Do these two sentences mean the same thing?
No, these do not mean the same thing.

> 部下は課長に残業を頼まれました。  
>  部下 was asked by 課長 to work overtime.
>
> 課長は部下に残業を頼ませました。  
>  課長 made 部下 ask [a third person] to work overtime.

The latter is a "double-causative" sentence involving three people. The former
refers to the same event as the following sentence:

> 課長は部下に残業を頼みました。  
>  課長 asked 部下 to work overtime.
