Resumen

La intensidad administrativa se ha tratado en la literatura como un concepto unidimensional determinado por el tamaño de la organización. En este trabajo se considera que la intensidad administrativa es multidimensional ya que existen diferentes variables que la determinan. Se utilizó una metodología cuantitativa longitudinal a través de datos de panel (2010-2020) correspondiente a los Centros Públicos de Investigación. Esta investigación se centró en tres aspectos sobre la intensidad administrativa: primero, se analizó a través de regresión lineal si las medidas de razón de la intensidad administrativa y el tamaño de la organización distorsionan o sesgan los resultados para analizar las economías de escala administrativa, además se probó que estas medidas de razón tienen implicaciones correctas y apoyan la teoría de economías de escala administrativa relacionada con el tamaño de la organización, segundo, se identificaron los efectos de tres determinantes de la intensidad administrativa (tamaño de la organización, diferenciación funcional y especialización). El tamaño tuvo un efecto negativo en la intensidad administrativa pero al agregar el término cuadrático a la variable de tamaño se observó una relación no lineal. La diferenciación funcional tuvo un efecto positivo sobre la intensidad administrativa. La relación entre la intensidad administrativa y especialización fue positiva, y tercero, la intensidad administrativa tuvo un efecto positivo en la productividad. Esta investigación muestra evidencia empírica con implicaciones prácticas para las políticas organizacionales de los Centros Públicos de Investigación.
