Abstract

PULIDO M, Hernán Camilo; AUZA D, María Margarita  and  RUIZ S, Ingrid Tatiana. From tradition to rationalization: cultural repertories which circulate in a feeding organization for the massive transport system of passengers in Bogotá. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2005, vol.4, n.3, pp.349-357. ISSN 1657-9267.

This study established the cultural repertories used by workers and managers when they were negotiating the organizational life in one company of the new urban passenger’s transport system in Bogotá, Colombia. The cultural repertoires were distributed in the following levels: interpersonal, inter-groups, intra-groups, intra-organization, inter-organizations (Schvarstein, 1992). To collect the data, 20 interviews with workers, participant observations and analysis of organizational documents were made. This study shows that cultural repertoires constitute an alternative approach to organizational culture.

Keywords : Discourse analysis; organizational culture; social psychology of organizations; urban transport.
