Resumen
Purpose – Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la influencia del conflicto en el equipo de alta dirección (TMT) sobre el desempeño innovador, considerando el papel moderador de las capacidades de socialización y la descentralización en la toma de decisiones, atendiendo un vacío teórico y empírico en la literatura.
Theoretical framework – La investigación estudia la relación entre el conflicto en el equipo directivo y el desempeño innovador, diferenciando el conflicto de tareas y relaciones, y explorando el rol moderador de las capacidades de socialización y la descentralización.
Design/methodology/approach – Se adopta un enfoque cuantitativo mediante la estimación de tres modelos teóricos que permiten evaluar las relaciones entre el conflicto en el TMT y la innovación, a partir de datos recopilados en organizaciones de diversos sectores.
Findings – Los resultados evidencian que el conflicto de tarea ejerce un efecto positivo sobre el desempeño innovador, mientras que el conflicto de relaciones impacta de forma negativa.
Research Practical & Social implications – Se recomienda fortalecer el liderazgo del TMT mediante programas que mejoren sus habilidades interpersonales, fomentando confianza y comunicación, así como adoptar estructuras descentralizadas que faciliten la innovación.
Originality/value – Este estudio aporta un enfoque novedoso al analizar la interacción entre factores internos del TMT y estructurales de la organización.
