Resumo
This study investigates the differences in select organizational charac-
teristics, managerial practices and work attitudes among 670 public and private
sector workers in Brazil. The results indicate that in some aspects there is a
moderation effect by type of organization. For example,when public employees
score high on autonomy and task significance, perceive organizational practices
as favourable, and keep membership in the same organization, they tend to be
more satisfied than private sector workers. Overall, the findings highlight the
need for more international comparisons to gain a better understanding of the
public-private distinction.
