TY - JOUR T1 - Organization as an Analytical Level for Investigation Organizational Culture AU - Serpa, Sandro Nuno JO - The Social Sciences VL - 11 IS - 13 SP - 3257 EP - 3263 PY - 2016 DA - 2001/08/19 SN - 1818-5800 DO - sscience.2016.3257.3263 UR - https://makhillpublications.co/view-article.php?doi=sscience.2016.3257.3263 KW - Organization KW -levels of analysis KW -organizational culture KW -cultures of institutionalization within a boarding school KW -interdisciplinarity AB - This research seeks to show what the mobilization of the concept of organization refers to at an analytical level of differentiated inquiry which should be clarified in each investigation with an interdisciplinarity between sociology and history. To this end, a brief conceptual discussion that seeks to illustrate our position, exemplified by the organizational culture of institutionalization in a boarding school will be conducted. It is concluded that organizational culture is found in perpetual transformation. This results from a combination of factors both internal and external to the organization with the actor whether individual or collective playing a given role in this socio-historical process. What emerges is a relative cultural cohesion in which expressions of consent or resistance always arise and a perfect cultural integration never exists. ER -
