O Perfil requerido dos profissionais para o nível gerencial em cooperativas

Abstract

Cooperatives are responsible for more and more space in the development of their regions and the economy. This growth requires competent professionals who know how to act in the market and who develop themselves, in order to achieve a competitive advantage. This scenario puts pressure on universities to develop qualified professionals to work in the market. The objective of this work was to identify the skills required for managerial positions in cooperatives on the LinkedIn platform. The research was qualitative, with a descriptive and exploratory nature. For data collection, job vacancies offered on LinkedIn – Brazil were used, using filters to search for the term cooperatives. The searches returned 30 vacancies, of which 25 were selected because they fit the proposal of the work. Subsequently, analyzes were carried out based on the vacancy requirements. The analysis was based on the competency model of managerial roles proposed by Quinn et al (2003), where eight roles are described, namely director, producer, negotiator, innovator, facilitator, mentor, coordinator and monitor, each of which have their respective competencies. The skills of the management roles that most appeared in the requirements of the analyzed vacancies were those of the negotiator. The limitations of the work were due to the small variety of areas of the cooperatives that use the LinkedIn platform for managerial vacancies. The contributions are the possibility of developing the skills of the managerial roles in the demanded requirements, in the universities, to understand the changes in the job market.
