Alternative Spaces for Work Organization

Tensions on Rationality in Street Art

Abstract

This article aimed to understand how the relationship between rationality and work organization takes place in the context of street art. This is a narrative research, with a qualitative strategy, inductive orientation and exploratory descriptive purpose, where the way of organizing the work was investigated, in light of the rationalities of the artists: Ademir Antunes; Eduardo Marinho; Markos Paullo and Leonir Carvalho de Lima, who approach the characteristics of unconventional forms of work. Theoretical basis was sought in critical studies of administration, which question the predominance of the dominant organizational model, as an ideal type, especially in Guerreiro Ramos' theory and the like, about rationality. It also presents recent studies dedicated to work in the street. From the results, it can be concluded that the street is an alternative work space that reveals different forms of rationalities, whether through the instrumental or substantive relationship, through the tension of the diversities between these relationships.
