RESUMO:

The organizational climate is a recurring object of study in the organizational behavior field, however, there are still theoretical and methodological differences associated with its measurement. Widely used by companies, the organizational climate surveys are often associated with weakly reliable or theoretically based instruments. The focused climate proposal is a way to extrapolate molar climate studies, based on broad concepts of well-being, and enable a specific approach, that can serve as interventions guides to improve performance in the researched areas. In this sense, innovation, a construct in growing expansion and a known competitive differential, especially for small and medium-sized companies, can be conceived as an area of interest for focused study. This study aimed to elaborate and validate an organizational climate scale focused on innovation (innovation climate). To elaborate the instrument, scientific studies on the subject were used, as well as interviews with managers of considered innovative companies. After the semantic validation steps, the 39-item questionnaire was applied to a sample of 164 workers from small and medium-sized companies from the five regions of the country. The factor analysis carried out produced a total explained variance of 64.77%, considered very good in terms of its psychometric properties. Correlations between the proposed scale and two innovation measurement scales were analyzed, the measures being positively related in moderate to high effect sizes. The model presented a final structure of 18 items distributed in 5 dimensions. Considering the statistical indices achieved, especially the explained variance of the scale, this instrument can be conceived as a solid basis for continuing the development of a robust measure of Climate with a focus on Innovation. This research sought to contribute to studies on the Organizational Climate area and focused climate approach.
