This research, qualitative in nature, seeks to answer the question: What are the meanings given by a group of teachers in relation to continuing education offered by participating in EFAP – Training School and Teacher Improvement? For this, we build a theoretical referential grounding the basic elements related to continuing education of teachers in the last 40 years to the current concepts of continuing education. We draw a panorama of public policy of the State Department of Education SEE-SP contextualizing the creation of EFAP. We address the professional development of mathematics teachers and pointed out the issue of reflective teacher. The investigation was performed considering proposals for continuing education promoted by EFAP during the years 2009 to 2013. For to know the profile of math teachers involved in these continuing education courses we applied a questionnaire to twentyfive teachers. We selected five persons of group of teachers interviewed to deepen our data collection with interviews. To grasp the understanding of teachers about continuing education courses realized by them, the research uses the production concepts of senses and meanings present in the cultural-historical perspective of Vygotsky (2008). We drive us in Bardin (1997) for data analysis. In general, the development of research allowed us to conclude that the meanings attributed by teachers to continuing education courses offered by EFAP are related to a number of factors such as contact with peers, hands-on activities, certification and new knowledge in relations to pedagogical and didactic discussions.

Open institutional repositories (IR) have became a major instrument for providing open access to global scientific production. In addition to providing scientific documents, IR can be used to fulfill institutional interests of the institution, such as promoting the storage of documentation, preserving institutional memory and also bringing worldwide exposure to its production. The implementation of an IR, however, depends on a number of activities, where one of the major challenges is populating it with data. In order to find solutions to improve the process of populating an IR, the aim of this work was to develop a system to automatically extract metadata from the Lattes Platform, inserting this metadata in a reference database, regarded as an intermediate step for populating the IR. Besides easing the submission process, the reference base will be able to support effective marketing campaigns to foster the auto-archival of scientific works. Our approach consists of a qualitative research, developed through action research, within the Federal University of São Carlos – UFSCar. The achieved results comprised the development of a collection of automated solutions essential for gathering and handling metadata to be imported by DSpace. The solution here proposed can be implemented by any institution, with or without an IR, strongly contributing to maximize scientific communication by automating part of the process of implementing and maintaining institutional repositories.

The intense destruction of the environment contributed to the decline and isolation of wild populations, providing an intensification of genetic drift and inbreeding effects. These factors reduce the ability of individuals to adapt to environmental changes, making them more vulnerable to extinction. The two largest predators of the Americas, the cougar (Puma concolor) and jaguar (Panthera onca) are animals which are threatened by the reduction and fragmentation of habitats, especially in the Atlantic Forest, which is one of the most degraded biomes in the world due to human actions. The present study aimed to investigate both demographic parameters and the distribution of the genetic diversity of cougar and jaguar populations within Atlantic Forest remnants. The chosen areas (Serra da Mantiqueira, Serra do Mar continuous and Iguaçu National Park) are among the most important for the conservation of these cats. Mostly non-invasive samples (feces and hair) were collected in protected areas present in those remaining. The depositor species was confirmed by amplification of the ATP6 gene and the samples were individualized using microsatellite loci, which were also employed in population analyses. The sex of the individuals was determined using a small fragment of amelogenin gene. The results suggest that at least seven individuals of jaguars (4F:3M) inhabit the Iguaçu National Park and 12 (5F:7M) are present in the Serra do Mar continuous. These populations seem to be different, with evidence of low gene flow between them (lack of migrant and mixed individuals and pairs of highly related individuals). In Iguaçu is also estimated to exist at least seven cougars (3F:4M), also four (1F:3M) in the Serra da Mantiqueira and 14 (5F:9M) in the Serra do Mar continuous. Genetic structure was detected in this species, but evidencing gene flow maintenance between two detected populations (sign of migrants and mixed individuals and predominantly non related individuals). In both species high genetic diversity could be observed. This study obtained critical information and still unknown, about the demographic and structure of jaguar and cougar populations in the Atlantic Forest remain. These data will provide substantial information that can be used in monitoring, as well as being crucial and decisive in the increase of effective strategies for the conservation of these species.

