The purpose of this study is applied and its method is a descriptive survey. The data collection tool is a questionnaire. The statistical population of the study is food companies in Toos industrial zone of Mashhad. From this statistical population, 102 companies were selected by simple random sampling. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and Smart PLS software were used to analyze the data and hypotheses of this study. The findings show that the implementation of egalitarian and collaboration policies has a direct and significant impact on organizational innovation performance and the organizational knowledge absorptive capacity plays a mediating role in the relationship between egalitarian and collaboration.
