Abstract

This study presents the results of the adaptation and validation of Denison Organizational Culture Survey (2001) in a sample of 905 employees of 102 Portuguese companies. In the study we confirmed the four-dimensional structure and twelve of the questionnaire indicators. Both correlations between different indicators and dimensions as well their internal consistency, showed similar results to those obtained in the original version that justify the adaptation and validation of this instrument for the context of Portuguese companies in the study.
