Valores organizacionais e do trabalho: semelhanças, diferenças e tendências entre jovens aprendizes de São Paulo (SP)

Abstract

This study sought to analyze the organizational values and the work values in the perception of young apprentices from two regions of the city of São Paulo (SP, Brazil): a neighborhood in the Center (central region) and another in Sumaré (east/south region). For the developmentof this study, 766 questionnaires were collected, specifically 361 in the first region and 405 in the second, whose data were submitted to univariate and bivariate statistical analysis. The results showed that respondents from both locations share the values observed to a high degree, with emphasis on the highest scores related to Achievement (at both levels of analysis) and Stability (in the scope of Work). They also show certain statistically significant distinctions in most values (all higher in Sumaré, with the exception of Tradition) and similarities in a minority, namely, Well-being at the organizational level and Prestige and Stability at the work level, which certainly it is related to the type of organization in which they work, in both regions. In addition, the correlation tests performed proved to be significant and positive, concluding that the more the young person responds positively to a value, the greater the tendency to behave in the same way in relation to the others.
