Abstract

the changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic pushed organizations to attempt to remain current and competitive. Thus, the abilityto respond to new demands and adapt to shifting conditions was an unavoidable requirement, which implies innovating in the development oftheir processes. In that sense, the growing importance of innovative work behaviors in the development of organizations has driven researchersto investigate mechanisms that foster such behaviors in workers. The objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of theInnovation Climate Scale (ICS). The instrumental study involved 273 Peruvian workers (50.916 % male) ranging in age between 22 and 76 yearsold (Mean = 45.224), employed for the most part in the private sector (75.092 %). The psychometric analysis explored item clarity and relevanceby means of assessment by expert judges (content validity). Internal structure was assessed via confirmatory factorial analyses, both of obliquemodels and bi-factor. Finally, scoring reliability (alpha coefficient) and construct reliability (omega coefficient) were estimated. This study findsthe ICS items to be clear and relevant, a greater empirical support for the unidimensional model as its internal structure, and an adequate relia-bility. In conclusion there is favorable evidence of validity and reliability for the application of the ICS in Peruvian companies as a useful tool tomeasure the innovative climate perceived by its workers, providing information for decision making and planning of innovation strategies andorganizational creativity
