Abstract: The proposal of this study is to analyze a model in which the effect of each of the dimensions of organizational commitment (OC) on organizational learning (OL) and its influence on innovation (INN) is examined. A questionnaire was applied to managers of 347 agribusiness small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the three states of the Bajío zone of the Mexican Republic. A quantitative study was carried out, for which a model that presents the different relationships proposed as hypotheses was validated, and with the use of structural equations the results were known. The findings show that affective commitment and continuance commitment have a positive and significant effect on OL, however, normative commitment was found to be non-significant on OL. The last hypothesis of the influence of OL on INN was positive and significant. The findings show that in the agribusiness SMEs examined, the feeling of belonging of employees in the organization should be promoted to a greater extent, as well as the desire to remain in the organization due to the benefits and guarantees that the company offers them to promote learning and the INN in them.
