Abstract: Today, identifying knowledge and creating innovation in organisations are of great importance. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationships between absorptive capacity (ACAP) and ambidextrous organisational culture and their combined effects on innovative performance. The constructs were developed based on a comprehensive literature review. Using empirical survey data collected from 57 small and medium-sized enterprises, we applied LISREL to evaluate structural equation modelling to test our hypotheses. Three questionnaires were used for data collection. Based on empirical research, the results indicated that the ACAP had a significant effect on innovative performance and ambidextrous organisational culture. It was also observed that ambidextrous organisational culture plays a totally mediating role between ACAP and innovative performance. This appears to be the first research to test the relationships between ACAP and ambidextrous organisational culture and their consequences in the particular context of innovative performance including innovation in products and in processes.
