In the present study, our attention turned to understanding the objective and subjective conditions of the work process of social workers in social entities in the municipality of Bebedouro. Professional action has already been the object of analysis in several studies, however, less often it seeks to investigate the real working conditions that the Social Worker encounters in his professional routine. Our analysis seeks to understand the work process of Social Work in social entities in order to discard a priori, both the fatalistic tendency that considers the professional space with insurmountable limits, and the messianic tendency that considers the social worker to be an independent professional, with almost autonomy to develop proposals that transform reality, disregarding the true professional insertion in the concrete reality. The two approaches, both fatalistic and messianic, do not reveal social historicity from the realization of men, the particularities of the profession and the elements that make it unique in a given historical moment and in each work process. We then try to answer: who are the professionals who are in the social entities? What are the objective and subjective conditions of professional action in this workspace? What is revealed behind everyday life, what is significant beyond everyday repetition? Our research universe was made up of all social entities regularly registered with the Municipal Council of Social Assistance - CMAS in 2008.
