Abstract :
The Work Environment Inventory (WEI) instrument was used to measure the climate for creativity for a representative set of IS organizations by measuring perceptions of IS professionals. The results were compared to those for non-IS organisations, revealing significant differences. Specific areas of deficiency were identified. IS management can concentrate on those factors to leverage budget and effort to enhance the climate for creativity.<>
