Clima organizacional: o trabalho das lideranças acadêmicas a partir da perspectiva docente no Colégio dos Jesuítas – Juiz de Fora/MG

Abstract

This study focuses on organizational climate, emphasizing the role of management from the perspective of teachers. The central question investigates how academic leaders can effectively manage organizational climate by considering teachers' perceptions. The main objective is to propose organizational climate management practices for academic leaders, based on the analysis of teachers' perceptions. The research was conducted at Colégio dos Jesuítas in Juiz de Fora/MG, part of the Jesuit Education Network, involving representatives from both the teaching staff and academic leadership. A qualitative case study methodology was employed, classified as exploratory-descriptive. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with both teachers and academic managers. The analysis involved interpreting empirical data and establishing connections with the theoretical framework underpinning the research. The results indicate that teachers have a positive perception of the organizational climate at Colégio dos Jesuítas, highlighting the significance of the institution's philosophy and values. However, interviews also identified areas requiring greater attention from management, suggesting points for improvement in managing organizational climate. The discussions with academic leaders revealed a convergence between the perceptions of managers and teachers regarding the organizational climate. Leaders acknowledge their central role in fostering a positive institutional environment and emphasize the importance of collective well-being. The intervention project proposes a framework, presented as a recommendations card, serving as a practical guide for Colégio dos Jesuítas. Finally, it is concluded that the findings of this research can offer important support for critical reflection and effective action by academic leaders, contributing to the construction of a healthier and more stimulating organizational climate, essential for strengthening the educational community.
