The aim of the study was to identify the work values among members of an association in process of incubation. For this purpose focus group meetings were conducted with the 17 associates. The collected material was submitted to the content analysis, which was structured based on the factors of the Work Values Scale (Porto & Tamayo, 2003). The results showed that the categories identified were organized according to the following hierarchy of importance: Realization at Work, Social Relations, Stability and Prestige. The findings proved to be useful to guide the actions developed in the continuity of the work with the group and point to the importance of attending to the work values prioritized by participants in solidary enterprises during the incubation process. The limitations and contributions of the study are discussed, with suggestions for future research.
