Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the configuration of the training and development of managers in the sector of telecommunications according to the concepts of 6 participants. The methodology was organized as a qualitative descriptive research. The field research was to collect information and knowledge using interviews half-structuralized in the thematic modality. The inquiry which was carried out in the branch offices of the cellular phone service companies (A, B and C) in the cities of Teresina, Piauí and Fortaleza, Ceará, had as specific objectives to perform research in regards to the perspective of the managers, the characteristics of the training processes and development of managers in the organizations of the sector of telecommunications, to view the nexuses between the training and development of existing managers in these organizations and the ideas of these thematic proposals for the theoreticians and to analyze which was the existing relationship between the training and development of managers and the strategies of their organizations. The primary authors used in this study were Milkovich and Boudreau. The analysis of the interviews confirms the estimated ideas and points out that in the target organizations the training and development of managers carried through is not systematic, not continuous and more centered upon the training technician; that the process of training and development of managers carried through in these organizations diverge from the models considered by the theoreticians and that the training and development of managers is not lined up to the organizational strategies of the related institutions.
