Type: article
Abstract: This work (descriptive and quantitative) investigates the reasons that lead members of a credit union in Belo Horizonte to delegate their decision-making power to other members of the organization. They were highlighted in the theoretical reference: Lechatii (2005), Singer (2010) and Ventura (2009), subsidizing the reflections on the theme associativist economy. Through a case study, a questionnaire was applied to the cooperative in a credit cooperative that adopts the management by delegation. Credit unions present themselves as an alternative in the construction of citizenship, in the process of financial intermediation, and it inserts the marginalized in the economy, promoting their entrepreneurial capacity and obtaining credit. They are complex organizations with diffuse ownership, hindering the direct participation of all in the management process. In this context, the process of delegation of competences occurs, through the choice of delegates. The lack of time and lack of knowledge were pointed out as the main reasons for the delegation to take place. In addition, the good reputation of the delegate candidates, their efforts to monitor the activities of the cooperative, and the difficulty in monitoring the agents affect the delegation of the right of control.
