This study investigated the role of organizational culture (OC) in relation to effort-reward imbalance at work among public servants in higher education. The study used the quantitative method in a sample of 302 technical-administrative workers at a federal university. The following tools were applied: the Brazilian Instrument for Assessment of Organizational Culture (IBACO), and the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) at Work Questionnaire. OC factors (cooperative professionalism, satisfaction and well-being, external integration, reward and training, and promotion of interpersonal relationship) presented significantly lower averages in the group of workers classified as exposed to ERI. In logistic regression analysis, the predictive model of OC, for the satisfaction and well-being factor, explained 42.9% of ERI. These findings provide empirical support for OC's importance with respect to the risk of exposure to occupational stress, as suggest its importance for future actions of promotion, prevention, and intervention.