Scientific discoveries and large experiments usually become object for mass media and scientific disclosure. Contact with this material can, in many ways, contribute to the teacher's work in the classroom. This paper has the objective of studying the potential use of this material in the classroom, through the different dimensions this material can emcompass. Initially, a wide outlook of the insertion of modern and contemporary physics in high school is presented, with it's justifications and challenges. Some characteristics and possibilities for the use of scientific disclosure materials in class are also presented, under the viewpoint of authors located within this interface between education and communication. This paper focuses on what is called the "LHC Case", referring to media material associated to the particle accelerator LHC (Large Hadron Collider), as contextualizing elemnt for particle physics teaching, and also as motivator for other questions, like the relationship between science and society, among other things. A description of a set of newspaper articles about the LHC case published between 2006 and 2013 is presented, as well as a critical analysis of this set, using a few criteria such as the news theme, focus and content. From this analysis of the news, a minicourse was elaborated and ministered for students of UFSCar's college preparatory course, as a space for data collection, with the purpose of evaluating the potential use of media disclosed news in the selection and development of content related to modern physics in high school. Results point at the possibility of the use of news in classes, fulfilling different roles according to the teacher's objective. In the LHC case, the possibility of using news with different characteristics to motivate discussions which establish relations with science, technology and society has proven feasible and interesting, as it can contribute for the construction of a less distorted and more critical view of science, and giving meaning to the teaching of particle physics in high school.

We report the investigation of structural, optical and electrical properties of the MgxPb(1- x)TiO3 ceramic system produced by mechanosynthesis. The solid state reaction manufacturing method has been proved to be an efficient alternative to manufacture this type of material. By using Raman spectroscopy techniques it was possible observe the effects induced by pressure, from 0 up to 14 GPa, and by temperature from 10 up to 723 K for the samples with x ranging from 0.2 to 1.0. Complementary characterization techniques were also used, including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Optical Absorption Spectroscopy and Electrical Impedance. XRD enabled the study of structural changes related to the increase in Mg concentrations. Raman analysis allowed the study of vibrational modes, in particular the transversely optical mode E(1TO) of lower frequency in order to characterize the phase transition from tetragonal-ferroelectric to cubic-paraelectric phases. From these results it was possible to construct a phase diagram that relates Mg concentration, temperature and hydrostatic pressure, yielding determine critical temperature (Tc) and critical pressure (Pc) in which phase transition occurs for each sample. Permittivity dielectric measurements were performed for each material, through which it was possible to compare the effects of Mg ratios in the modification of the values of these properties. Finally, a study of optical absorption as a function of Mg concentration was conducted, evidencing changes in gap energies related to the increase of Mg incorporation. The lowest values, 2.86 and 2.9 eV correspond to samples with concentrations of 0.4 and 0.2, respectively. Thus, from a technological point of view, these characteristics are interesting for applications in devices operating in the microwave region.

In this thesis, we construct distribution functions for analysis of lifetimes with the focus in scenes of latent risks inspired in models of the carcinogenesis process. Some properties of these distribution functions are presented and discussed as well as the viability front the models in literature. In some cases the models were describes as long-time model where a part of population presents infinite lifetime, i.e, on the population in study some objects are not susceptible (or immunes) for the event of interest. Some models present complexity in the maximization and was necessary the implementation of routines of maximization that allows us the control some variables that are not offered in routines in tradicional programs. The implemented routine is available in appendix.

This paper considers the evolution of the student´s needs for assistance in the Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar), in Brazil, after the implementation of the Affirmative Actions by the year 2013. It is considered the year 2007 as previous reference implementation of Affirmative Action, which took place in 2008. The research topic was chosen on the grounds that their results relating to a partial analysis of the implementation of a public policy process, can contribute to improving the effectiveness of this policy. The overall objective of this research was to analyze whether there were changes in the demand for student assistance, and sought to also check whether, after the implementation of affirmative action, changes were needed in the work routines of ProACE (Sector of community and student affairs of the UFSCar) and in their departments directly involved with the student assistance. The research also presents the partial survey about the year of implementation of Affirmative Action in Brazilian federal universities, and to this end, consultations were held on the websites of these federal universities. The focus in this case was to understand the context in which the UFSCar was inserted when it decided to set affirmative action policies for admission of students. The method used is an exploratory research, based on documentary and field research. The conclusion of the study is that there was a great evolution in demand for student assistance in the analyzed period, as growth of 157% in the number of fellows, the tenfold increase spending on assistance grants and increasing by 84% the number places in student housing in addition to the creation, in 2011, of a home assistance fellow, but that can not be attributed only to the implementation of Affirmative Action, because until 2012 the UFSCar was involved in the process of expanding of REUNI (a government policy of expansion of places in Brazilian universities). Despite of the PROACE departments having to serve more students than they used to do, it was not observed significant changes in the routine to serve wider public benefited by student assistance.

