In attempt to adapt these theories to reality of these professionals, that work in organizations is extremely competitive and dynamics. It is essential in developing new measurement methods of satisfaction and motivation of workers in order to emphasize the creative effort this kind of professional. Therefore, it is necessary to redefine performance measurement systems, organizational climate surveys, incentive systems, through the study of the motivational factors. We used quantitative approach in our methodological design through the Stated Preference Method, customizing this kind of survey, data analysis process and enables investment in enterprise areas that actually need optimization. We verified in the analysis of the overall sample and in trends of segmentations the physiological needs as good wages and good physical working conditions, stand out with a marked importance, and however are close to self-actualization needs as: freedom with responsibility and work as a source of fulfillment. This may indicate that despite the work environment and salary are hygiene factors there are employees concerned about their self-realization (motivating factor). That is, first a lack represented by the base of the pyramid of needs, followed by recovery of a need the top of the hierarchy, self-realization.
