The Evolution of the Organizational Culture: A Systematic Literature Review
Year: 2025
Type: review
Abstract: This article provides a systematic literature review (SLR) on Organizational Culture. Our objective was to delineate the progression of these topics over the last 125 years, providing a substantial enhancement above a conventional bibliographic study. This systematic literature review (SLR) surpasses traditional literature reviews (TLR) by offering a comprehensive overview of the subject matter across decades. TLR showcases the most relevant or recent articles rather than their progression. A total of 2,500 records of scientific publications were amassed from four distinct databases using keyword searches, yielding 2,300 articles (200 exclusions) with an aggregate of 1,801,726 citations, excluding patents. We performed a bibliometric study with these data. The number of citations about organizational culture has risen ninefold in the last 50 years and is anticipated to double in the coming decades. Our data also reveal patterns in research investigations and the regional distribution of scholarly contributions. Additionally, our work presents implications and suggestions for future research in this domain.
