Abstract

The Information Science has shown in recent decades important contributions to understanding the Information Literacy (IL) of individuals. However, there is relatively reduced literature about IL in organizations, and very few practical solutions on how to develop IL in this context. To fill this gap, a possible strategy would be use the experiences and theories coming from the Management area, linking them to the field of IL. This approach was explored in some studies (ANGLE, 2003; CAMACHO; TARRAGO, 2006; MIRANDA, 2004; MIRANDA, 2006), but their but their pertinence in conceptual terms has not yet been debated. Thus, this article aims to discuss the possibility of convergence between the IL and the competencies approach existing in the Management area. Thus, a Competence-based People Management model (CPM) was selected - proposed in Dutra (2004) - which was confronted to the literature of IL in organizations. The discussion on the convergence of these two fields indicates that there is consistency in proposing the treatment of IL by CPM, and the concepts and the CPM mechanics are not only converging with the IL as well as provide practical solutions to the problems anticipated by literature. Therefore, it is concluded that the insertion and development of IL in organizations through CPM is conceptually feasible and presents relevant practical advantages.

Highlights

  • No entanto, apesar do entendimento generalizado do papel essencial da Competência em Informação (CoInfo) no mundo do trabalho, a porção da literatura da área dedicada a esse assunto é relativamente pequena

  • Dentro desse subconjunto de trabalhos, apenas uma exígua fração diz respeito ao efetivo desenvolvimento da CoInfo no contexto organizacional, e as soluções existentes são pontuais e incipientes

  • Considerando que a complexidade se aplica a todos os espaços ocupacionais de uma organização, a inserção da Complexidade Informacional por Dutra representa a visão de que todos numa organização estão envolvidos com o tratamento das informações relacionadas às ações organizacionais, cada qual em seu nível de complexidade
