Organizational culture - between content and procedural theories, factors and typologies (I)

The present study aims at reviewing the most well-known theoretical-practical models of organizational culture, differentiated into two main categories: content and procedural. The content models are mainly focused on the description of the cultural and organizational components, hierarchized in relation to different axiological criteria such as: subjective-objective, general-particular, etc. The procedural models capture, in addition to cultural-organizational. The study will also review the most well-known integrative models of factors (elements) and the most well-known typologies for describing cultural realities. The practical utility of the study derives from: the degree of coverage of the topic and from emphasizing the essence of the presented contents; capturing their practical usefulness; highlighting the strengths and limitations of cultural-organizational models, which allows us to capture both the similarities and the differences between them. The analysis, as a whole, and the intermediate conclusions can be the basis of any theoretical approaches and interventions aimed at the cultural-organizational field.
