This study proposes to describe proceedings and results of validation of the measures adopted to measure the variables Individual Competencies Required, Organizational Modernity and Satisfaction at Work, as well as to diagnose them among 654 professional investigated. With that aim, statistical techniques (multivariate and descriptive methods) for the data processing were used. The Evaluation Approach of Organizational Modernity (EBOLI, 1996), the Motivation and Job Satisfaction Model (HACKMAN e OLDHAM, 1975) and a review the Anglo-Saxon and French approaches on competence were employed as theoric referential. As for results, we could validate the proposed scales to measure the variables significant to this study. As products of the diagnosis drawn among the researched professionals, the respondent's perceptions to a higher degree of demand for the investigated competencies aspect and also moderate levels of organizational modernity and job satisfaction, amongst other aspects, deserve prominence.
