Resumen

En la actualidad, no cabe duda de que la tecnología es protagonista esencial en el contexto laboral y organizacional. Su estudio se ha constituido como un dominio propio de los psicólogos del trabajo y de las organizaciones. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en revisar la literatura existente sobre la innovación tecnológica. Desde hace algún tiempo, se han formulado diferentes perspectivas teóricas en torno a este campo aunque, en la actualidad, requieren una revisión. Este trabajo proporciona una perspectiva alternativa más reciente y evolucionada sobre la innovación tecnológica desde la consideración de ésta como un proceso de cambio organizacional.
