Inteligência artificial e gestão algorítmica do trabalho os limites do poder diretivo do empregador e a tutela dos direitos fundamentais do trabalhador: uma revisão integrativa.

This study aimed to examine the transformations caused by artificial intelligence and algorithmic management in the exercise of the employer's managerial power, seeking to understand the legal limits required to protect workers' fundamental rights in employment relations. This is an integrative literature review with a qualitative and descriptive approach, complemented by a legal and normative analysis. Searches were conducted in SciELO Brasil, SPELL, and Sumários.org between August and September 2026, covering publications from the previous five years, corresponding to the period from 2022 to 2026. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 articles composed the final analysis. The results were organized into five thematic axes concerning algorithmic management and new forms of subordination; control, monitoring, and working time; privacy, data protection, transparency, and algorithmic discrimination; worker autonomy and health; and legal limits and protection strategies. The findings showed that algorithmic systems may be involved in recruitment and selection, task allocation, monitoring, performance evaluation, remuneration, and the organization of working time. Risks related to information asymmetry, excessive data processing, opacity of automated decisions, discrimination, and work intensification were also identified. The legal analysis showed that the use of technology does not eliminate the limits imposed on managerial power, while data protection, transparency, proportionality, nondiscrimination, the possibility of reviewing decisions, and accountability for the effects of algorithmic systems remain relevant. It is concluded that artificial intelligence may contribute to the organization of business activities; however, its use in employment relations must remain subject to workers' fundamental rights and to mechanisms capable of making technological power transparent, proportionate, and legally accountable.
