RESUMO

Human values act as pointers guiding life and the day to day of individuals, groups, organizations and societies. These values are organized in two bipolar dimensions: self-transcendency versus self-promotion and open to change versus conservative. The former values the independence of thought and action and the latter the preservation of customs and rules plus material security. Keeping in mind the fact that values give bearing to actions, it is possible to expect them to be of underlying rationality: in the first dimension, rationality which is substantive to values of self-transcendency and instrumental rationality to self-promotion. The second dimension being both types of rationality, independent of its pole. The Organizations of the Third Sector occupy a privileged position to perform in based on the substantive rationality. This research was dedicated to the study of Organizations of the Third Sector with the objective of seeking to understand the relationship between organizational values and rationality. Through identifying the organizational values that permeate the Non-Governmental Organizations selected and the understanding of the relationships that were found amongst the bipolar dimensions and the rationality as well as the a relationship between the functions of the values and rationality. A multi case study was adopted with quantitative research and qualitative research that was done in three organizations. The results made evident that there is a relationship between the rationality and the Self-transcendency and self-promotion of the organizational values. However, the historical period which the organization first arose, the religious or spiritual belief that is shared in the organization also enter the explanation of the relationship found between the rationality and the dimension of being open to change and preservation.
