Abstract

This work makes use of a quantitative approach to study the organizational culture, the competing value model. The relation between culture, human resource (HR) practices and productivity is reviewed. Specialized literature is full of proposals suggesting that organizational culture affects productivity, that HR management influences culture and that is shifts with different organizational cultures. A comparison of nineteen enterprise cultures showed that organizations do not present a pure cultural type but a concurrence of different types, that HR practices and productivity do not vary in different cultural clusters and that HR practices are not significant predictors of culture.The outcome implications on organizational change and in future organizational culture research are reviewed.
