“…Furthermore, perceived mutually beneficial outcomes are cited as important in collaborative endeavours (Campbell, 2006;Ofori & Sackey, 2010;Pastoriza, Arin & Ricart, 2009;Wollebaek & Selle, 2007). Managing conflict is a component of the mutuality factor which is supported by Gajda (2004) who proposed that conflict can even be constructive, however proper management thereof is important.…”

“…D'Amour, Ferrada-Videla, San Martin Rodriguez and Beaulieu (2005) also identified particular theories that they deem as contributors to explaining collaboration. An additional concept that is considered to be linked to collaboration is social capital, which is described as the value gained through reciprocal and trusting relationships, with an important emphasis on mutually beneficial outcomes (Campbell, 2006;Ofori & Sackey, 2010;Pastoriza, Arin & Ricart, 2009;Wollebaek & Selle, 2007). Most of these contributive theories provide insight into some of the reasons why individuals and organisations choose to collaborate.…”

Orientation: Collaboration is deemed important in today’s connected and complex business environment. People’s ability to collaborate with each other in organisations is becoming a business imperative. This study focuses on a valid measurement of collaboration within organisations.Research purpose: Thomson, Perry and Miller (2007) developed a collaboration measurement instrument in the United States. The aim of this study was to validate this instrument for a South African context.Motivation for the study: South African organisations face unique challenges that require optimal use of resources to improve business results. Effective collaboration is considered a powerful strategy to achieve this. Measuring the extent of collaboration can help to identify required changes in business practices. As far as could be established, there is no evidence of collaboration instruments developed and validated in South Africa.Research design, approach and method: Additional items were designed for further development of the Thomson, Perry and Miller (2007) Collaboration Instrument sub-scales, as suggested by the authors. The revised questionnaire consisting of 31 (17 existing, 14 new) items was distributed electronically to 4200 employees in two organisations, with 343 valid responses received. Reliability and construct validity were tested, as was convergent validity of the norms factor with the Trust in Teams Scale.Main findings: The results of the study support a four-factor, 29-item model of collaboration when applied to a South African sample. Cronbach’s alpha ranged between 0.85 and 0.95. Confirmatory Factor Analysis fits were at an acceptable level. Convergent validity showed a moderate fit with the data.Practical/managerial implications: South African managers and human resources practitioners can utilise results to foster a collaborative environment.Contribution/value-add: This study builds on the theoretical concept of collaboration as defined by Thomson, Perry and Miller (2007).

“…The results have been found to be parallel to the literature findings. First, it has been evidenced that empirical findings indicate the positive relationship between ethics and social capital (Illingworth, 2012;Ivanova, 2007;Pastoriza et al, 2009). …”

In this study, we examined a relationship between social capital and ethics. For this aim, a questionnaire form, which consists of 35-item, was used out of some demographic variables. The survey was gathered from 339 hospital employees' who are working at governmental and private hospitals. The results indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between social capital and ethics. In addition we found that nurses reported more scores on ethics, and employees working at private sector reported more ethical scores than government employees. Further, several significant differences have been identified according to some demographic variables.

“…O CSO reflete a qualidade efetiva das relações internas da organização, a preocupação partilhada por objetivos comuns e o grau de coesão entre os colaboradores (PASTORIZA; ARIÑO; RICART, 2009 (ARREGLE et al, 2007). Diante dessa discussão, neste estudo, o CSO é considerado um componente essencial das capacidades dinâmicas que habilita a gestão de recursos (BLYLER;COFF, 2003).…”
