Valores religiosos e práticas de gestão: um estudo de caso em uma organização do setor de combustíveis

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how religious values influence management practices in an organization in the fuel sector, using Rede de Postos Marajó as a case study. Methodologically, this is an exploratory and descriptive study with a qualitative and quantitative approach, developed through a case study, literature review, semi-structured interview with the company’s founder, and the application of a questionnaire to administrative employees. The results indicate that religious values influence organizational culture and management practices, being expressed through moments of prayer, daily liturgical activities, and the promotion of principles such as faith, love, ethics, and respect. Employees perceive these practices positively, associating them with improvements in the organizational climate, motivation, and interpersonal relationships. It is concluded that religious values constitute a relevant component of the company’s organizational identity, contributing to the strengthening of organizational culture and human relationships when conducted respectfully and without imposing beliefs on employees.
