This paper aims to describe and compare organizational culture partially corresponding to two Research Units (Research Center A and B) belonging to the National University of La Plata (UNLP). The methodology is to determine the types of organizational culture under study. The cultural types who referred include: Paternalistic Culture, Culture Apathetic, anomic Culture Culture Culture Integrative and picky, which arise from the crossing of two major dimensions: organizations focus on results and organizations people orientation. From here you have identified the characteristics of each cultural type present research centers, determining that both share a culture further Integrative. This finding is particularly important because nearly 120 organizations that are part of this project, only 9.5% have dominant Integrative Culture. Also analyzed quantitatively some of the consequences of Integrative Culture in people who work in them.
