Purpose This paper aims to propose the phenomenography as an approach that may contribute to the organizational studies based on the practice perspective, considering that it analyzes the phenomenon through the practitioner’s view and experience. Design/methodology/approach It is a theoretical essay about phenomenography as a theoretical-methodological perspective, considering its concept, its relation with practice theories and how its theoretical-methodological approach is capable of bringing a new perspective over the organizations, in the practice perspective. Findings The phenomenographic method, together with the practice perspective, enables mapping, identifying, describing and relating all the different ways by which an organization, in each one of its structuring dimensions, is effectively experienced. It argues that aspects such as the phenomenographic interview, the second-order perspective, the collective conceptions stated in the outcome space and their relations, the complexity of hierarchy and the abductive theorization about the emerging concepts of collective perceptions form, all together, an alternative and promising theoretical approach to analyze the entanglement between action and the material dimension that constitutes the organizational practices. Practical implications The phenomenographic outcome space may become a catalyst of a theorization about practices, which is capable to modify them or modify the way they are understood. Originality/value It discusses the possibility of phenomenography to theorize from the agents’ collective consciousness.
<p>Este estudo de caso, de natureza qualitativa, objetivou investigar os fatores intervenientes na formação de competências gerenciais. Para tanto, foram entrevistados 14 empregados participantes do Programa de Desenvolvimento Gerencial para potenciais gestores da Unidade de Serviços Compartilhados de uma empresa brasileira atuante no ramo de energia integrada. Os resultados apontaram que os fatores intervenientes derivam de três categorias inter-relacionadas: o Conceito de Unidade de Serviços Compartilhados as Competências Gerenciais Requeridas e o Processo de Formação das Competências Requeridas. Para a formação de Competências Gerenciais, foram valorizadas as atividades práticas e vivenciais, o papel dos gerentes atuais e a necessidade de avaliação e <em>feedback</em>.</p><p>Palavras-chave: Competências.

The purpose of this study was to understand how individuals experience learning in the workplace, and shed light on possible factors that may contribute to an environment conducive to learning in organizations. A phenomenographic approach was chosen with the intention to capture the variation in individuals' learning conceptions. The findings revealed three conceptions of learning: Learning resulting in individual change; learning resulting in collective practice (routine) change; and learning resulting in innovation. Those conceptions were explained by five explanatory dimensions: learning concept; learning drivers; learning content; learning means; learning obstacles; and learning meanings. The unveiling of how different learning experiences generate different levels of impacts on organizations and the proposal of some ways to enhance the transit from less complex learning experiences to more complex ones are the main contribution of this paper. ResumoO objetivo desse estudo foi compreender como indivíduos experienciam a aprendizagem no trabalho, e lançar luz sobre possíveis fatores que contribuem para um ambiente favorável à aprendizagem nas organizações. A abordagem fenomenográfica foi escolhida com a intenção de capturar a variação nas concepções de aprendizagem dos indivíduos. Os resultados revelaram três concepções: aprendizagem que resulta em mudança individual; aprendizagem que resulta em mudança da prática coletiva (rotina); e aprendizagem que resulta em inovação. Essas concepções foram explicadas por cinco dimensões: conceito de aprendizagem; motivadores da aprendizagem; conteúdo da aprendizagem; método da aprendizagem; obstáculos para aprendizagem; e significado da aprendizagem. Desvelar como diferentes experiências de aprendizagem geram diferentes níveis de impacto nas organizações e apresentar formas de facilitar o trânsito das concepções menos complexas para as mais complexas são as principais contribuições desse artigo.Palavras-chave: Aprendizagem organizacional.
