THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN THE COMPANY THROUGH THE ARTICULATION OF TEAMS: AN INTEGRATED AND EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The present article proposes an approach integrated among the taxonomies of the environmental management in the company and the evolutionary stages of the team work. For such, the principal proposals of evolution of the environmental management found in the specialized literature were articulated with the possible categories of the work teams. The environmental management in the company tends to be supported by the constitution of several types of teams, and when it develops to a superior performance, the team work tends to evolve with it. Thus, in one of the extremes of this reflection, the strategic environmental management tends to be aided by the formation of teams of high acting. The article contributes with the literature that integrates the team work and the environmental management, which is still extremely scarce, mainly in what concerns to the Brazilian scientific production. It still develops an evolutionary perspective of those variables, which supplies subsidies so that organizational leaders and researchers in administration can understand the current managerial maturity and the necessary efforts to reach a superior environmental acting.
