Abstract

During the process of forming a cooperative it is important to consider whether the individuals involved in the process are seeking values that cooperative work will allow them to reach.
This study sought to identify and discuss personal work values and expectations from a group of recyclable materials collectors at the State of Mato Grosso do Sul countryside, associated in cooperative work. The participants were 13 people involved in the process of setting up a cooperative . Data collection was done through semi-directed interview with four open questions and socioeconomic data. Data were analyzed using the method of content analysis based on Schwartz Value Theory. Overall, the survey results indicate that personal work values and expectations were quite significant and coherent with the real possibilities that the cooperative work can offer them.
