ABSTRACT
The conception that focuses on the interactions between social actors views culture as the symbolic and expressive aspect of human behavior. Inevitably, organization “Theta” has several organizational cultures associated with specific sectors of the organization, which are not joined in a relatively stable, consistent and harmonious configuration, but compete or are in conflict with each other. For the process-centered conception as well, the symbolic and expressive aspects of organization members’ involvement are important features of an organizational culture, but should not be over-emphasized. It is more appropriate to speak of cultural processes: culture is not to be analyzed as something an organization has, but as a fundamental part of what the organization becomes. Denying that culture has an independent ontological status, some scholars refer to the concept to emphasize a particular standpoint held by the researcher, which, ultimately, is itself oriented towards values.
