Summary: In organizational practice management system for competence is used systematically, and is considered an effective model in the management of people to gain productivity (DUTRA, 2004). Research in Brazil point to a diverse range of discussions of the concept of competence and its relationship with some variables, such as organizational learning and reward, which lack theoretical debates and empirical investigation (RUAS et al., 2010; DIAS et al., 2010). However, it is noticeable shortage of studies on the dimensioning of the reflections of the concept of skills in labor relations, which shows the continuity of academic research on this reality. This thesis aims to analyze the application of the concept of competence in models of personnel management and labor in order to elucidate the changes that occur in hierarchical of work, through a qualitative research, a case study organization. We investigated the productive reality of a food industry through semistructured interviews. We discussed the work category as the founder of social practice, as well as its position in the contemporary system of production because the manufacturing division of labor (MARX, 1989; BRAVERMAN, 1987; ANTUNES, 2000, 2005; LUCKÁCS, 2010), and its interrelation with the notion of competence (ZARIFIAN, 2001, 2003; LE BOTERF, 2003), contributing to the formation of theoretical elements that allow the understanding of the complexity of the subject expertise, their materiality and applicability of management systems in organizations contributing to the formation of theoretical elements that allow the understanding of the complexity of the subject expertise, their materiality and applicability of management systems in contemporary organizations. Before this analytical context, made the following questions: To what extent the notion of skills included in the strategies people management determines the Chocolates Garoto the configuration of the hierarchical relationships work? The direction taken by this configuration makes it possible to bring back work to the worker (highlighting their knowledge) or characterized as just another strategy for mobilizing people to meet business objectives? Thus, after analyzing the reality, can say that on the screen has the connotation of bringing back the work to the worker. And while pointing or some changes in reporting relationships work, can not be said come from the integration of skills, first because they are tied to a performance assessment tool that focuses on results. Second, besides being very recent, the company undergoes other changes arising from the multinational company that bought it. Thus, it contributes to the discussion of the contradictions between theory and practice of the concept of skills and points to future research on the construction of its application in organizations become truly flexible, approaching, in fact, implementation of their design work, emptying the abstract work, emptying the abstract work and reproducing its ontological aspect.
