Resumo: | Employee involvement is a common goal for most companies. This research started when managers of a familyrun horticultural firm decided to increase employee commitment and improve organizational climate. To help them, we considered the possibility of developing a cultural audit, adapting the tool to the fact that it was a small family business. Therefore, this paper will firstly review the existing literature concerning organizational culture, specially which cultural characteristics should be more valuable to achieve employee commitment and involvement and how to run a cultural audit. Secondly, it will expose the design and implementation of a cultural audit at this company, through an explicative case study that aims to compare the existing culture with the characteristics described theoretically. The study discusses the lack of trust, of a creative atmosphere, and of a shared vission, and suggests some recommendations to develop these characteristics, in order to gain the desired level of employee involvement. Key words: Employee involvement, organizational |

Key words: Employee involvement, organizationalO envolvimento dos empregados é um objectivo frequente nas organizações. A presente investigação surgiu de uma oportunidade criada no seio de uma empresa familiar no sector da horticultura, quando se decidiu aumentar o envolvimento dos empregados e melhorar o clima organizacional. Os investigadores desenvolveram um instrumento de auditoria cultural, adaptado a pequenas empresas familiares. Este artigo revê a literatura sobre cultura organizacional, com particular destaque para os trabalhos em que se relaciona a cultura e o envolvimento dos empregados, e auditoria cultural. Em segundo lugar, é exposto o desenho e a implementação da auditoria cultural na empresa, para o que se recorre a um estudo de caso. Por fim, são discutidos sucessivamente a falta de confiança, a atmosfera criativa, e a visão partilhada, e sugeridas algumas recomendações sobre como desenvolver estes atributos.Instituto Superior de Psicologia AplicadaRepositório do ISPAPardo-del-Val, ManuelaDasí-Rodríguez, SoniaCerver-Romero, Elvirade-la-Torre-Fernández, Amparo2016-10-21T10:10:22Z2006-01-01T00:00:00Z2006-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.12/4995engComportamento Organizacional e Gestão, 12(2), 243-256.0872-9662info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-05T16:40:43Zoai:repositorio.ispa.pt:10400.12/4995Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:22:49.690467Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
