| Tiivistelmä: | This study suggests that collaborative climate is one of the major factors influencing effectiveness of knowledge work. The paper discusses the concept of collaborative climate and developes a survey instrument for its measurement. Results based on data from 8.277 respondents in public and private sector organizations are presented. Collaborative climate tends to improve with age, education level and managerial role. It is generally better in private firms, and seems to peak with mid-size firm level. Employees tend to experience a U-formed appreciation of the collaborative climate. Theories proposing that people reach a "professional plateau" (an S-formed curve) have been supported to some degree. Collaborative climate in the private sector is generally better than in the public sector. Data are used to identify gaps and potentials for improving effectiveness. Two cases of good and bad practice are examined. |
