RUIZ, Yaz Belida  and  NARANJO, Julia Clemencia. Research on Organizational Culture in Colombia: A view from the Spread in Scientific Journals. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.8, n.2, pp.285-307. ISSN 1794-9998.

There is increasing evidence on the role of organizational culture for attaining higher levels of performance and competitiveness for enterprises. This has led to growing interest in its study, however in the case of Colombia there has not been any research conducted on the subject. This work sees to it from the review of published studies in indexed journals. The results show that research on the topic is nascent, and provides evidence of the importance of culture for the Colombian company. Generally these works deal with characterizing culture but few of them delve into the impact it has on business results. There is a tendency to inward-oriented and inflexible cultures. It is also found in the studies that the descriptive level prevails, neglecting the explanatory level that is what really could guide the work of entrepreneurs.

Keywords : Organizational culture; research; scientific dissemination.
