To achieve the objective 41 published documents are identified, between 2005 and 2015, in digital databases such as Scielo, Redalyc and ProQuest. Subsequently, empirical studies, identified on measuring of organizational culture, are synthesized and grouped according to the factors of Morelos and Fontalvo, and according to characteristics of Robbins and Judgey. Finally, the ways in which organizational culture is measured and the percentage participation of the variables of influence in the studies reviewed are determined. The results show that the organizational culture is measured in relation to strategy, structure, group work, owners, leadership, innovation, orientation results and guidance to people. Finally, it is concluded the importance of conducting studies about measurement of organizational culture by identifying new models, methods, tools and variables.
