Contratações temporárias de profissionais técnico administrativos na educação pública

Abstract

Temporary hiring of technical-administrative professionals in public education. The research was conducted in the municipality of Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, through interviews with three public servants — a permanent employee, the head of the department, and a temporary worker — in order to understand how these processes are carried out and perceived by those involved. This is a case study with a qualitative and exploratory approach, using content analysis of the interviews as the main methodological procedure. In addition to the empirical investigation, the study includes a personal account both as a researcher and as a public servant, broadening the understanding of the phenomenon under analysis. The results highlight structural and organizational aspects of temporary hiring, revealing significant implications for educational management. It was observed that the simplified selection process used for these contracts often results in difficulties in task performance, delays in administrative workflows, and a greater need for supervision. The interviews also indicated that the high turnover rate compromises work continuity and increases the workload of permanent staff.
