Abstract

The objective of this research was to study the impact of retirement on the life of researchers and on intellectual capital management of the IFBA, in order to understand the aspects that influence the retirement decision making and expectations of a group of teachers after retirement, as well as to verify how these departures can influence the human capital management of a science and technology institution in order to propose alternatives for the use of this capital for the benefit of knowledge production. Methodologically, this research has a qualitative nature of descriptive type, carried out by means of a case study and semistructured interview as research instrument and technique. The chosen group was composed of 11 retired teachers and statutory assets under retirement conditions, with scientific and technological production in the innovation area. In order to compose the theoretical basis of the research, articles, dissertations, theses, books, management reports, resolutions, social security legislation and other materials were included. The literature review was carried out using the following descriptors: intellectual capital, innovation, intellectual property, knowledge, retirement, federal public service, IFBA. The results of the research showed that the prospective of loss of rights is the main external factor that can boost the retirement decision currently. It was noted the interest of the interviewees to continue participating in institutional activities in the areas of research, post-graduation teaching and extension after retirement, motivated by the continuity of work and appreciation of the institution. It was possible to demonstrate the panorama of the scientific and technological production of the Federal Institute of Science and Technology of Bahia (IFBA), in which the researcher plays a preponderant role, a function that should be stimulated in organizations. Therefore, the management of intellectual capital should be seen as an institutional strategy tool necessary to increase knowledge generation, raise the innovation level and close the productive loop.
