ABSTRACT: Organizational culture in a company is a system that includes values and beliefs that must be respected by all members of that company and that they have in common, because through the organizational culture in the company, among employees at all levels, a sense of community and belonging is created. Organizational culture is a special form of behavior and guidance of individuals within the company, and the basic indicators of organizational culture are the tradition and history of the organization, the vocabulary of the organization, the physical environment, customs and status symbols. Organizational culture is the result of a long-term process in which the attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of all employees are gradually shaped and represents the personality and uniqueness of each company and organization. A family business in itself is a specific form of business, in which family values and the emotional connection of all employees are highly present, and at the same time the goals of the company are different than in some other forms of business. Organizational culture in a family business is extremely important because it connects all family members or employees to achieve a common goal and encourages a loyal and stable organization, which can lead to the creation of a competitive advantage on the market.
