THE PRESENCE OF THE WOMEN INSTRUCTORS AT MANAGEMENT POSITIONS ON UNIVERSITIES IN THE FEDERAL STATE OF MINAS GERAIS

Abstract

The presence of the woman in the labor market is a movement that accented through the decades. However, some studies about gender relations have shown that this movement don't occur in any organizations areas and positions. So, this study had the objective to analise the presence of  the women instructors at management positions on federal universities in the state of Minas Gerais. Thereby, a qualitative research was conducted, in which the data were collected through secondary fonts and analysed by frequency distribution. It was possible to indetify that, in the federal universities in which the survey occurred, most management roles are occupied by men instructors, mainly in high-level hierarchical positions. It was possible to verify, as well, that the ascension at the instructors career can be limited or directed, in other words, focused in areas where they already are a majority. Lastly, it's possible to say that the insertion of women instructors in management roles at federal universities in the state of Minas Gerais still haven't occurred in the same proportions as their insertion in the universities, in postgraduate courses and as instructors.
