Over the last few years, the BNDES – a public federal corporation– has gone through several transformations which resulted in an overall renovation of its workforce. In addition to the retirement incentive plan, the company has also greatly expanded its staff, and currently has 58 per cent of its employees with less than 6 years of service, and 79 per cent with less than 10 years. The observation of these transformations in the workforce of this organization inspired this study, which carries as its objective, the identification and comprehension of work values of the BNDES’ employees, as well as the evaluation of the existing differences of these values in relation to the changes in generation, gender and work adaptations. It seeks to better understand specific variations of its current staff, which could assist in the development of more adequate policies that attract, motivate and retain these employees. To accomplish this goal, a survey scaling work values (Porto e Tamayo, 2003) was applied to 262 employees of BNDES, seeking to compare the hierarchy of work values within the employee groups, segragated by generation, gender, and work adaptability. The results of these comparisons revealed insignificant differences within the hierarchy and little differentiation in the intensity of these values in relation to the segregations listed above, making it impossible, with the sample shown here, to observe the influence of generation, gender, or work adaptation in the prioritization of work values.
