This study aims to adapt and validate the Climate for Innovation Scale in work teams proposed by Scott and Bruce (1994) to the Brazilian context. Through exploratory factor analysis, we examined a sample of 592 employees from 140 work teams across different Brazilian states and the Federal District. Results revealed three distinct factors in the scale’s structure: innovation support, innovation inhibitors, and resource supply. Although good fit and reliability indices were observed, it is important to note that the predominance of public servants in the sample may limit the generalizability of the findings to other organizational contexts. However, the findings suggest that the adapted scale could be a valid and reliable tool to assess innovation climate in work teams in the Brazilian context.
