• Resumen

  • En este artículo se analiza la influencia de la capacidad de absorción y la cultura organizacional como factores requeridos para que la transferencia de conocimiento sea exitosa y eficiente. La investigación fue de naturaleza cuantitativa, empírica y de sección transversal. La información se examinó, en una primera etapa, a través de un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC), y posteriormente mediante un Sistema de Ecuaciones Estructurales basado en Covarianzas (CBSEM). Los resultados indican que ambas variables inciden positiva y significativamente sobre la transferencia de conocimiento intra-organizacional, y que en el caso de la cultura, existe una influencia directa y otra indirecta, mediada por la capacidad de absorción
