This searching project utilized an international corporation of commodities, formed recently by a joint venture, which implemented a new VCP on the last year. In the theoretical foundation of this work are appointed the following topics: 1) variable contribution and performance; 2) motivation and work engagement; 3) cultural and organizational climate; 4) communication. Data collection was performed by semi structured and present interviews, with 10 leaderships of the corporation studied.