This work presents the results of a survey on narrative features found on contemporary Venezuelan documentary, specifically, the feature and medium length (over 30 minutes) films released in Venezuelan theaters between 2005 and 2013. We go through the work of several film critics who have written about Venezuelan documentary from the 1960s to the 1990s. In the critical review of this framework, we distinguished paradigmatic moments of documentary activity in the country, which unfold in particular forms and practices of representation. These paradigms, practices and forms dialogue with our contemporary corpus and allow us to identify three sets of films: one of leftist and militant documentaries; another, of works revolving a nationalist-populist paradigm; and finally, one we call of "ideological diversity", which moves away from the representation of Venezuelan working classes and the popular culture. The thesis describes ideological, aesthetic, narrative and thematic peculiarities of these three groups of films, and produces a film analysis of three titles, each of them belonging to one of these groups.

Characterization studies on how are being conducted the educational service and the service of social assistance provided to people with disabilities, as well as the way it has been taking place the relationship between these services are still rare. Studies with such outbreaks could contribute to a better understanding of how the sessions are taking place and if they are in line with public policies, achieving the expected goals with people with disabilities and provide insight for the improvement of care. The research aimed to characterize and analyze the educational service and social assistance offered to a group of students with disabilities, from the parents’ perspective and of the teachers of room of resources. Participants were seven mothers of disabled students attending schools in the state system of public education and two resource room teachers, one active in teaching disabled hearing and visually impaired and other disabled in intellectual education. Among the seven students attending the resource room, four were enrolled in primary school and three in high school, aged between 10 and 17 years. Among the students two have hearing loss, two have learning difficulties, one has visual impairment, one has intellectual disabilities and one has multiple disabilities. To collect data we used two interview scripts containing questions regarding the characteristics and assessments of mothers and resource room teachers on the educational service and social assistance provided to students. The results for the educational services indicate that mothers perceive the Specialized Educational Services (SES) held in the resource room as the main teaching condition for the children learning guarantee, moreover, expressed satisfaction with care and with close contact with the SES of teachers. The teachers' reports indicate that the SES seek help students over come difficulties and to support academic learning; indicate the need more time and frequency to meet each student; report that communication with teachers of regular classes is infrequent and the contact from the school personnel with the social worker does not occur, and the teacher considers that the family should be responsible for seeking the service of social assistance. The results show that 57% of students receive social assistance benefits as the Continuous Cash Benefit (CCB) and benefits of Bolsa Família Program (BFP). Discusses the improvements required for the actions of those involved in care remain in line with the actions and objectives set forth in the special education policy and social assistance policy.

The purpose of this work is to check if and how the strategic planning of information technology occurs in organizations of the Federal Public Administration (FPA) from the case study of the elaboration, implementation and control of the Director of Information Technology Plan (DITP) in the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Sao Paulo. The mandatoriness of preparing this strategic plan comes from the planning needs in public authority in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and also from the prerogatives of the Reform of the Public Management of 1995, which introduced the New Public Management (NPM) character of management from the results in the FPA. The methodology consisted of a case study with members of the Information Technology Committee from the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of São Paulo, whose members are Coordinators of Information Technology (CIT) of all campuses of the organization. This committee is responsible for IT policies and preparing the DITP. The data collection procedure as well as the bibliographic and documentary research were the field research, by carrying out in-depth interview with the Chair of the IT Committee and the questionnaire application with the CIT. The main focus of this research is to verify the perception of the CIT campuses in the studied institution because they are responsible for disseminating the goals prescribed in this planning and for the checking if the goals are being fulfilled in the units in which they work as IT professionals. The main results found that many of the interviewed people are not aware of the DITP and the strategic issue that is linked to this document and that they make it just an operational document reduced to a mere instrument for the legal and bureaucratic compliance with the acquisition of goods and IT services.

