Abstract

There is little research on the effects of organizational culture and organizational climate in community coalitions. This study investigated School Readiness Coalitions during their formative period to test the association between indicators of organizational culture and climate and the influence on collaborative capacity to plan services. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis found three factors to explain 48% of the variance in coalition collaborative capacity to plan services. Findings suggesting a constructive culture that is both supportive and individualistic include sufficient autonomy to make decisions and contributions; and a positive coalition climate for members was dependent on job satisfaction in their home organization enabling, which then translated to working and planning together as a group. Further research is needed to understand the complexity in the coalition context than previously recognized.
