Work is part of the routine of man in our society; it demands the exertion of physical and mental energy as well as the fulfillment of certain inherent needs. Moreover, work provides the man with rich experiences, skills and the competency to apply them into a productive reality. Thus, work is part of the process of human development, directly reflecting in the interpersonal relationships, in its selfknowledge, in its intellectual growth and in its financial movement. In addition to providing gratification, work ensures the survival of the human being. The environment in which work usually occurs in society is inside the organization. These organizations or companies are concerned with production and technical efficacy, but they also must include reasons related to social relations, or the social world of work. The act of working is not only to perform productive functions, but also to provide the coexistence and the development of subjectivity. Therefore, work occupies an essential place in the life of the individual, being part of the construction of the whole individual. In this context, the workers who drive a bus for a living play a vital role in the transport of passengers within a certain area. The bus driver must also obey a series of rules and technical procedures, and could possibly expose themselves to a variety of occupational and psychological hazards. The study analyzed the meaning of the work for the bus drivers of urban collective transportation in Curitiba, Brazil. A qualitative, constructive-interpretive approach was used in a dialogical way between researcher and researched, reconciling with the self-confrontation method of Yves Clot. The level of analysis addressed in this research was at the organizational level, the locus will include a public transportation company in Curitiba and the unit of analysis were drivers of bi-articulated buses. The present study contemplated the use of primary and secondary data; the primary data were collected through interviews, photos, recordings and films, integrating the process of self-confrontation and observation Script with the purpose of solving the research problem. The secondary data were collected from the documents of the transportation company and from other credible departments. The study revealed that the main meanings of the work that emerged from the research with Curitiba urban collective transport drivers are related to the liking of the activity they perform; basic survival needs; to the personal satisfaction, to the centrality that assumes that the work demands a high level of responsibility with the organization; the relationship between work and family, the relationship between work and peers, the relationship between work and society, and the need to feel useful in the development of the activity.
