As mulheres conforme a administração: uma ciência para a manutenção da opressão e da exploração?

Abstract

The objective was to analyze how modern studies in the field of administrative sciences whose object of analysis is women in labor relations explain the inequalities between being a working man and being a working woman. To this end, it was made a theoretical exposition about modern scientificity and also the main aspects that permeate the issue of oppression of women was exposed. From a bibliometric survey on the theme “woman” in the field of Administration, and subsequent analysis of qualitative aspects of the texts we found an analytical corpus distributed by subarea and approach, which t made it possible the emersion of the analytical categories “motherhood and homecare” and “femininity versus masculinity”. We conclude that such studies on the subject are recent and scarce, but represent a potential for women’s struggle since the agenda is legitimate whilst scientific. However, they also represent a limitation, because scientific rationality imposes itself over the real, and even those articles that present themselves as critical ones end up, in part, contributing to the naturalization of this oppression
