          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Purpose: To analyze the relationship between the rise of the retirement preparation programs (RPP) and the transformations in the ideological environment of organizations associated with the advent of the spirit of neoliberal capitalism. Originality/value: Few studies of Brazilian literature have addressed the dissemination of RPP from critical perspectives and, especially, in the business environment. Most of the research has addressed public institutions. Concerning international literature, the article innovates by associating the rise of the idea of active aging with the thesis of the new spirit of capitalism, developed by Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello. Unlike existing international studies, the analysis focuses on RPP as instruments for disseminating the dominant order in the organizational sphere. Design/methodology/approach: To meet the proposed objectives, qualitative research was carried out. Data were collected from nine informants from five consultancies that work in the structuring of corporate RPP and two companies that have recently structured their programs. A thematic content analysis was performed. Findings: The results reveal that the developed RPP promote conceptions of active aging in line with the new spirit of capitalism and changes in the forms of work organization driven by neoliberalism, which made it possible to conceptualize RPP as an object that incorporates and facilitates the diffusion of active aging and constructing an active retirement. The study advances in the understanding of the implications of new discourses on old age for organizations and stimulates a more critical comprehensionof RPP in public and private organizations.

          RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre a ascensão dos programas de preparação para a aposentadoria (PPA) e as transformações no ambiente ideológico das organizações associadas ao advento do espírito do capitalismo neoliberal. Originalidade/valor: Poucos estudos da literatura brasileira abordaram a difusão dos PPA a partir de perspectivas críticas e, em especial, no ambiente empresarial. A maioria das pesquisas abordou instituições públicas. Em relação à literatura internacional, o texto inova ao associar a ascensão da ideia de envelhecimento ativo à tese do novo espírito do capitalismo, desenvolvida por Luc Boltanski e Ève Chiapello. Diferentemente dos estudos internacionais existentes, a análise enfoca os PPA como instrumentos de difusão da ordem dominante na esfera organizacional. Design/metodologia/abordagem: Para a consecução dos objetivos propostos, uma pesquisa qualitativa foi realizada. Obtiveram-se os dados com nove informantes de cinco consultorias que atuam na estruturação de PPA empresariais e com duas empresas que estruturaram seus programas recentemente. Foi realizada uma análise de conteúdo temática. Resultados: Os resultados revelam que os PPA elaborados promovem concepções de envelhecimento ativo consoantes com o novo espírito do capitalismo e com as alterações nas formas de organização do trabalho impulsionadas pelo neoliberalismo, o que possibilitou conceituar os PPA como um objeto que incorpora e facilita a difusão do envelhecimento ativo e a construção de uma aposentadoria em atividade. O estudo avança na compreensão das implicações dos novos discursos sobre a velhice para as organizações e estimula uma compreensão mais crítica dos PPA nas organizações públicas e privadas.
