Based on a review of literature from the fields of information science, organizational theory and information systems, a conceptual model and methodological procedures for the identification and interpretation of constituent elements of informational culture were developed. An empirical research was carried out on a large organization for testing the model and analyze their information culture. The survey results suggest that the concept and the proposed methodology can be used in future research on information culture.

34. The methodologicalapproach
Object of research: the information culture in organizations, its concept and its manifestations through the values and behaviors expressed by employees.
Search for the term information culture in CAPES Journals Portal in 2258 pointed articles / newspaper articles / reviews / textual resources / books / reference entries since 1942 including 1507 peer-reviewed articles since 1971
Searchfor a model
organizationalfield
1507 articles
25 differenttopics
Data collected from the empirical data reveal:
Different fields use the expression;
Few areas 'dare' to define the term;
There is an implicit concept that seems to be common to most;
There are few empirical studies that propose a model for the analysis of organizational culture.