The central theme of this study is the technical and administrative work in education of assistant position occupants in administration at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), São Carlos campus, who have experienced the removal process. We aimed to identify feelings of pleasure and suffering experienced by servers and verify the defensive strategies they used to cope with the feelings of suffering arising from the work environment. Under the theoretical aspect, the study references the dejourian’s Psychodynamics Work, a line of studies that has been used by different areas of knowledge in the characterization of the elements present in the experience of the workers. Suffering at work is a ubiquitous phenomenon of nature, and has been the subject of research in a variety of occupations. From this perspective, the public servant of Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFES) covers this scenario. In terms of methodology, a study was conducted based on exploratory research, qualitative approach, using the case study method in a sample of eight subjects. The central categories of analysis were suffering, pleasure, labor relations, recognition and defense strategies of the servers facing labor contingencies. A thematic content analysis was made, based on various aspects of the daily work of the administrative assistant, such as the stigma of a public servant; seasonality of managers; patrimonialist behaviors; taking work thoughts home; political influence; bullying; somatization; the intensification of work; and the invisibility of middle activities. These were suffering indicators of servers. Among the pleasure indicators stood out working conditions; the symbolic fee; the public space for discussion; work in an educational institution. In this plot of pleasure and suffering, recognition appears as an essential element. It was possible to point to the ambivalence in labor relations and daily autonomy in the workplace. The main strategies to deal with adversity and suffering were prioritizing the study; verbalize problems; documenting complaints; coping; isolation; and indifference. We consider work as a central element in the ability of the worker to establish himself as a social being. The results allowed the understanding of different aspects of the work of TAE server, from the experiences of pleasure and suffering, passing by the intersubjective relations of the same. In the cutting we made, the removal was successful in most cases, helping this professional category in the redefinition of work, as well as the preservation of health. However, there were also cases where the removal accentuated possible suffering experiences. This study made expanding the universe of work psychodynamics knowledge possible in this professional category, revealing the processes in mental and social-relational scope involving the meanings of work for man.

Prefabricated building systems in Light Steel Frame - LSF are widely used in developed countries like England, Japan and USA. As constructive process, the LSF shows a progress compared to the traditional system is characterized by being an industrial building, rationalized with high productivity and require one skilled labor. The ergonomic point of view, such a system offers significant improvements in employees' working conditions and despite these improvements are significant, we can still identify ergonomic problems related to the activities of workers. In this context, this work aims, through ergonomic work analysis - AET, to survey the critical activities performed during the construction process and a diagnosis of the situations encountered on site. This research is exploratory to be keen to discover and observe phenomena, trying to describe them, classify them and interpret them and their driving was used as a research method, the case study. To capture the data, makes use of ergonomic analysis of manual work - EWA (Ergonomic Workplace Analysis), METs (The standard metabolic equivalent) and OCRA (Occupational repetitive actions) in which the following items were considered: Load-lifting, accident risk, attention, general physical activity, working postures and movements and repetitiveness of the work. Among the main findings stand out: the high risk of this accident carrying out the work due to organizational process of the company, moderate caloric expenditure in the execution of activities and high IE OCRA present in fixing activities (screwing) the structures and the sealing elements.

The dietitian is a generalist professional, acting in all areas of knowledge that food and nutrition are critical to the promotion, maintenance and recovery of health and prevention of diseases of individuals or population groups. According to the National Curriculum Guidelines (DCN – Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais), you must allow that the proposed curricula are able to develop academic and professional profile with competencies, skills and content, relevant and consistent with national approaches to ensure the performance quality, efficiency and resoluteness, at the National Health System (SUS – Sistema Único de Saúde). This study aimed to analyze the dietitian’ professional formation, in the perspective of their performance in the National Health System. This research has a qualitative nature and the study population consists of the coordinators of nutrition courses in the universities of the State of São Paulo, whose courses have begun before 1988. This study was conducted in two stages: data collection through documentary analysis of the DCNs and the Courses Pedagogical Projects (PPC – Projetos Pedagógicos de Cursos), through a matrix of analytical categories, and semi-structured interviews with the coordinators of the nutrition courses. The interviews were composed by questions about the education of students to act in the SUS and issues relating the courses PPC with the DCN. The interviews were analyzed with the content analysis technique, thematic defined by Minayo. In compliance with the Resolution 466/2012 of the National Health Council, the research was approved by the Ethics Committee on Human Beings Research of the UFSCar and all individuals signed the Free and Informed Consentment Term (TCLE - Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido). From the nine Nutrition courses that suit to the study inclusion criteria, six courses made their PPC available. The analysis of PPC in the light of DCN demonstrated general suitability with some comments on the more traditional evaluation methods and greater emphasis to health care competencies in detriment to the competencies related to management and education. All PPC analyzed include the health needs and the formation of nutritionists emphasizing the SUS. The interviews were fundamental to verify, with the coordinator or their representatives, the challenges for the PPPs implementation in practice, such as : the involvement of the entire faculty, the organization of the course within the University, maintenance of program content within reduced workload and the qualification of teachers in Public Health Area. It was also identified gaps in the introduction of students and graduates in their actuation field in the SUS: lack of hiring of professionals involved in Health Network and deals with the city governments, as partners in the responsibility of training of professionals and implementation of PPC. It is clearly observed the importance of providing students with a curriculum that addresses the relationship between teaching-research-extension, in order to approximate the student to the job market. But this articulation does not occur effectively when we focus the SUS as acting field.

