In an environment in which the work profile implies the worker's involvement in the process of taking initiatives such as quality control, defects identification, participation of team groups and other ways of performance requiring disposition to participate, subject of commitment stands out. Looking for management principles and practices absorbing this new "requirement", the Profit or Gain Sharing Plans in Brazil are gradually conquering their space because of the increasing valorization of monetary incentives to minimize the delicate conditions of Brazilian working class.

The methodology employed has been of a qualitative kind, using an exploratory-descriptive study. The interviews aimed observing how the studied companies are employing this ruman resources management strategy and to show its reflexes on their workers. Our objective is an attempt to identify trends, characteristics and structures concerning to these plans, once it would be premature to seek more definitive conclusions on the diffusion of this strategy for the Brazilian case.
