Economic agents, like workers, are studied from the rationality of homo economicus. Their behavior needs to be understood from the moral-emotional perspective of the homo moralis motus. The objective was to establish the level of emotional moral competence, based on two opposite basic moral emotions, guilt and pride. The Emotional Moral Questionnaire was applied to 212 workers from an organization.

Through descriptive and variance statistical analysis, the highest level of moral competence was found in grassroots workers, while the lowest level was registered in temporary workers.

This research allowed demonstrate that, through the analysis of moral competence based on moral emotions, guilt and pride, the emotional moral balance of the worker can be identified. This is an evaluation of the homo moralis motus, which would potentially allow observing and anticipating the correct behavior of the worker in the organization.
