Conformidade ou oposição: como as culturas organizacionais se relacionam com a cultura nacional

Abstract

While sharing universal characteristics from a biological point of view, each human group has developed its own characteristics throughout its formation process. The ability of human beings around the globe to attribute different meanings and degrees of importance to the same objects and events shows an extremely diversified process, permeated by specificities. Nevertheless, human groups have common characteristics in their social relationships even if they are distant from a geographical and cultural point of view. From this perspective, the objective of this study is to carry out a theoretical review in order to identify how organizational cultures relate to national culture, and what are these forces that provide uniformity in organizational cultures.
