ABSTRACT:
Operational improvement in 21st century organizations goes through knowledge workers’ productivity increase. Adhocracy may seem the best-adapted organizational structure to an innovative job, with intangible results and without unambiguously defined tasks. This work analyzes how to measure the organizational adhocracy level and its relation with workers’ productivity through the Organizational Adhocratic Level Footprint scale (OALF) and its psychometric properties. The designed scale contrast has been done with a sample of 82 professional workers with team management responsibilities in services sector enterprises in the Comunidad de Madrid. The results got validate the OALF scale functioning and it is discussed the relation between the subscales they form it and another organizational constructs as noticed productivity, satisfaction and role clarity and it is emphasized the existence of a “virtuous circle” amongst them. Finally, the work lists the limitations in its methodology and the main lines of research arising from this contribution.
