Abstract

While red tape and organizational culture are key conditions for public sector innovation, their effects remain largely untested in the collaborative innovation context. This research examines the effects of four types of organizational culture on collaborative innovation, compares the effects of red tape at the organizational level and red tape related to projects, and explores the interrelationship between these variables. A survey among top managers of the Belgian federal and Flemish administrations (n=920), shows that project red tape and organizational red tape have different effects on collaborative innovation, while both a developmental and a rational culture positively affect collaborative innovation.
