To understand and analyze an organization´s culture: Theoretical and methodological choices in two decades of research in Brazil
Keywords:
Culture, Research methods, psychology, Organizational psychologyAbstract
Despite the popularity of the organizational culture construct in the organizational psychology´s practice, it is important to scrutinize the theoretical and methodological quality standards of its principles in Brazil. The present study investigated 27 articles targeting at an organization´s culture, in 18 psychology and administration top-ranked journals, issued between 1996 and 2017. The articles were classifi ed by their theoretical and methodological characteristics, such as type of data analysis, culture defi nitions, among others, to be further quantifi ed and qualitatively reviewed. The trends were discussed in face of organizational culture´s global literature standards, and according to the characteristics of national organizational behavior literature. Special attention was recommended to the alignment between method and epistemology, as well as to a convergence towards global literature´s new developments.
