Gestão de pessoas na engenharia civil: mapeamento dos conhecimentos requeridos e existentes de gestão de pessoas em uma construtora paulista

Abstract

People management is an intrinsic theme in the daily life of a civil engineer, requiring mastery and constant updating of these professionals to achieve desirable results with their teams. Therefore, this work is justified by the importance of the topic for the sustained success of an organization versus the gap in knowledge and theoretical education of professionals in this area, in addition to the particularities of the study locus. The objective is to map the pre-existing knowledge of the civil engineers in the studied company, comparing it with what is required by senior management and the bibliographic and normative information studied. To achieve these objectives, a survey was conducted with civil engineers and senior management members of the organization, followed by statistical tests to confirm the raised theories. The results indicated a gap in the theoretical knowledge of the company's employees, referred to as Company A, while this result did not apply to senior management members. However, both groups showed misalignment with the internal ranking established by the board of directors. Therefore, it is concluded that the lack of theoretical knowledge about people management may be linked to the low level of formal education on the topic in the training of civil engineers, resulting in internal misalignments and difficulties in working with their teams. It is recommended that the organization invest in people management classes for its employees, aiming for greater internal alignment and solid preparation of future leaders, reducing dissatisfaction and turnover, thus ensuring the sustained success of the company.
