Effective HR systems: The impact of organizational climate and organizational strategy on strategic behaviour Abstract This paper investigates which configurations of organizational climate and organisational strategy lead to strategic employee behaviour which is crucial for organizations to reach their goals. Based on literature research and empirical research in five companies in the technical sector in the area around Enschede (n = 160), this paper attempts to find out if strategic employee behaviour is related to the fit between the organizational strategy as perceived by all employees and the organizational climate within an organisation. The results show that fit is negatively related to innovative work behaviour. Customer oriented behaviour; knowledge sharing and affective commitment are not significantly related to fit.
