Abstract

Enterpreneurism in startups appears in a scenery that is not at all widly explored by scientific investigation in Brazil. The present dissertation aims at analizing the experiencies of enterpreneurs related to work relations in startups in an Incubator located in the Central-West region of Brazil, having the psychodynamics of work as basis. A case study of descriptive and explanatory nature is provided. It shows eight enterpreneurs from six Startups in an Incubator. Data collecting was accomplished through analysis of documents, individual interviews and presential meeting promoting collective space of discussion. Critical Analysis of Work was used to analyze data collected. The results are presented in three different articles. Article no.1, named "Startups, enterpreneurism or condition of employability?" contexctualizes the theme of Statups under two aspects: first analysis of the situation of employment, of the decent employment, and the precariousness of work in present times. They have as basis the guidelines and statistic data from specialized agencies: ILO e WHO; second: presenting review and conceptual and contextual analysis of enterpreneurism in startups and its environment. This was accomplished through data base from published literature from CAPES/MEC and atricles published in Harvard Business Review.

Those forms of work organization, which are based on individualization, reach their maximum momentum in the enterpreneurism in Startups. Work relations are restricted to business partners, family members and clients, reffered as a competitive and unstable environment. This whole set of situation place the enterpreneurs in a scenery of uncertainty and insecurity that might lead them to isolation and to depression. Article no. 3, named "Between Dream and "The Real" -- Subjective Mobilization of Statup enterpreneurs" analyzes the enterpreneur's subjective mobilization. It indicates that the technical formation is the basis on what the enterpreneur mobilizes their creative intelligence, and experiments with autonomy and freedom, hence conducting an inovative proposal that comes from their values connected to the common welfare and social commitment. Experiences of suffering are related to the pressures and work overload percieved in the demands for multifunctionality suffering is experienced in the delay of recognition towards the construction of the work organization that is "yet to come". a work organization that is "yet to come", innovation facing the absence of processes."
