The current configurations and demands of the market have impacted the performance of professionals from different areas, among them, those of the Executive Secretariat. In this context, seeking new niches of performance is an important alternative. Thus, this study tries to answer the following research question: Do the skills developed by executive secretaries allow the insertion of these professionals in the context of rural management? To answer this question, the present study aims to analyze whether the skills of secretarial professionals can be absorbed in the management of rural properties. The option for the rural context is justified, since the agribusiness sector is one of the most dynamic in the Brazilian and Paraná economy, presenting itself as a possible locus of alternative action to the executive secretaries. To achieve the objective, based on qualitative research, of an exploratory character, a theoretical review was initially developed about the competences of the executive secretariat professional. Subsequently, through the application of questionnaires to a sample of managers of rural enterprises in Toledo-PR, was possible to understand the skills of a rural manager. The results demonstrate that the characteristics of a rural manager present similarities with those of executive secretaries, so that the management of rural properties is shown as a possible locus of action for these professionals.

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on how the new models of collaborative economy can have an impact on the development of the executive secretarial profession. As a justification for the development of the present study, there is the fact that contemporary organizations are taking on new shapes, such as cirtual structures and collaborative management models, which requires adjustments in the performance of executive secretaries and, therefore, to understand and adapt to the new scenario. Thereby, identifying and analyzing the insertion and performance of executive secretarial professionals in organizational contexts linked to collaborative economics, specifically in coworking environments in the state of Paraná, is the objective of the present study. The methodological construct outlined occurred through a theoretical review, contextualizing different conceptual perspectives of the collaborative economy, locating the executive secretariat in the process of contemporary expansion of this phenomenon, in addition to documentary and field research, developed from the application of questionnaires to managers of coworking environments in state. The main results are the fact that this form of organization has space for professionals in the area who work both performing technical activities and complex activities of advisory, management and entrepreneurship.
