This dissertation focuses on analyzing the influence of resource slack on business performance and the promotion of innovation. This topic is extremely important, considering the current business scenario, marked by constant challenges and market dynamics. The research addresses two complementary fronts: the evolution of research on resource slack in business performance (Study 1) and in the promotion of innovation (Study 2). In Study 1, we examined the evolution of the topic of resource slack and business performance through a bibliometric approach, highlighting the inconsistency of the results found in the literature. Furthermore, we explore how different types of slack affect strategic decisions and innovation performance in companies. The findings reveal that effective time off management is essential to optimize performance and that this relationship is mediated by specific variables. In Study 2, we investigated how resource slack influences innovation in companies, considering the economic situation of the country where they are located through a meta-analysis with moderation effects. In both studies, the analyzes advance the understanding of the complex dynamics that involve resource slack. The contributions of this dissertation are diverse. First, we provide a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the impact of resource slack on business performance and innovation, considering disruptive scenarios such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we identify research gaps, such as the need to further explore the relationship between slack and strategic decision making, as well as the limits of resource slack. In short, this dissertation offers valuable insights for managers, researchers and professionals seeking to understand how resource slack can be a strategic tool to boost business performance and foster innovation in a constantly evolving business environment. Its findings have the potential to inform management practices and guide future investigations in this critical area of study.
