This study identified the correlations between compensation strategies and the organizational culture typology proposed by Handy (2003), based on the degree of formalization and centralization that identifies the culture: Zeus (power), Apollo (roles), Athena (task) and Dionysus (person). A survey was performed of compensation managers at 76 companies associated with the Salary Information Exchange Group (GRUPISA), and the questionnaires with a construct composed of twelve organizational compensation components were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression We concluded that the compensation variables were correlated in a different fashion with each of the culture types: (i) “Zeus” organizations should emphasize behavioral factors in all spheres of the compensation system; (ii) in the case of “Apollo” organizations the emphasis should be on growth and development opportunities; (iii) in “Athena” organizations the focus should be on financial rewards, and, “Dionysus” organizations should place emphasis on the quality of compensation.
