Summary/Abstract: Culture exists at multiple levels, ranging from broad societal or national cultures to individualized corporate or organizational cultures. Within an organization, culture serves the same function as personality does to the individual-a hidden yet unifying theme that provides meaning, direction, and mobilization. The importance of studying organizational culture is determined by its practical valences, this variable being used increasingly in maximizing the performance of an organization. The present paper aimed to study the connections and influences that may arise between national culture and organizational structures.
