Resumo: This article presents and discusses concepts and views that help understand fea- tures and peculiarities of the organizational culture in public organizations in Brazil. It begins by discussing the concepts and different approaches to culture and organizational culture, specifically by Fleury, Frost, Schein, and Hofstede. It then deals with the culture of public organizations, presenting a brief history of these organizations in Brazil, as well as their concepts and features, among which bureaucracy, centralized authoritarianism, patronizing, lack of continuity, and political interference stand out. Such characteristics interfere with the way people work in these organizations, where attachment to rules and routines, hierarchy overrating, patronizing, and attachment to power can be identified. This is important for the definition of internal processes, for the way people relate to innovation and change, for the construction of organizational values and beliefs, and for human resource policies. The article concludes by pointing out the fundamental features to be considered when dealing with the culture of public organizations in Brazil.

Inicialmente, são tratados os conceitos e diferentes abord- agens de cultura e cultura organizacional, especificamente de Fleury, Frost, Scheine Hofstede. A seguir, o artigo aborda a cultura de organizações públicas, apresentando um pequeno histórico das organizações públicas no Brasil, bem como seus conceitos e características, entre as quais se destacam a burocracia, o autoritarismo centralizado, o paternalismo, a descontinuidade e a ingerência política. Essas características interferem no modo como os trabalhadores atuam nessas organizações, observando-se o apego às regras e rotinas, a supervalorização da hierarquia, o paternalismo nas relações e o apego ao poder. Isso é importante na definição dos processos internos, na relação com inovações e mudança, na for- mação dos valores e crenças organizacionais e nas políticas de recursos humanos. Na conclusão, o artigo salienta os aspectos fundamentais a serem considerados ao se lidar com a cultura de organizações públicas no Brasil.Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EBAPE)2006-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/680510.1590/S0034-76122006000100005Brazilian Journal of Public Administration; Vol. 40 No. 1 (2006); 81 a 106Revista de Administração Pública; Vol. 40 Núm. 1 (2006); 81 a 106Revista de Administração Pública; v. 40 n. 1 (2006); 81 a 1061982-31340034-7612reponame:Revista de Administração Públicainstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6805/5387Pires, José Calixto de SouzaMacêdo, Kátia Barbosainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-08-19T13:30:16Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/6805Revistahttps://ebape.fgv.br/publicacoes/rapONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||rap@fgv.br1982-31340034-7612opendoar:2022-08-19T13:30:16Revista de Administração Pública - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
