Digital technologies have transformed various aspects of life, along with the social and organizational infrastructures that support them. Their increased presence in the workplace has given rise to concepts such as digital organizational culture (DOC)—a framework of shared beliefs, values, and practices that shape individual identities in a digital society and foster diverse, complex patterns of adoption, transformation, or resistance to emerging technological realities. Although prior studies have assessed the psychometric properties of the DOC scale across different populations, limited validation studies have targeted the Latin American context, and, to our knowledge, its measurement invariance has not yet been evaluated. Addressing these gaps, this study evaluated the scale’s validity, reliability, and measurement invariance. Data were collected from 315 Ecuadorian professionals, with the questionnaire translated into Spanish through a back‐translation process. Psychometric properties and measurement invariance were assessed via confirmatory factor analysis. Findings confirmed that the DOC scale is a valid, reliable measure of DOC and established measurement equivalence across groups defined by gender, age, educational attainment, work modality, and type of organization. Additionally, this study highlights the instrument’s applicability in Ecuador, enhancing prospects for future research in the region.
