Organizational Performance of a Public Higher Education Institution: An Analysis from the Perspective of Absorptive Capacity and Innovation

“…Factor analysis was applied. The results indicate that the Perceived Organizational Performance of the UFCG exerts positive influences on both Perceived Absorptive Capacity and Innovation, unlike what was found in the study of Oliveira et al (2018). The results found demonstrate that the Organizational Performance perceived by students within the UFCG may be positively impacted by Perceived Innovation and Absorptive Capacity, reflecting the institution's abilities to identify and acquire knowledge in the external environment, assimilate it, internalize it, transform it and apply it, resulting in valuable products and services as advocated by Levinthal (1990), Zahra &George (2002).…”

“…The model of Cohen and Levinthal (1990) of three dimensions, Zahra and George (2002) with four dimensions, considered as seminal studies that proposed constructs used in most of the works about this theme. Then, Oliveira et al (2018) work presented the issues related to a model applied in a HEI and it was adapted to this research.…”

“…The following are the models of Cohen and Levinthal (1990) of three dimensions, Zahra and George (2002) with four dimensions, as they are the most important studies that proposed constructs that are cited in most of the works in this theme. Then, the study of Oliveira et al (2018) is presented, which addresses issues related to a model that was applied in a higher education institution and that was adapted for this research. Model (1990) The first authors to present the concept of ACAP were Cohen and Levinthal (1990), as the ability that organizations have to identify, assimilate and explore knowledge that is transformed into useful information for them.…”

“…Of course, other models were developed and adapted to the most varied organizational contexts possible and that are not the object of this work. However, the work of Oliveira et al (2018) is presented below, which served as the basis for this research due to the fact that it addresses the context of higher education institutions.…”

“…In this sense, it is understood that studies that identify knowledge absorption practices in HEIs are extremely relevant to fill some of the existing theoretical gap, as well as the need to adapt to the environment and participate in the clinical view of those who should benefit from the essential activity of an educational institution, the knowledge offered to students through management transparency activities and activities promoting the development of new learning policies as argued by Oliveira and Balestrin (2015), Oliveira et al (2018).…”
