Abstract

The research model is quantitative-descriptive and is based on the methodology developed by MIRP and later adapted by other authors. As a result of this research, it was identified that employees perceive the culture of the analyzed organization with a high level of collectivism and high cultural congruence. It was found that employees have a perception that there is a small power distance. At the end of the research, it is possible to affirm that there is a relationship between the organizational culture and the favorable environment for the development of innovations in the analyzed company.
