SUMMARY:

In recent decades, public administration has been marked by the rise of managerialism in a neoliberal economic context characterized by precarious employment. Public universities have adopted management models guided by discourses of performance, excellence, and productivity. Given this scenario, the objective of this project is to investigate work well done from the perspective of a team involved in the strategic management of a public higher education institution. To this end, it uses the theoretical and methodological framework of the clinical approach to work (Activity Clinic) to define, analyze, and problematize the elements that characterize this work, with an emphasis on both contributory aspects and obstacles to its completion. The specific objectives are: to mediate the process by which workers develop a definition of what constitutes a job well done in the indicated context; to identify, together with the workers, the elements of professional praxis that favor and hinder strategic management and their relationship to a job well done; to analyze the dialectical relationship between the activities and works that reference the team's work, portraying their impact on the collective and the professional gender; to contribute conceptually to the Activity Clinic based on the context in question; and contribute to the intensification of the theoretical debate regarding the notion of strategy and strategic management of public universities, based on the perspective of the Clinic adopted, in terms of the analysis of the processes of carrying out work activities and work well done. The method included individual and group semi-structured interviews, involving dialogues about the activity, as well as photo workshop and instruction to the double, conducted with employees of a public university. The analysis of all the material obtained was based on analytical tools provided by the Activity Clinic, with the additional support of tools derived from Thematic Content Analysis. The main findings, which impacted the quality of work, the worker, and the institution itself, were the changes observed in the employees' activities throughout the clinical application; the recommendation, made by the subjects, that documents such as plans, policies, and regulations be analyzed during the periodic review of the institutional strategy; the assessment of the suitability of the hybrid (in-person and remote) work modality for the team and its activities, including as a maintainer of the small collective formed; the intertwining of forms of recognition for worker self-recognition; and the confirmation of the existence of intergender professionals, as a complementary concept to the gender concept of the Activity Clinic.
