“…Built into the very nature of the public school organization, collectivism is an inherent characteristic of its activities, although there is still space for dealing with certain individual aspects (Hofstede, 2001; Oliveira et al ., 2022; Kareem et al ., 2022; Fernandes et al ., 2023). Concerning objectives, specific or general, one notes that public education is aimed more toward the general and collective (Swanson et al.…”

“…Individualism versus collectivism portrays exactly the relationship between individual and collective aspects that prevail in a given society, reflecting on the way people live together (Hofstede, 2001). This dimension implies on the manner individuals seek to reach their own objectives, by placing side by side those that focus on themselves and close family members, and those that focus on sharing and group sentiment (Kareem et al, 2022). It is one of the dimensions most used when explaining the differences between the different cultures of countries (Swanson et al, 2011;Grobler et al, 2019;Oliveira et al, 2022).…”

Organizational culture as one of the important factors in the organization is a theme often discussed in the research. Many make organizational culture a variable which is then linked to other variables. Therefore, organizational culture research needs to be done to determine whether this topic is still relevant for research. In this paper, researchers are interested in seeing whether organizational culture is still a topic that still needs to be studied, especially organizational culture in universities. Given the times and the factors of external and internal organizational change, the question of organizational culture has become a topic that deserves further discussion. For this reason, research on the development trend of "Organizational Culture at the University" as a research theme is necessary. The method used is the Scopus search engine in random journals to identify related publications. Organizational culture is used as the main search keyword. The data obtained is then exported in RIS format and analyzed to obtain a research development map. The study also used data visualization software called VOSviewer to analyze the results, underlying relationships, and developing trends. The main finding of this study indicates that organizational culture in universities is experiencing a downward trend, and not many studies have addressed this theme. Hence this finding may be useful for similar research in the future.
