This study aims to analyze the relationship between the values relating to work and the organizational entrenchment of the servers of a public university. Additionally, it is intended to compare the values related to work and organizational entrenchment between teachers and administrative technicians. In view of this, there is a quantitative research, of a descriptive nature, with 384 employees of a public university, in which two previously validated scales were adopted: the Revised Scale of Values Relating to Work, of Porto and Pilati (2010); and the Organizational Entrenchment Scale, of Rodrigues and Bastos (2012). For the data treatment, descriptive, inferential statistics (t-test and Mann-Whitney test) and Spearman's correlation were used. The results indicate that there are positive relations between adjustment to social position and achievement; between impersonal bureaucratic arrangements and universalism and benevolence; and between limitation of alternatives and compliance; and negative relationships between impersonal bureaucratic arrangements and security; and between limitation of alternatives and safety. In general, administrative technicians feel more employability constraints than do teachers, and teachers, in turn, prioritize more authority, wealth, social recognition, and authority by comparing them with administrative technicians.
