Abstract 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 classified by their theoretical and methodological characteristics, such as type of data analysis, culture definitions, among others, to be further quantified 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.

A identidade organizacional de uma empresa é composta de visão, missão e valores e é por meio deste conjunto que a organização apresenta para seus colaboradores o motivo de existir e onde pretende chegar. Os valores organizacionais são formas de conhecer a realidade organizacional e podem ser escolhidos na formação da empresa ou ao longo de sua história, recebendo influência dos fundadores e colaboradores. A partir do exposto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar os valores organizacionais na concepção dos colaboradores e dos gestores dentro de uma academia. Este trabalho caracterizou-se por uma pesquisa quantitativa exploratória e os instrumentos utilizados foram: o Questionário Sociodemográfico, o Inventário de Perfil de Valores Organizacionais (IPVO) e a Escala de Clima Organizacional (ECO). Após análise de dados, foram identificados os valores organizacionais de colaboradores e gestores em duas percepções distintas, o que sugere que há fatores divergentes na concepção desses valores. Com efeito, é relevante ressaltar a necessidade de alinhar tais concepções para fortalecimento da cultura organizacional.   ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY: ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE REVIEW AT A GYM   ABSTRACT The organizational identity of a company comprises vision, mission, and values, through that set of principles the company provides its employees the reason to exist and where they aim to go.

Organizational culture which has emerged as a sub-field of organizational behavior is observed to be decisive on many aspects of behavior such as employees’ motivation, performance, burnout, commitment and socialization. All this shows that organizational culture and related organizational outcomes are multidimensional and multivariate. The research also points to the importance of organizational culture for school organizations that play an important role in the reproduction of social relations. However, it is thought that there is a need to make ethnographic and qualitative studies  pointing out how social relationships are produced within the school culture    in contrast to the studies which fail to go beyond the the mainstream studies. ÖzetÖrgütsel davranışın bir alt çalışma alanı olarak ortaya çıkan örgüt kültürünün, çalışanların motivasyonları, performansları, tükenmişlikleri, bağlılıkları ve sosyalleşmeleri gibi daha birçok davranışları üzerinde belirleyici olduğu gözlenmektedir. Bütün bunlar örgüt kültürü ve ilişkili olduğu örgütsel sonuçların çok boyutlu ve değişkenli olduğunu göstermektedir. Yapılan araştırmalar, toplumsal ilişkilerin yeniden üretiminde önemli bir rol oynayan okul örgütleri için de örgüt kültürünün önemine işaret etmektedir. Bununla birlikte, ana akım çalışmalarının dışına çıkmayan bu çalışmaların aksine okul kültürü içinde toplumsal ilişkilerin nasıl üretildiğini ortaya koyan etnografik ve nitel çalışmalara gerek olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Organizational trauma is traditionally associated with negative effects on organizational behavior and performance. In this chapter the authors seek to answer the question how organizational trauma, and in particular near-death experiences, can positively influence organizational culture in the long term. In doing so, the authors briefly review the recent literature on organizational trauma and near death experiences, and discuss how these negative traumatic experiences can turn into prosocial organizational behaviour. The authors then present three case studies to illustrate how an organization can manage to incorporate near death experiences into its organizational culture in a positive way.
