MENICHELLI, Fernando  and  MILANESI, Gastón. El enfoque cualitativo en el estudio de representaciones sobre el trabajo en sujetos privados de la libertad. Escr. Contab. Adm. [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.1, pp. 13-32. ISSN 1853-2055.

This research seeks to explore and describe changes in the psychic representations about work of a group of inmates⁵ participating in an institutional work program. Based on a qualitative approach, this study uses life history as a research method and semi-directed interview as a data collection technique. Applying life history in administration is meant to be a contribution to the field. Five inmates are examined through in-depth interviews at different chronological times during their participation in the work program. The results obtained provide both executives, or managers, and companies involved with such groups with relevant information either to define and develop prison treatment policies or to develop human resource practices.
