Abstract

This research work aims to understand the role of school management in the face of the challenges that arise in the interpersonal relationship of the professionals of a school, the municipal network of Nova Candelária / RS. It is a qualitative-quantitative research, with research methodology of the case study type, according to Yin (2001). The theoretical contribution of the study was based on already published works on democratic school management and interpersonal relations, being the main authors Castilho (1996), Lück (2006; 2008) and Ferreira (2007). To collect data, a questionnaire was used as a research tool, delivered to all school employees. As a result, it was observed that the role of mediator of work, which happens in the school space, is the responsibility of the manager, and that the consolidation of democratic school management is a positive factor in the construction of interpersonal relations, favorable in the work environment, since this gives the management team greater autonomy to perform its function. In this direction, the decentralization of power, based on the principles of democratic school management, guarantees a collaborative work with the school community and the group of professionals, favoring the effective participation of all and making them valued and heard during the course the process.
