This article presents a new construct called Realization of Personal Values ??in the Organizational Environment (RVP) to understand the relationships between individuals and organizations. Personal values ??(VP) are desirable goals that vary in importance and serve as guiding principles in people's lives, while RVP is the realization of such goals in the organization where they work in carrying out daily activities. Understanding which are the personal attributes such as personal values, which define culture, structure, processes and organizational goals, this study sought to examine relationships between PV, RVP and organizational values ??perceived as practiced (VO), the latter defined as the organization's goals. This article exploratory and quantitative type, used three questionnaires based on ??theory of basic values. The first two, for the measurement of personal values ??and realization of personal values ??in the organizational environment, have been developed for the study, from the Portrait Value Questionnaire in its Brazilian version of 40 items, while for the measure of organizational values ??it employed the Inventário de Perfis de Valores Organizacionais. The non-probability sample was  formed  by  employees of three private companies in the services sector, comprising 231 valid cases. In data processing it was used descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression, besides  multidimensional scaling to verify the validation of theoretical constructs VP and RVP. The results show that organizational values??, viewed as the organization's goals, are more influenced by realization of personal values ??of its members than by the expectation of its realization, aligned of the Theory Attraction-Selection-Attrition (ASA) by Schneider that people to realize their personal values??, and thus they remain in the organization and setting goals to be achieved by them. The studies also show that employees get goals prioritized by the organizations, from domain of market, practicing  personal values ??that are in opposite motivational types, from self-transcendence. The article aims to contribute to the theoretical discussion about organizational values??, enabling managers to reflect on other ways of understanding the relation employee- organization that is not addressing fit between personal and organizational values??, a recurring theme in both the academic and business circles.
