Collaborative culture, Information sharing, CooperativeAbstract
The research investigated how collaborative culture and relationship commitment are reflected in information sharing and improvements in organizational performance. The methodological approach was qualitative and descriptive. Data were collected through interviews with rural producers and the manager of an agricultural cooperative based in a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais. Content Analysis was used to process and analyze the data. The results showed that farmers see the importance of cooperating, committing themselves and sharing information with the cooperative because of the benefits obtained, which is also perceived by the cooperative. Thus, everyone makes efforts to achieve better performance, including financial and non-financial measures. It can be concluded that the collaborative culture and the commitment to the relationship between the cooperative and rural producers optimize the information sharing process, which in turn leads to improvements in organizational performance, validating the propositions presented. The research contributes to the flow of studies on the subject, as well as to the practical context by highlighting the importance of creating an environment that encourages joint work, guaranteeing the success of everyone involved.
