Processo de integração: na encruzilhada entre o sector informal e a cultura organizacional

Abstract

In the present study, I explore the process of integrating sellers in the Mercado do Fomento, the from the relationship between organizational culture and the informal sector. Data collection was done at Mercado Fomento based on the ethnographic method coupled with observation, semi-interviews structured and informal conversations. In the fieldwork, I interviewed market vendors, the supervisor, the secretary and his deputies. The exercise of seeing, hearing and living with the research participants allowed us to understand that the integration of the new sellers of the Mercado Fomento occurs from the moment that the they begin to master the skills, standards and procedures that guide the functioning of the market. The practices developed in the Fomento market, as are the cases xitique, txintxela and product price marking, demonstrate how people grasp the rules that govern the functioning of the market and develop creative ways to organize themselves. The existence of documents produced by the Municipality to guide the activities carried out in the Mercado Fomento and its day-to-day manipulation, demonstrates that the standards developed by the Municipality are not followed unilinearly by market vendors. These in your interaction and interaction with the agents of the Municipality develop creative ways of organize themselves. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
