Abstract
Innovation in the construction industry is affected by the incorporation of new technologies that allow a change in the way of working in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry. The objective of this paper is to analyze the behavior of the main innovations (prod- uct, process and organizational) through a PLS model applied to the Spanish construction industry. The results applied to 257 companies indicate that organizational innovation exerts a mediating effect on the relationship between process and product innovation. Therefore, this research contributes to a better understanding of the innovative behavior of the Spanish construction sector and demonstrates the importance of managing a plan for organizational innovation.
