This article identifies specialized literature about organizational practices. A review of theoretical and empiric studies, produced by national and foreign authors, gives support to the present study. In spite of the practices constituting a theme that has been studied for a long time in the organizational field, when the literature is reviewed, it is possible to identify gaps, which denounce that the practices present conceptual and methodological shortcomings. The present article was structured, to allow for a general vision on the theme, emphasizing the importance of this construct in the organizational studies, as well as indicating the current research opportunities arising from the identified gaps.
Keywords : Organizational practices; Organizational culture; Organizational behavior.
