Abstract

Society expects a democratic orientation of the public administration managers based on the concepts of citizenship and the participation of all layers of society as components of democratic governments, we combine the approaches and interests focused by the administrative reforms of the public sector which aim at the creation of a citizen-state. This work deals with the strategic managers of the administrative systems of the structure of the government of Rio de Janeiro State. We have studied their own vision of public administration and their behavior while facing the challenges and priorities of public functions. One of the main aspects we wished to stress in this study were the principles, ethical values and responsibility encompassed by management, represented by the degree of accountability of the managers, who presently can rely on a wide variety of resources found in the new technologies of information and communication. This is an analysis of the civic capacity or the civic culture we wish will be developed in strategical management, in the present case oriented to educational activities based on the abilities and skills required to achieve a suitable and creative performance. We hope the results reported in this study may be a contribution and subsidy for new formulations for the benefit of an effectively democratic management
