Abstract: The present study aims to achieve an evolutionary synthesis of the approaches to defining the organizational culture, aiming to capture the historical perspectives of approach, the coordinates and mechanisms of definition, the structure of cultural dimensions from the perspective of an integrative classification. Along with the procedural perspective of the organizational culture, the approaches of the definition aim at outlining a functional, integrative definition. The study finally captures the cultural-organizational hypostases, cultural attributes and functions, concluding by emphasizing the place of organizational culture in the space of internal and external conditioning, micro and macro-organizational. The analysis can be useful to all specialists who want to deepen the concept for theoretical and practical approaches.
