Abstract: | Organizational values of people and respect and interdependent structures of team procedures and task interdependence may
help departments believe their goals are cooperative and thereby coordinate effectively. CEOs in China completed measures
of their organization’s values and interdependent structures and their Vice-Presidents completed measures of the department’s
goal interdependence (cooperative, competitive, and independent) and collaborative effectiveness. Structural equation analysis
suggested that values and interdependent structures promote cooperative, but not competitive or independent, goals that in
turn results in collaborative effectiveness. These results, coupled with previous research, were interpreted as suggesting
that people and respect values, team procedures, task interdependence, and cooperative goals are complementary foundations
for synergy in China and perhaps other countries as well.
