The transformation of societies due to globalization presents a new challenge to organizations, as diversity has placed side by side people from different origins, races and cultures to work together in increasingly heterogeneous environments. Hence, a successful management of diversity requires that managers understand the differences among people at the workplace. Therefore, to know managers' attitudes in relation to diversity is an essential condition for a good management. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the Universal Diverse Orientation (UDO) of Brazilian managers, regarding the dimensions gender, race, age, time of experience as manager, and country s region of work, and also to validate the M-GUDS S scale in Brazil. A descriptive and quantitative research was carried out using a sample of Brazilian managers. Until now, no studies about UDO in Brazil were identified, and research in other countries were performed only with university students. The results showed acceptable levels of validity and reliability, and validated the M-GUDS S scale for Brazil. However, when comparing the survey results with the theoretical framework, a limitation was perceived, related to the sample profile. Although the literature has pointed to the possibility of a higher level of openness toward diverse by women, non Caucasian individuals, older individuals and more experienced ones, the statistical results did not go in this direction. What could be inferred was that the sample, composed by managers from a single company, was homogeneous and might have influenced the results. For this reason, we recommend that future studies use samples from different organizations. The information gathered by this study will be useful for future studies that may deepen the knowledge about UDO in Brazil.
