Resumen
DA COSTA, Silvia et al. Perception of innovation in organizations. Perception of innovation in organizations of Spain and Latin América. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.4, pp.1-24. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy15-4.piop.
This study examines the perception of factors of innovation in samples of experts and workers from Spain and Latin-America, using a scale based on meta-analytic evidence. The scale of collective behavior and attitudes favorable to innovation shows satisfactory reliability and criterion validity. Participants perceive that role, group, leadership, climate and psychological factors of innovations exist at a moderate level, while perceive that organizational structure of innovation are present at a lower extent. Valuation of innovation is perceived as higher than actual degree of it, and both valuation and frequency of innovation are perceived as higher in others organizations than in the organization to which participants belongs. Perceived level of innovation was strongly associated to organizational and role factors, and in a lower extent to leadership factors, while individual and group factors were less relevant, congruently with meta-analysis. Positive and innovative leadership play a meditational rol between organizational and role factors and innovation. Implications of results for organizations are discussed.
