Estructura organizacional, Relaciones inter-organizacionales, DesempeñoResumen
El presente trabajo investiga las influencias que tienen las principales variables de la estructura organizacional sobre las relaciones inter-organizacionales de cooperación en Instituciones Prestadoras de Servicios de Salud (IPS) públicas de Colombia, mediante un estudio explicativo de corte trasversal aplicando un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados indican que la descentralización favorece el intercambio de información, la complementariedad de recursos y la congruencia de objetivos y valores, mientras que la formalización favorece solo el intercambio de información. Además se evidenció la incidencia positiva del intercambio de información y la congruencia de objetivos y valores sobre el desempeño de la relación inter-organizacional en términos de satisfacción.
