SUMMARY:

The proposal of this paper is to debate how the concept of efficiency has implications beyond an input and output relation or even a simple financial relation in the public administration. On which it’s relevant to be able to identify demands from the sectors of society through a financial efficiency of the state apparatus, it’s comprehended in this paper that said procedure comes from symbolic disputes, having in mind that the financial aspect assumes varied relevancies in different sectors of society. It´s understood ,therefore, the society as being formed by a more wide cosmos and also constituted by social fields that differentiate among itself through their own organizations of specific valuing of economic, symbolic, cultural aspects among other, through which the agents dispute positions (Pierre Bourdieu). Therefore, even though the preponderance of links to the economic aspect, the concept of efficiency also has other aspects, in a way that, beyond the expression of a linked neutrality to a a technical application, there are strong symbolic aspects. These aspects are constituted socially in correlations with dynamics that bond themselves to a speech of domination decurrent of capitalist periods. At this case, the paper highlights identifying practice reasonings of the Fordist period and of the capitalism’s neoliberal face, considering the state’s relation with the production, private bureaucracy management methods, the justification of the state´s actions, the relation and discipline of the individual. That said, the paper is based in the empiric research that chooses to analyze aspects of the social representation of efficiency in the public administration, having the research’s target audience Federal Auditors of Financials and Control – AFFC – and managers of federal agencies  at the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Methodologically we start from individual semi structured interviews, on which we can raise their own conceptions expressed through individual representations, so from there we utilize Lefevre & Lefevre’s Discourse of the Collective Subject  technique to identify elements of social representation of efficiency of the target audience which are analyzed considering Bourdieu’s concepts. As a result, it has been constated that the target audience’s social representations of efficiency comprehend the financial aspect, but there are other aspects also.
