PRECARIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO NO SERVIÇO PÚBLICO MARANHENSE: Estudo sobre a flexibilização contratual na Fundação da Criança e do Adolescente no período de 2001 a 2021

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the precariousness of work based on the flexibilization of contractual relations for the public service in the state of Maranhão in the context of the third way of neoliberalism, social liberalism, based on the experience of the Maranhão Foundation for Children and Adolescents (FUNAC/MA). The research investigated how the adoption of neoliberal policies and the reform of the state's administrative apparatus impacted on the public service, especially about the flexibilization of contractual ties for public employees. The methodology adopted was based on a qualitative approach, based on the dialectical logic of historical materialism, with bibliographical and documentary research of institutional regulations and legislation related to the Brazilian and Maranhão public services. To approach the specific phenomenon, the time frame included data from 2001 to 2021, of a secondary nature, obtained from FUNAC/MA's institutional databases. Data analysis was carried out using methodological triangulation, combining descriptive statistics with critical interpretation of the documents analyzed, which supported the analysis of the types of employment relationships resulting from contractual flexibilization in the public service. The results show that the precariousness of employment relationships at FUNAC/MA has a negative impact on working conditions and directly affects the quality of the socio-educational policy, reflected in the discontinuity of actions. The research also concluded that the flexibilization of employment contracts and the lack of functional stability compromise the rights of public employees, as well as having an impact on the effectiveness of programs aimed at protecting adolescents under restrictive and deprivation of liberty socio-educational measures.
