PUENTE-PALACIOS, Katia; VIEIRA, Rafaella de Andrade  e  FREIRE, Raphael Andrade Nunes. THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE ON AFFECTIVE COMMITMENT INWORK TEAMS. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.2, pp.311-322. ISSN 1677-0471.

The work teams are cells of performance used quite often in organizations with a view to the benefits they can offer to effectiveness. The reports of scientific research, however, do not show consistent results regarding the process and predictors of the effectiveness of teams. In examining the predictors of behavior and human performance at work it is notable the influence of organizational climate. From these findings, this study aimed to investigate the explanatory power of climate on the effectiveness of teams. To this end, information was collected from 303 team members by using instruments previously validated. A standard regression as a analysis technique to predicted relations was used. The results showed that the quality of relations between the team leader and the members, the space for innovation and knowledge of performance demands explain 26% of the variance of commitment, adopted as an affective criterion of effectiveness. These results show the elements of climate effectively related to the affective bonds established with the team.
