Abstract This study aims to investigate the relationship between the dimensions of knowledge-based dynamic capabilities in innovation performance, operationalized by organizational innovation measures, in organic food production units. The research was carried out using a seven-point Likert questionnaire that measures the relationship between dynamic knowledge-based capabilities (Zheng et al., 2011) and organizational innovation (Camisón & Villar-López, 2010) in a sample of 154 organic food production units collected at ecological fairs in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. For data analysis, structural equation modeling was used. The results indicated that knowledge acquisition, generation and combination skills are important positive determinants for organizational innovation. The approach is groundbreaking in the literature as it addresses and broadens knowledge about the process of building knowledge resources and organizational innovation and adds an analysis model for studies in the interdisciplinary field of dynamic capabilities based on resource knowledge and organizational innovations. It contributes to the theory by reporting on empirical quantitative data through a measurement scale adapted and validated based on the proposal of Zheng et al. (2011).
