Vocación del servicio en Colombia y nuevas formas de colonialismo en la lógica managerial.

This paper exposes the results of ethnographic and documental analysis research. The hypothesis argues that the vocation of civil servant came into the National public management as part of administrative reforms set guided by the managerial logic, adopted by Colombian governments to attend the international organizations requirements, thus configuring a new way of epistemic colonialism. The conclusion is that in the institutional practices and speeches that define and prescribe the service vocation this is assumed as a normal attribute of the civil servants, and thus, service vocation could be incentivized no mater the objective conditions of labor.
