Against the backdrop of academic increasingly virtualised, the research considered the Distance Education (EAD) as a research field. This choice is due to the fact that distance education, by its scope, be setting to undertake research associated with the increasingly dynamic and interactive nature acquired by mode. As problematic, the research considers the emergence of entrepreneurship, which is more relevant for its potential to bring out the creativity, specifically related to contextual analysis and observation of new opportunities and also the construction of new possibilities to add quality to public services, depending on the personal values that the drives. Thus, we sought to determine the influence of personal values on entrepreneurial motivation, based on the assumption that the self-promotion of values (power and achievement), compared to the self-transcendence values (universalism and benevolence) influence significantly more entrepreneurial motivations. He conducted field research with data collected through questionnaire adapted construct Entrepreneurial Motivation and scale types Motivational along the 262 students of public administration - distance education, a HEI operates in the states of Ceará and Bahia. Quantitative analysis was based on the Partial Least Squares (PLS-PM), held in SmartPLS software - 3.0. The hypothesis was confirmed: selfpromotion affects 78.1% of entrepreneurial motivations, and self-transcendence influence 42%. The need for approval was not related to the self-transcendence and received 45.7% of the influence of self-promotion. In turn, the self-transcending influenced significantly more personal development, compared with the self-promotion. The data indicate that selftranscendence values influence more significantly the need for personal development, compared to the self-promotion of values, which indicates an important way to tackle entrepreneurship in the public arena, in order to stimulate the development of self-transcendent values (with concerns facing the community) as a function of encouraging personal development of public administrators. At the same time, by reading the data to selftranscendence does not influence the need for approval, which may be related to the influence of entrepreneurship as the private sphere phenomenon and also the culture of public organizations that disfavor the emergence of creativity and innovation, either by historicized bureaucratization, either by intense normative institutionalization governing state operation. In this regard, it is believed to reflect on changes evaluative dynamics and cultural own organizations can generate association between approval requirements (respect, admiration, recognition) and willingness to carry out collective nature actions.
