Resumen
La pandemia por COVID-19 obligó a muchas organizaciones a recurrir al teletrabajo. Ello generó múltiples efectos, tanto positivos como negativos, en diversos tópicos como satisfacción laboral, productividad o comunicación. Uno de estos tópicos es el elemento más importante de toda organización: su cultura. Para clarificar el tema, el presente artículo examina diversos estudios publicados en los últimos cuatro años que analizan el vínculo entre cultura organizacional y teletrabajo pospandemia. El resultado es el hallazgo de un impacto recíproco: el teletrabajo afecta la cultura de las organizaciones, mientras esta influye en cómo se adaptan al teletrabajo. En consecuencia, el artículo distingue algunos descubrimientos, limitaciones y recomendaciones de aquella literatura y destaca la importancia de conocer la cultura de la organización antes de su adaptación al teletrabajo.
