Abstract: This paper seeks to enrich knowledge management by encouraging cultural processes that integrate human labor values with those of business organizations. The objective is to describe Latin American workers ́ labor values, specifically investigating the difference between the stated values and those which are really prioritized, the personal relevance degree assigned to ethical behavior in the labor context and the moral development stage in which they tend to put “the others”. The typology o was exploratory and descriptive, the theoretical approach, the transdisciplinary and the temporal nature, synchronous. The non-probability sampling method included volunteers who answered an online questionnaire. The work motivations of 423 Latin American workers, of different hierarchical levels, in productive and services businesses, reveal that the general attitude towards work is central. Statistical analysis techniques disclosed that they prioritize the salary in the first place, then safety and very close to them, the opportunities to access progress and to have an interesting job while social motivations and prestige appear to a lesser degree. Most people claim to have an interest in opposing immoral situations. However, when investigating the stages of development of “the others”, it concludes that society governs their ethical behaviors according to rewards or punishments, or by imitating others, minimizing respect for other people ́s rights or their own principles
