This research aims at understanding how the performance measurement system (PMS) is reflected in work engagement, motivation and satisfaction. Data were collected from 11 surveys completed by coordinators and managers from a petroleum refinery located in the southern region of Rio Grande do Sul. Henri (2006) and Simons (1995) approaches on the performance measurement system were adopted together with employee behavioral indicators (such as motivation, satisfaction and engagement) as elements to conduct surveys which were subsequently under content analysis (Bardin, 2016). The results evidenced that PMS is being applied at the company through dialogue, communication, safety and training. The refinery fosters work engagement, motivation and satisfaction, making employees feel proud, content and happy to be part of the organization. This encourages them to have a better performance and carry out their activities enthusiastically and with a clear focus. The findings show that PMS is favorably applied in a diagnostic and interactive manner in the organization under study. The relevance of this research is evident since organizations continually face a rising number of internal and external challenges including the need to motivate employees to increase productivity and reinforce work engagement.
