Abstract
Abstract This article analyzes the resilience of the public values in the Brazilian public administration’s management models, considering the rules adopted in administrative contracts. This sociological research argues that such public values reflect society’s normative and cultural standards. The study’s theoretical relevance lies in its contribution to understanding the cultural dimension of Brazilian society, recognizing that the law reflects normative standards given the environment in which it is elaborated and enforced. In practice, the study seeks to foster the comprehension of rules, their purposes, and the public ethos that gives identity to the administration. The values attributed to the management models observed in a historical framework were dialogicity, modernization, efficiency, productivity, and professionalization. Finally, administrative contracts are technologies with characteristics of historical models of public management and represent a normative standard that needs improvements.

Summary
This article aims to analyze the resilience of public values, through the rules in force for administrative contracts, in relation to the values of historical models of public management practiced in Brazil. It admits that the management models (Secchi, 2009) available to public managers are subject to cultural influences from the environment in which they are implemented, acquiring their own contours. It is considered that, in Brazilian society, there are both tangible and intangible goods of general interest Such assets acquire the status of public values and should be protected and provided by public policies developed by the government. Public policy models, which have been analyzed as the set of decisions and actions related to the imperative allocation of values of a given political actor (Souza, 2003), are seen as a complex set of arrangements made up of many actors, in which the role of decision-making institutions, power relations, ideas, values, and time is inherent (Almeida, Lia & Gomes, 2019; Sabatier, 2007)
