Work values of researchers in a Brazilian organization
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this paper was to analyze values related to researcher work at a Brazilian R&D company, defining their axiological work priorities. Studies have evidenced gaps in researcher management at innovative organizations, with this human resource directly involved in innovation. Through an understanding of researchers’ personal work values at an R&D company, it becomes possible to evaluate what these professionals consider important subsidizing knowledge to managers of knowledge workers and enabling organizational improvements in their work environment. By using a valid questionnaire, 208 researchers at a Brazilian R&D firm participated in this study. The results made it possible for the organization to understand the researchers’ work values, as well as their axiological work priorities defined according to the following sequence: social relations, professional realization, stability and prestige. Study implications and limitations were raised and discussed.
