The Work Environment Inventory (WEI) instrument was used to measure the climate for creativity for a representative set of IS organizations. The results were compared to those for non‐IS organizations, 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.
