Particularities of Organizational Culture in Romanian Companies

In the process of transformations in the contemporary economy, the culture of the organization has a special role, which is a determining factor in achieving success in the competitive environment and a defining element, essential for managerial progress. Knowledge and, in particular, awareness of the elements of the culture of the organization are necessary in the practice of modern management. American and Western European specialists presented the organization's culture as a major factor in the organization's sustainability and economic development, starting with the performances of Japanese companies registered after the Second World War. In this paper we set out to study the defining elements of the culture of Romanian organizations after 12 years of accession to the European Union and 11 years after the onset of the global economic and financial crisis. We presented the steps taken to analyse the culture of the organizations; we reproduced the answers of the questioned subjects and their interpretation. Also, we presented the results of our research from the cultural dimensions identified by Geert Hofstede and we also performed a comparative analysis with the study undertaken by Interact and Gallup Organization Romania, in 2005.
