This article aims to analyze the career of artisans who work in carving wood. This category of workers was chosen as an object of investigation, because despite the historical, social and cultural importance, there is a shortage of scientific research that analyzes the craftsmanship in Organizational Studies and these professionals' career. The theoretical approach seeks to understand the career of the craftsman from the craft career and creative career. This study is characterized as a qualitative approach, based on interviews with five artisans. The results indicate predominance of male artisans in this activity and maturity relative to the time in the craft. In general, they started in the career by family influence and dedicate themselves exclusively to the craft. In addition, the technological advances have impacted the development of the career through the facilitation in the commercialization. Thus, the present work seeks to contribute to the understanding of the professional career of artisans, as well as to expand scientific publications related to this theme. RESUMENEste artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la carrera de artesanos que trabajan tallando madera.Esta categoría de trabajadores fue elegida como objeto de investigación, pues a pesar de la importancia histórica, social y cultural, se observa escasez de investigaciones científicas que analizan la artesanía a la luz de los Estudios Organizacionales y la carrera de estos profesionales. El referencial teórico abordado busca comprender la carrera del artesano a partir de la carrera de trabajo y carrera creativa. Este estudio se caracteriza como de abordaje cualitativo, realizado a partir de entrevistas con cinco artesanos. Los resultados indican predominancia de artesanos del sexo masculino en esta actividad y madurez relativa al tiempo en el oficio. En general, iniciaron en el oficio por influencia familiar y se dedican exclusivamente a la artesanía. Además, los avances tecnológicos impactaron en el desarrollo de la carrera a través de la facilitación en la comercialización de las piezas. Así, el presente trabajo busca contribuir a la comprensión de la carrera profesional de artesanos, así como a ampliar publicaciones científicas relacionadas con esta temática.Palabras clave: Carrera profesional; Artesanos; Artesanía en madera. INTRODUÇÃOCarreira é uma temática com expressiva abordagem no decorrer do tempo (VASCONCELLOS ET AL., 2016). As bases para o referido estudo emergiram com a Escola de Administração Científica, em um cenário industrial pré-globalizado, em organizações que estabeleciam cargos ligados estritamente a postos de trabalho, no qual se buscavam implementar sistemas de diferenciação. Dentro desse contexto, foi que surgiu a concepção do que seria um trabalho tradicional, que conforme Malvezzi (1999), trata-se da imagem de que emprego e carreira seriam a mesma coisa. Contudo, com a introdução do enfoque pessoal na gestão de carreiras, as concepções que se tinham, até antes da segunda metade do século XX, acabaram sofrendo alterações. ...
PurposeThe challenges of the growth of the sharing economy are becoming more and more noticeable and urgent, especially concerning labor relations (e.g. uberization). The purpose of this paper is to understand what app-based drivers think of working conditions and labor relations.Design/methodology/approachThe research was carried out in three stages: bibliographical and documental research, and two empirical research, a quantitative one with the application of a questionnaire in a sample of 54 respondents and another qualitative one using an interview script with ten drivers. For data analysis, the abductive method and the content analysis technique were used.FindingsThe results reveal they have an exhausting labor routine, by checking that they work more hours per week than those who have a formal job. They are driven mainly by the extra income and flexibility that digital platforms of the sector of shared private transportation can offer, although the costs intrinsic to the activity often affect their revenues significantly.Research limitations/implicationsThe number of answers from women was very small, which hinders the analysis of the potential specificities of women app-based drivers. Future studies could focus on this public for a more precise analysis, to bring the discussion on gender to the working context of app-based drivers.Practical implicationsThe authors’ intention with the research reports was to make them relevant, leading to effective policies concerning working conditions and labor relations in the sharing economy, and to stimulate other surveys to understand the activity of an app-based driver of shared private transportation.Originality/valueThe authors’ research and this article contribute to the discussion on new work relationships, motivations and (dis)satisfaction with the activity, from the perspective of app-based drivers.