This work aims to study the relationship between the “teatro de revista” (revue) and the musical comedies made by Luiz de Barros. An important name in the history of Brazilian cinema, Luiz de Barros made dozens of films during his long career as a filmmaker. However, he did not dedicate his activities only to cinema, having established also an important career in "teatro de revista" and other stage shows. Based on researches in periodicals and archives, it was made a survey of the many activities of the director. Full of attractions, the musical comedies used elements of mass culture, like popular music and carnival, to attract the audience, bringing also several aspects of the “teatro de revista” and other artistic forms. Through the analysis of the movies Berlim na batucada (Luiz de Barros, 1944) e Caídos do céu (Luiz de Barros, 1946), this research aims to study how the filmmaker articulated characteristic elements of the “teatro de revista” in his films, both in the narrative level and in relation to production, also investigating the casting of theatrical actors and musicians well known to the public. Thus, this work intends to expand a research field of the history of Brazilian cinema that studies the dialogue with other kinds of entertainment.

This paper discusses the Federal Government Program “Minha Casa Minha Vida” and its implementation in Piracicaba from the perspective of its interaction with the social capital in the “lens” designed by Robert Putnam. In particular, it seeks to understand the actions or reactions of the major social actors resulting from the implementation of the Program, in its context, in Piracicaba. To this end, in addition to market analyzes and their trends about prices, it was identified the main elements of social capital in order to verify their relations with the applicability public policy at the local level. It was also and firstly assumed that real estate and construction companies, in Piracicaba, had a social organization tight enough to gain advantage in the market by overpricing houses or lands and raise funds or subsidies that would be allocated a priori for a program with social order, all disguised in a market logic that legitimate opportunistic actions. As it will be shown, however, the absence of social capital - as the engagement elements, civility and even problems in facing embedded cultural values - can be obstacles to the implementation of an effective policy in solving the problems related to the issue of social housing in the country. It will also be observed that the social organization of the business community, particularly in the real estate entrepreneurs in Piracicaba, do not have enough tight relationships and social organization to confirm the initial proposal that they could have some control on the market prices.

The mechanization of sugarcane harvesting in Brazil has been presenting significant growth since 2007. The machines used in the fields were originally designed in Australia and were transferred to Brazil in the 70 s. Since its original conception, the design has suffered several modifications and improvements. In ergonomics, it is known that the appropriation of artifacts leads to a process of construction and reconstruction of uses and devices, so that the design continues in usage. With this regard, the present study aimed to analyze the process of design in use of sugarcane harvester machines and to contribute to the understanding of how users design. Considering that the machine was originated in Australia, the study also aimed to conduct a comparative study between the two situations, based on the principles of antropotechnology. Furthermore, given the historical participation of users in design process of sugarcane harvesters, the study also aimed to verify whether this participation still exists now that the design is controlled by multi-national equipment manufacturers. For this purpose, three case study were conducted in Brazil and two in Australia, according to the principles of Ergonomic Work Analysis. The obtained results describe the studied situations, the activity and operation, the modifications in machine s design performed by the harvesting teams, the elaboration process and the need for design improvements. The modifications in machines design were divided into three categories: structural, functional and operational. Structural modifications aimed to adapt the technology to Brazilian conditions: the soil characteristics and the duration of the harvesting season in the country. Functional modifications aimed to solve design problems not anticipated by designers during design process. Operational modifications represented the contribution of users and their activity to the design. In Brazil, several modifications were found and they were elaborated through the articulation of competences of two actors: harvester operator and harvester mechanic. Besides the differences in the amount of modifications, other differences between the two countries were the work organization and the harvesting strategies. It can be concluded that: 1) design in use is essential to adapt a technology to local conditions of usage; 2) the genesis of instrumental genesis is in the junction of operators activity and of mechanics inventory to practice bricolage as a way of designing, as well as the existence of social spaces of interaction between these subjects; 3) users participation, which has always been essential to the design of sugarcane harvester machines, is still crucial and can be reached through a dialogical approach of design.

