Abstract: Employee behavior within the organization is governed by organizational culture, which includes values, beliefs, stories, and symbols. Military organizations preserve the sovereignty of the state. Representing the public image and reputation, organizational culture creates a positive atmosphere for the employees. Undoubtedly, certain military metaphors are applicable in the management context. Hence, the study of military organizational culture is essential. This study intends to conceptualize the concept of military organizational culture. In addition, the study also aims at introducing a working definition of organizational culture in the military context and a tool to measure it. The dimensions identified thorough systematic literature review are values, beliefs, symbols, stories, and heroes, and the study intends to develop an instrument to measure the variable of military organizational culture.
