Gerencia universitaria desde la experiencia de los actores sociales

Abstract

The university management is conceived as an organization that brings together people with senior management, who oversee the administrative processes related to the substantive functions of teaching, research, and extension, in order to meet the objectives outlined in its strategic planning. The purpose of the thesis is to generate the theoretical framework of university management from the experience of social actors. Inserted in the macro category: learning and human development in the organizations of the Management Sciences Doctorate of the UNEFM. This is a study that was approached from the interpretive paradigm, qualitative approach and hermeneutic phenomenological method of Heidegger (2010) as a logic of action to achieve the description, understanding and interpretation of Dasein (being there) of university management, as necessary means for the emergence of a new theory. Four (04) key informant managers from UNEFM, UNA and UNEFA were selected. Use as data collection techniques the in-depth interview and participant observation as well as qualitative analysis and as an instrument the interview guide, recorder and field diary. Reliability and ethics are part of the criteria of scientific rigor. The processing of the data obtained through the interview was transcribed in the research protocols, allowing the construction of four moments of hermeneutic analysis and the use of Atlas.ti, whose findings emerged sixty-eight (68) attributes (codes). Likewise, they were grouped by families or networks for a total of nine emerging categories that gave rise to the theoretical framework on University Management as a resolution option for the problematic situation. With the integrative and articulating theoretical model called GERUNI that is supported through the metaphor of infinity, university management as a continuous process without beginning or end
