COURSES IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: DOCUMENTARY ANALYSIS

Abstract

The aims of this research were to: (a) identify historical and institutional frameworks that guide the courses of Human Resource Management (HRM); (b) analyze the Pedagogical Course Projects (PCPs); (c) identify the professors' profile. The theoretical framework is the psychosociology perspective with a institutionalist slope. We conducted documentary research from (a) deliberations of the National Council of Education; (b) federal laws; (c) PCPs of HRM. We identified the following as institutional landmarks: (a) assistentialism and moralistic characteristics; (b) duality of the educational system; (c) increasing the responsibility of the private sector; (d) linking with the economic and technological development. The conclusion is that the support of public policies, distinction of the professional profile and demand leads to questioning the existence and maintenance of HRM courses, whether arising from changes in the world of work and/or from the intention to promote the market for undergraduate education in the country.
