Organizational culture has marked its place especially in the last decades, as a crucial element in the management of organizations: for the implementation of a change, the conformation of corporate identity and image, organizational performance, leadership, innovation , as a resource potentially generating competitive advantage, among others; the objective of this study is to present its evolution through organizational theories showing birth, growth and maturity, through a theoretical documentary review carried out in classic books and specialized databases; The results show that culture has gone from being a secondary element to taking a key role in the study of organizational ones. This establishes the guideline to support that organizational culture as a study phenomenon is at its peak within organizational theories, given the inseparable employee-culture connection and the tendency to explore intangible assets to enhance performance and value of organizations, so that the theories of organization still have a lot to contribute regarding this phenomenon.

Keywords : Group behavior; organizational culture; norms; organizational theories; values.
