• Resumen

  • Purpose–Thisresearch aimed to conceptualize organizations as open and purposeful systems to study how organizational culture (OC) influences firms’ Innovative Performance (IP). The authors proposed goal setting andinternal integration/external adaptation paradox as central to explaining OC’s mediating and suppressing effects on IP. Design/methodology/approach– The authors collected data from 372 Costa Rican organizations and analyzed them with structural equations. This research used the Denison Model instead of the usual typologybased approaches. Findings–ThemissionhadadirectandhighimpactonIP.Themediatedeffectviaadaptabilitywasalsoelevated, as well as the suppressor effect through consistency. There was no effect on IP of involvement. According to these results, the Open and Rational Systems Framework emerge as the main theoretical explanatory concepts. Originality/value– Disaggregating the OC through a performance-oriented dimensional model makes it possible to study the dynamicsbetweentheelementsthatcompounditandfacilitateintegratingthesefindings with other research streams.
