The Undergraduate Center of the Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration (FGV/EBAPE) will hold, on May 5, the lecture Um debate sobre a superação do tipo ideal burocrático na sociedade atual? (A debate about overcoming the ideal bureaucratic type in today's society), with the director of the School, Flavio Vasconcelos.The meeting will build on the article Racionalidade, autoridade e burocracia: as bases da definição de um tipo organizacional pós-burocrático? (Rationality, authority and bureaucracy: the basis of the definition of a post-bureaucratic organizational type), in which Flavio draws a theoretical review of the concepts of bureaucracy and the conditions of emergence of a post-bureaucratic model of organization. According to the director, in this new organizational model people would work totally different from the model interpreted and popularized by the German sociologist Max Weber, acknowledging the collective and organic nature of the work and continuously redefining roles, tasks and goals depending on the unstable environment in which they work. In these organizations, the personal commitment which goes beyond the formal responsibilities of the positions is valued. Moreover, communication, control and authority structures in the network are adopted and authority is seen as a result of not only the formal characteristics of the position, but also the capacity and personal leadership of employees, he explained.The event - oriented at all students and alumni of FGV/EBAPE - will also make room to discuss research possibilities.The lecture will take place at FGV's main offices, in Botafogo, at 3 pm.
