Avaliação das qualificações dos ocupantes de cargos de gestão, na área da logística, em empresas sediadas no distrito agroindustrial de Anápolis – Goiás.

Abstract

This study analyzed the qualifications of those occupying management positions in the area of ​​corporate logistics in companies located in the Anápolis Agroindustrial District (DAIA), in Goiás. To this end, a quantitative research approach was adopted, which was classified as applied, exploratory and descriptive in relation to its objectives. From the perspective of the technical procedure, it was a case study. The field of study was the DAIA, with the population consisting of companies installed and operating in this industrial hub. The sample size for the research was determined by the sample calculation, based on the formula of Barbetta (2001). The sampling adopted was simple random and probabilistic. In view of this, an online questionnaire was used to collect data. This was created in Google Forms, an application for creating and managing forms, and consisted of closed and open questions. The generated form was sent by e-mail to the managers or Human Resources departments of the participating companies. The data collected were processed directly by Google Forms and subsequently analyzed in a text editor and presented in text and graphic formats. A descriptive approach was adopted for the analysis, with consultation of specialized literature and recent empirical articles. However, it was found that, although the Brazilian Classification of Occupations (CBO) lists 16 professional titles for the logistics area, only 11 of them were found in the personnel of the companies analyzed. It was also observed that professionals graduated in the Higher Education Course in Logistics Technology are required at all hierarchical levels of organizations: strategic, tactical and operational. However, even though a high school diploma and basic computer skills are minimum requirements for entry into the area, management positions preferably require technological or technical degrees in Logistics. Therefore, this study aimed to stimulate debates in the academic, scientific and professional spheres about the profile of logistics professionals and their insertion in the job market.
