Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this research was to develop a framework for identifying and explaining the factors influencing organizational ambidexterity in scientific and technological tourism organizations affiliated to ACECR. Methodology: The research approach was qualitative, and its strategy was based on Grounded Theory. Technology specialists of the country's ACECR comprised the statistical population including managers, faculty members and experts, all of whom had experience and expertise in the field of technological businesses in tourism domain. The data were collected through a semi-structured method applying ATLAS.ti software. Findings: After analyzing the interview texts, we identified the dimensions of organizational ambivalence including the ability of the organization to explore and exploit the tourism areas and to utilize the relevant technology for innovation, as the pivotal factor, in the subsidiaries. Then, causal, mediating, and moderating variables were developed in the final framework. The findings show that multi-faceted management and leadership, diverse human resources, and structural variety are effective factors of the establishment of organizational ambidexterity. In addition, the establishment of organizational ambidexterity in scientific and technological tourism organizations of ACECR leads to such consequences as value creation, completion of the technology chain, organizational development, and reduction of organizational contradictions. Originality: Identifying the key factors of success in this field can open the way for organizations which are active in the tourism industry. The research results can serve as a basis for formulating policies and macro plans in this area. The interdisciplinary nature of this study, which combines management knowledge and technology, can be considered as the contribution of this research.�
