Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify dimensions that can influence the innovation process in
justice organizations.
Design/methodology/approach – This study uses a qualitative approach. Data were collected through
a semi-structured interview script. In all, 23 in-depth interviews were undertaken with lawyers, public
defenders, judges, prosecutors and public officials from the five regions of Brazil. These data were analyzed
using content analysis techniques.
Findings – The perceptions of the interviewees show that the process of innovation in justice organizations
can be influenced by five dimensions: Institutional Environment (institutional level), Leadership (organizational
level), Organizational Resources (organizational level), Cooperative Relations (interorganizational level) and
Innovative Behavior (individual level). These dimensions may promote or restrict innovation.
Originality/value – The results indicate that there are growing efforts to introduce innovations designed to
improve the performance and service delivery of justice organizations. However, there is resistance to innovation
because these organizations are highly institutionalized and consequently seek stability and absence of change.
