Uma meta-análise para identificar variáveis de cultura que impactam
 desempenho

Resumo

Purpose – Identify from the qualitative meta-analysis of articles published in academic journals the culture variables that impact the performance and productivity of organizations. Design/Methodology – We used the meta-analysis with a qualitative focus as a methodological resource with the objective of making a systematic review to consolidate a vision about the advancement of academic research in the isolation of culture variables that impact the performance and productivity of organizations. The qualitative focus was derived from the interest in the understanding of both the variables studied and the theoretical reference that supported the proposed models. Findings – It was possible to verify in the meta-analysis the variables with a relevant impact on performance. However, the isolation of cultural variables associated with performance was not identified. By undertaking a complementary effort it was possible to associate the most relevant variables studied and related cultural variables. Research limitations – The small sample of articles analyzed does not guarantee the coverage of all approaches to the subject and not even its transposition to different cultural contexts. It is also important to highlight the difficulty of selecting articles that seek a causal relationship between culture and performance variables. Practical implications – The present study presents relevant results regarding the impact of managerial practices on the performance of employees and organizations, focusing in particular on the need for greater adaptability in management style and observation of the cultural context. From the academic point of view it is evident the need to undertake research aimed at isolating cultural variables that affect the performance of organizations and institutions. Social implications – The study highlights the need for a better understanding of the impacts of the sociocultural context both in the implementation of management practices and leadership as in the performance of organizations. Originality – The study conducted a search focused on cultural variables that impact organizational performance. The adoption of this practical perspective for the study aims to provide organizations with the conditions for a more effective action in the management of changes that are necessary for the adaptive response of organizations to a constantly changing environment.
