Summary:Context: ambidexterity is a dynamic capability that seeks to balance exploitation and exploration initiatives. The joint development of exploitation and exploration can be achieved through dynamic ambidexterity. Theoretical discussions involving the relationship between the concepts of ambidexterity and dynamic capabilities (DCs) have already been developed in literature. However, the way the three ambidextrous approaches (structural, contextual, and sequential) are based on DCs still needs to be observed by researchers. Objective: this study aims to propose a conceptual and theoretical hypothetical model that explains the influence of various types of organizational ambidexterity (structural, contextual, and sequential) on the development of DCs and their relation to organizational performance. Methodology: the study was developed through an extensive systematic literature review guided by an inductive logic, interpretive epistemology, and qualitative approach. Results: the analyses and discussions made it possible to present a theoretical hypothetical model of dynamic ambidexterity that involves nine constructs and eleven hypotheses. Conclusion: we believe that our study contributes theoretically to the field of organizational Strategies and can enable studies aligned with the concepts of dynamic ambidexterity and DCs. Keywords: organizational ambidexterity; structural ambidexterity; contextual ambidexterity; sequential ambidexterity. Contexto: a ambidestria e uma capacidade dinamica que busca equilibrar iniciativas de exploitation e exploration. O desenvolvimento conjunto de exploitation e exploration pode ser alcancado por meio da ambidestria dinamica. As discussoes teoricas envolvendo a relacao entre os conceitos de ambidestria e capacidades dinamicas (CDs) ja foram desenvolvidas na literatura. Entretanto, a forma como as tres abordagens ambidestras (estrutural, contextual e sequencial) sao baseadas em CDs ainda precisa ser observada pelos pesquisadores. Objetivo: o objetivo do estudo e propor um modelo teorico hipotetico que explique a influencia dos variados tipos de ambidestria organizacional (estrutural, contextual e sequencial) no desenvolvimento das CDs e sua relacao com o desempenho organizacional. Metodologia: o estudo foi desenvolvido por meio de uma ampla revisao sistematica da literatura orientada por uma logica indutiva, epistemologia interpretativa e abordagem qualitativa. Resultados: as analises e discussoes possibilitaram a apresentacao de um modelo teorico hipotetico de ambidestria dinamica que envolve nove construtos e onze hipoteses. Conclusao: acreditamos que o nosso estudo contribui teoricamente para o campo das estrategias organizacionais e pode possibilitar estudos alinhados com os conceitos de ambidestria dinamica e CDs. Palavras-chave: ambidestria organizacional; ambidestria estrutural; ambidestria contextual; ambidestria sequencial.
