Relación entre la estructura organizacional y el desempeño organizacional en los Centros Públicos de Investigación

Abstract

Although the implementation of management concepts is very important to an organization's performance, there has been little research so far on possible approaches to measure, monitor, and analyze the relationship between these concepts and organizational performance. Likewise, there are barriers to include indicators of organizational practices and changes in the empirical data collection processes in national surveys. Thus, this research shows that administrative concepts have also an impact on the productivity of organizations. A longitudinal quantitative methodology was used through ten-year panel data (2010-2019) from Public Research Centers, analyzed by linear regression with fixed effects. The main results show that the effects of the structural variables on the productivity of the Centers are not necessarily the same as in other studies. Among the structural variables that had a positive effect on productivity, are administrative intensity, functional diversification, and specialization. While the structural variables that had a negative effect are vertical diversification and decentralization. Therefore, the present findings indicate the instability of the results between different investigations on this topic. These findings provide information for the monitoring and evaluation of the organizational system in the Centers. Likewise, this research allows us to provide new evidence in the field of organizational structure focused on service organizations.
