I carried out three distinct and interconnected studies, each with its conceptual development and methods. In the first study, I carried out a bibliometric analysis using matching and cocitation techniques to analyze the knowledge bases, trends, and possible paths for the field of Attention-based View (ABV). This study enabled me to understand the structural and intellectual influences and the evolution and trends in research related to the topic. The second and third studies are considered experiments. In the second study, I evaluated the effect of training (as a proxy for the function) on managerial attention and the individual characteristics of future managers, students from Administration and Accounting courses at federal universities. The professional profile of these individuals influences the choice of information (AOI) for the allocation of care. In the organizational environment (internship), the structural distribution of attention influences the choice of information (AOI). In the third study, looking for external validity, I evaluate the effect of function/position on managerial care and the individual characteristics of professionals working in organizations. It concludes that the professional profile of managers influences the choice of information (AOI) for the allocation of care. This thesis contributes to the advancement of knowledge, considering that, through empirical research, it was possible to identify the aspects of the structural distribution of care that influence the attention of individuals in organizations. Individuals make decisions or develop strategies using the information that the environment in which they live provides, also because of the way they allocate attention in this space, understanding that their initial training becomes less relevant than their professional profile, which is shaped based on their experiences and professional practices. Depending on the area or sector in which the individual works, one piece of information will be perceived and interpreted or taken into account differently from the other because it allocates its attention and has processes of perception and analysis that can be influenced, others not.", publisher = {Universidade Nove de Julho}, scholl = {Programa de Pós-Graduação em Administração}, note = {Administração} }
