Thereby it is discussed the important role played by the organizational culture in public education institutions, as they also present deep rooted cultural elements of politics and national culture. This study is specially based in Prates and Barros (1996), using the model of investigation and analysis of cultural features found in Brazilian companies and that influence their management, the “Brazilian Style of Managing”. For this purpose, desk research, participant observation and semi-structured interviews with former and present teachers, managers, articulators, and educational coordinator were carried out. Features of national culture were identified in the first managements of CEJDC (Educational Center João Durval Carneiro) as abuse of power, mobilization and affectivity. In its process of change to CEEP (State Center for Health and Management Professional Education – Guanambi-BA) those features were modified, others were produced that influenced the current management and the operation of the whole school community, either complicating or facilitating the change. The research can be used by other Centers of Productive Backland that face problems which generate similar situations, as one more element of analysis, comparison and discussion for the production of new knowledge and strategies of change. / O presente estudo analisa como elementos da cultura organizacional do Centro Estadual de Educação Profissional em Saúde e Gestão – CEEP influenciaram e influenciam no processo da mudança pelo qual passa a instituição. Com isso, discute-se a relevância do papel desempenhado pela cultura organizacional nas instituições públicas de ensino, por estas apresentarem, também, elementos culturais mais arraigados da política e da cultura nacional. Este estudo se fundamenta, especialmente, em Prates e Barros (1996), utilizando o modelo de investigação e análise dos traços culturais encontrados nas organizações brasileiras e que influenciam nas suas gestões, o “Estilo Brasileiro de Administrar”. Para este fim foram realizadas pesquisa documental, observações participantes e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com professores, gestores, articuladores dos eixos tecnológicos e coordenação pedagógica, antigos e atuais. Foram identificados traços da cultura nacional nas primeiras gestões do CEJDC (Centro Educacional João Durval Carneiro), como abuso de poder, mobilização e afetividade. No seu processo de mudança para CEEP (Centro Estadual de Educação Profissional em Saúde e Gestão – Guanambi-BA) estes traços foram modificados, produzindo e criando outros que influenciam a gestão atual e o proceder de toda a comunidade escolar, ora dificultando, ora facilitando a mudança. A pesquisa poderá ser utilizada por outros Centros do Sertão Produtivo, que enfrentam problemas que geram situações análogas, como mais um elemento de análise, comparação e discussão, para produção de novos conhecimentos e estratégias de mudança. / This paper aims at analyzing how the organizational culture elements of the State Center for Health and Management Professional Education – CEEP influenced and influence the process of change experienced by the institution.
