Organizational Culture: A Concept Captive between Determinants and Its Own Power of Influence

The main purpose of this study is to survey the scientific literature and try through bibliometric means to position the concept of organizational culture (OC) in a changing environment, governed today by sustainability goals. In such conditions, always appear new factors of influence and OC itself can exert a powerful impact on specific features of the organizational environment. The methodological approach comprises and follows four phases developed by the authors in accordance with recent and similar research. Main findings suggest that the interest of authors along time has fallen on the impact of OC at first rather than of OC determinants. Also there are many differences in terms of authors, sources, international cooperation, keywords and impact of scientific research between documents regarding the determinants of OC and documents related to the impact exerted by OC.
