Abstract: Various corporate groups, such as third-sector institutions in Latin America, have shown increasing interest in evaluating organizational performance as a possible strategy for increasing their effectiveness and competitiveness. From this perspective, this study analyzes the psychometric properties of a scale that assesses organizational performance in third-sector institutions in Latin America. The design was instrumental. The sample consisted of 355 workers from nine Latin American countries, recruited through non-probability sampling. A validity and reliability analysis of the scale confirmed the items and original factors. In this sense, the accessibility and use of a brief and useful tool for measuring organizational performance enriches knowledge about organizational theory by facilitating the comparison and validation of existing approaches or even by suggesting new dimensions that reflect the dynamic complexity of current organizations in Latin America.
