The unit of analysis are public institutions of both countries, the sample, which is of the convenience type, was composed of 609 respondents public servants. Three research instruments were used: the Articulación entre la Persona y la organización (APO) of Ramos, Jordão and Morais (2012); the Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho (EST) by Siqueira (2008); and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) tool by Schaufeli, Bakker and Salanova (2006). The results did not reject the hypotheses of the model, both of the Portuguese and Brazilian samples, and the comparison between them shows that in general the Portuguese are more satisfied and more engaged in the work than the Brazilians. The exception was observed only in the hypothetical factors Promotion and Salary.
