Revisión documental sobre la cultura organizacional en empresas familiares.

Abstract

The study focused on the analysis of organizational culture in family businesses, highlighting the philosophical foundations, the distribution of the internal structure, and the dynamics that influence the functioning of family businesses. Therefore, the main purpose of this research was to analyze organizational culture through documentary sources, theoretical approaches, and relevant findings on family businesses. This study applied a qualitative, documentary approach. The sampling was non-probabilistic, based on criteria, considering inclusion criteria such as thematic relevance, academic rigor, relevance (within the last 10 years), and open access availability. Organizational culture in family businesses is based on an identity that fuses family and business values with an intergenerational vision. The organizational structure is evolving from an informal, founder-centered model to one that is formalized and professionalized. Internal dynamics highlight the importance of effective intergenerational communication, transformational leadership, and formal mechanisms for managing conflict and succession. It was concluded that the organizational philosophy merges family and business values with an intergenerational vision, creating a competitive advantage. The structure is evolving toward balanced formalization to maintain agility and control.