Investigations concerning pre-service teacher education in Chemistry have increasingly been made from the 1990s. Currently, studies that are based on reflective teaching are at the forefront. An alternative to creating a space for future teachers to reflect and discuss is setting up communities on the Internet using blogs. However, research aimed at using blogs in pre-service teacher education in chemistry in Brazil is scarce. In this work, we develop studies concerning the use of blogs in subjects related to the Curriculum stage and Teaching Practice in chemistry, taught on a long distance pre-service teacher education in chemistry. Therefore, we provide space on the blogs to publish and discuss activities carried out in lessons. Data was collected from publications on the blogs and by distributing questionnaires on the concept of teaching, as well as the use and acceptance of technology. We analysed the contributions of using blogs as a support tool for subjects, the evolution of the undergraduates’ teaching models and the perceptions of using blogs. We also detected and classified the levels of the undergraduates’ reflections concerning actions taken during the stages. Based on data analysis, changes from the future teachers’ previous conceptions could be observed regarding teaching and the acceptance of using blogs in education. Furthermore, using blogs helped the undergraduates to share, discuss and reflect on the activities of the subjects and actions taken in the curriculum stage. Finally, based on an extensive literature review carried out for this research and the results from it, we consider the benefits provided by the blogs in the context of pre-service teacher education, as well as the barriers that hinder its use.

The construction industry is the largest consumer of natural resources in their activities. It is estimated that a square meter of construction of a building is consumed an average of one ton of materials, which explains the use of large amounts of cement, sand, gravel, and other inputs during its construction process. Furthermore, the construction is the industry which produces more waste. In Brazil, this situation is aggravated by the construction technology normally applied in new buildings, especially in works of social interest. In these projects, the traditional process of implementation combined with poor quality of production management favors large losses and physical resources waste, which ultimately generate huge amounts of construction waste (RCC) in the beds. For all these reasons, the diagnosis of RCC generation in housing projects of social interest is of great importance, since it can support management strategies of material consumption to reduce waste and costs. In this sense, this paper aims to study the generation of waste from the construction of a housing project of social interest in the city of Taquaritinga-SP, with special focus on the generation rate (kg / m²) of this type of venture. The methodology will be held bibliographical and documentary reviews of the object of study work, and methodologies used by other authors in previous studies to obtain the generation of RCC and their respective generation rate per square meter. It should be noted that in developed countries, this waste production indicator from new construction is around 50 kg / m2, well below the Brazilian indices that revolve around 150 kg / m2. This study showed the rate of 226,28kg / m², demonstrating that the enterprise is slightly above the Brazilian indices. With the completion of this research, we hope to obtain important results for the area of social housing, as the studies of RCC does not include rates for this type of residential development, unlike the indexes extracted in vertical buildings or even reform and demolitions.

Organizational Culture is a theme that has been gaining interest in the academic area and in business management, mostly since the 1980's. Organizational culture can be understood as a set of assumptions, values, and artifacts transmitted between its members, creating a meaning which defines a behavior pattern in an organization. This study aimed to analyze the alignment between cultural and work related values of potential employees in a Brazilian Financial Institution. It was relevant for the studied company to analyze the expectations of the new employees, since these expectations may or may not converge with the present cultural values, influencing these people. Since the organizational culture rules the company and its member's behaviors, according to the definition, it is believed that the analysis of the alignment between work related values and the organizational culture is an important diagnostic tool for strategic actions. The research was developed in a large financial institution, of mixed economy, and because of this fact, it shows the coexistence between public and private values. By performing a survey between the potential employees of that organization (approved in a public examination and summoned to take office), it was possible to identify the values that would orientate their work life and, afterwards, these values were compared to the cultural values already existing in the company. With regard to corporate values (declared by the organization), an alignment in the ones related to safety, accomplishment, universalism, and benevolence was observed. As far as organizational values go (values shared by the organization members), there was an alignment in those related to safety, conformity, and self-determination, as well as a partial alignment in the values related to realization, universalism, and benevolence. Considering both types of values as representatives of the company's organizational culture, we found an alignment in safety values and a misalignment in the values related to power, dominance, and prestige. The lack of alignment in these values must be observed by the company, since that can influence the satisfaction of new employees with their work negatively, contribute to a higher turnover rate, and even influence the financial performance of the company. Additionally, the new employees values can, over time, modify the company's culture itself.
