The aim of this study was to identify the relation between organizational values and well being at work according to the employees‟ perception of a public health institution. It was a quantitative research approach, descriptive character, held in a Public Teaching Hospital of Federal University. The measure instruments used were: The inventory of Organizational Value Profiles IPVO from Oliveira and Tamayo (2004) and the Scale of Personal Well Being Perception in Organizations- EPBO from Dessen and Paz (2010). The personal variables analyzed were: age, sex, schooling, marital status, and the ones related to occupation: time worded in the institution, the position held, class, actual sector, the time worked in this sector and work shift. With the aim of presenting the institution contributions, an action plan to improve the employees‟ satisfaction and organizational commitment is proposed to the management. The data were analyzed in a quantitative way by the use of software SPSS, version 18.0. To analyze the data, the descriptive statistics, factor analyses, Cronbach‟s alpha, measure, test t, ANOVA and Pearson‟s correlation were analyzed.. Theoretical references in values used were: Human Value Theory from Schwartz (1992, 2005) and Tamayo and his collaborators studies (1996, 2000, 2005, 2006. In relation to well being at work, concepts developed by Paschoal (2008); Paz (2004) and Dessen and Paz (2010) were used, which express both approaches of general well being, the subjective well being and psychological well being, because in this concept, the affective aspects (emotions and humor) as well as cognitive aspects (fulfillment) are considered. This research will be applied to technical-administrative staff on education, who work at UFSM, specifically at a Public Hospital in a Federal University, pursuing the maximum number of returns. However, the minimum sample has been calculated. The research presents major results as a strong identification with the institution of the servers and the important role of leadership in the context of health production. The low scores assigned to some variables of well-being, characterized the importance of the hedonic dimension of well-being in the perception of the servers, thus demonstrating that congruence between personal and organizational values can generate greater welfare organization.
