Uso comum de recursos em organizações coletivistas: caso Bendita Colab

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze how the common use of resources occurs in collectivist organizations. Specifically seeks to describe the logic of collectivist work, identify what are the shared resources, which mechanisms of sharing, and thus better understand the practices of common use of resources in a collectivist environment from the perspectives of reciprocity, reputation and trust. The object studied in this dissertation research is the Bendita Colab Collaborative Shop, which approaches the characteristics of collectivist organization in addition to exercising the sharing of resources. This is a unique case study of intrinsic value and of a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory nature. In which, first, the chosen organization, Bendita Colab, was described, where it was identified that this is a collectivist organization with the common use of resources, before the mechanisms of reciprocity, reputation and trust. All theoretical basis comes from studies of collectivist organizations and the common use of resources in collective actions, which are organizations that establish contradictions to the utilitarian logic, unlimited growth and the search for maximum efficiency, dominant in the market economy. We recognize in this study that the blessed owners are catalysts in the common use of resources, thus playing a central role within this organization. The results allow us to point out that several times there is an oscillation between a traditional bureaucratic model and the collectivist model within the Bendita Colab. These oscillations are evidenced in relation to Blendita's mode of organization as well as the common use of resources. Evidence of this oscillation is found in rational (formal) and non-rational (affective) relationships, where depending on the trust, reputation and reciprocity achieved by the craftsman in the house, he may have greater or lesser autonomy. Thus the more the mechanisms that regulate the common use of resources lean towards the non-rational (affective) pole, the greater the autonomy of artisans in the common use of resources. On the other hand, how much, but the mechanisms of trust, reputation and reciprocity lean towards the rational (formal) pole less the degree of autonomy.
