Public sector innovation has been now widely studied. However, scholars barely consider organizational hybridity as an explanatory variable. Since many public sector organizations are no longer purely public (nor private), organizational hybridity may modify the drivers and processes of innovation. This empirical study, based on a survey, is designed to explore the relationship between organizational hybridity and the characteristics of public sector innovation. While there is no evidence that organizational hybridity affects the frequency and radicality of innovation, our study demonstrates how some dimensions of innovation capacity in the public sector are more or less salient within hybrid organizational settings.
