Summary
The study relates success, the role of personal and professional skills and teamwork on the one hand to the importance of collaborative environment on the other. The components of the collaborative system are of particular importance for the success in achieving the common goals. Moreover, even when personal and professional skills are of very high quality and the team is efficient, its actual performance may deviate in varying degrees from the expected results because of the collaborative environment. It is a source of social activity because it modifies the behaviour of the team members. The study examines the relation between collaborative environment and motivated passivity. An emphasis is put on its role and importance for individual’s deficit of ideas. In this respect the study examines two main issues - education and communication and the shortcomings of institutions and the social environment. It defines the specific problems that underlie the deficit of ideas, which is related to motivated passivity. This in turn affects the efficiency of the social system. The study provides guidelines for implementation of changes to overcome motivated passivity as a social phenomenon.
