Abstract
Due to the relevance of innovation as competitive advantage, literature has tried to identify its main determinants. Today, organizational culture is considered to be on of the key elements both for enhancing or inhibiting innovation. However, empirical research on this issue is still very scarce. Hence, up to now it is not clear how different types of cultures affect innovation. This paper analyzes this issue using data collected from 446 Spanish firms. The findings show that there is a significant relation between the type of organizational culture and innovation. In particular, they show that adhocratic cultures have a positive effect while hierarchical cultures affect negatively innovation.
