationality and substantive rationality in the management practice of professionals formed in administration's graduation degree. It focuses on the science and the technique's advance, in with the manager, when size the knowledge technologies, runs with efficiency the modern productive organizations, with the objective of gain profit with effectiveness in the effectivity of the surplus extraction. In this sense, the manager takes part of a group of professionals that maintains the logic of the production relations of capitalist society. This study looked for understand the relation of the manager and the capitalist mode of production with the current state of the work depreciation, in a society sustained by the market laws that imposes to many the rights deprivation, the unemployment anguish, transforming them into "socials ungrouped". Here comes the inquiry: The tension between the substantive rationality and the instrumental rationality leads the professional formed in administration's graduation degree to act in a way that violent his human condition? The tension between substantive rationality and instrumental rationality that goes through the manager's day by day in his management practices of the modern organizations was analyzed from the development on the comparative study with regard to the influences of the referred rationalities in the act of the manager formed in full graduation degree. It demonstrates that the philosophical basis of the modern science in his rational instrumental side is the main theoretical set of formation and qualification of the manager, endowing him with a profile appropriated to the laws of the market society, at the same time that transforms him into an instrument of the capitalists to keep the logic of the production relations of the contemporary world. This occurs, remarkably, because of the "semiformation" that he was submitted. Owner of an acritical formation, the manager has difficulties to exercise the auto-reflection. Therefore, the manager is taken to see the other people and himself as things, because the society that he serves, itself transformed in a thing, has under its commands every social imperatives that just counts and measures results. Things are measured and evaluated by the supply and demand market law, determining his exchanging value, in a dynamic known as fetish of the goods (MARX, 1978). The opposite way can be tracked by the alternative of formative experiences, in which the education headed to the critical auto-reflection favors the transformation of the individual in subject. It suggests, therefore, in this dissertation that the manager theoreticals, the coordinators, teachers and students of the Administration's graduation degree look for deepen their knowledge of the substantive rationality, having in sight what was demonstrated in this work: in the day by day of the manager practice the behaviors of the members of a productive group are not unilaterals, they shift into actions moved by instrumental and substantive rationalities, perpetuating the tense duality between both rationalities.
