ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE: structural dimensions and dynamic aspects

Abstract

The authors in the field of contemporary administration, in any approch used or in any theme focused , agree that the organizational culture is a determinant resource to the actions of the organizations mainly as a factor that may support or restrict any competitive and competent performance in the business world. However, once it is a complex fenomena, it is noticed through the given literature that the attempts to define the concept of “ organizational culture” have arisen a compilation of endless synonyms, towards the contemplation of its amplitude, without a clear development of its theoretical grounds, being either redundant or reducionist or else lacking definition of its determinant factors and their results. Based on a bibliographic research, the present article proposes a theorectical reflection about such a topic, throughout the combination of the organizational culture and the human behaviour in the organizations as a contribution to the conceptualization which leads to both a better understanding and management of it.
