Innovation culture, Innovation in the public sector, Organizational culture, Systematic literature reviewAbstract
Purpose: This study sought to identify elements and factors that contribute to the development of an innovation-focused organizational culture, examining its construction and the challenges faced in its implementation.
Originality/Value: When discussing the culture of innovation, it is widely accepted that the topic is relevant, especially for addressing inefficiencies that managerialism, a post-bureaucratic movement, has not yet addressed. Therefore, this study systematically reviews the literature on innovation culture in the public sector, a topic that is still little explored in qualified literature.
Methods: The systematic review method utilized the Parsifal platform to investigate studies published between January 2018 and April 2023.
Results: The results indicate that behavioral factors such as leadership, creativity, knowledge sharing, and organizational climate are unanimous. The implementation process also acknowledges the multiplicity of challenges, emphasizing that managers cannot ignore the specificities of their employees in order to achieve institutional maturity.
Conclusions: In terms of future research agenda, use these findings to develop a more suitable instrument to measure the level of innovation culture developed in public institutions.
