Hello Jeanine,

I think you will find the following paper helpful, I believe it
includes their measure. It's by Lynda Aiman-Smith et al.: Assessing
Your Organization's Potential for Value Innovation,
Research-Technology Management, 2005, pp. 37-42. Let me know offline
if you cannot find the measure.
Best,
Roger C. Mayer

Hi Jeanine,

We have used a five item measure from Hurley, R., & Hult, G. T. M. (1998).
Innovation, market orientation, and
organizational learning: An integration and empirical examination. Journal
of
Marketing, 62(3), 42-54. in the following paper:

Škerlavaj, M., Song, J.-H., Lee, Y. (2010): Organizational learning
culture, innovative culture and innovations in South Korean firms. Expert
Systems with Applications, 37(9): 6390-6403,
doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2010.02.080.

Initial 5 items were in our case reduced to three (B.III 1, 2 and 5) with
CRI=0.88 and AVE=0.79 .

B.III. Innovative culture
1. Innovation proposals are welcome in the organization
2. Management activelly seeks innovative ideas
3.(R) Innovation is perceived as too risky and is resisted
4. People are not penalized for new ideas that do not work
5. Program/project managers promote and support innovative ideas,
experimentation and creative
processes


Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Miha
