A percepção dos representantes dos conselhos profissionais do Ceará acerca da profissão de secretário executivo.

Abstract

The Executive Secretariat formation offers, among its possible lines of professional performance, the ability to act as an advisor, providing interdisciplinary knowledge and skills that allow him to perform in functions far beyond the technical experience before experiencied. This study aims to investigate the knowledge of the legal representatives of Professional Councils in Ceará about the legal exercise of the profession of executive secretary. This is a qualitative, descriptive research conducted through semi-open interview with nine representatives of professional Councils in the state of Ceará. The interviews were recorded using a script as a research tool. The transcribed audios were analyzed by content analysis. The data obtained showed that the attributions, competencies and áreas of knowledge of professionals who act as advisors to the presidency / board of directors of Ceará’s professional Councils correspond to those established by the legislation of the profession of executive secretary and, despite the majority of respondentes do know the profession, they do not have executive secretaries acting as their advisors. This phenomenon occurs given the lack of knowledge of all interviewed representatives about Law No. 7.377/85, which regulates the professions of the Secretariat.
