Despite its growing popularity in the biomedical literature, the particular phenomenon of translational research management has not been addressed from an organizational and strategic perspective yet. Our study aims to fill this gap by identifying a set of managerial practices that could influence how knowledge is created, amplified and transferred from biomedical research both to clinical practice and the productive sector. As a result of the theoretical review, we have proposed a preliminary model to guide our empirical work. We have developed an exploratory case study to gather organisational information from an outstanding translational research center. The results obtained from the analysis have allowed us to build an induced model of managerial practices that both affect the creation, integration and transfer of knowledge in the translational research organization studied, as well as derives a set of research propositions. Finally, we present the main academic and managerial implications of the work, together with its limitations and related future research lines.

La literatura científica pone de manifiesto la importancia de la creatividad, tanto en la valoración de grandes proyectos como en cualquier decisión de la dirección, ya que afecta a los trabajadores. Son las personas que trabajan día a día en la empresa las que determinan el éxito o el fracaso de las organizaciones. Debido a la propia naturaleza de la creatividad, deben analizarse enfoques en el nivel individual. En la actualidad, los niveles de estrés en los trabajadores, la insatisfacción laboral con el statu quo y los conflictos van al alza. Los estresantes en el trabajo conducen a respuestas emocionales y por tanto podrían mitigar la voluntad de ser creativo. Es necesaria la inclusión de estas variables para predecir la creatividad y, por tanto, la innovación. Analizando el seno de la empresa es posible minimizar las causas del estrés, insatisfacción y conflictos para conseguir atenuar la merma del rendimiento individual y creativo. Incluso determinados individuos pueden interpretar las situaciones negativas como desafíos y verse motivados. Por ello se analizan características del individuo que podrían favorecer comportamientos proactivos como la inteligencia emocional y el feedback de los compañeros.
