Abstract: The paper presents empirical research on innovative climate in the private and public sectors in Slovenia based on West’s model and the shortened questionnaire developed by Kivimaki and Elovanio. The results reveal that in our case the model is more three-factor than the original four-factor model, very likely because of the non-random sample. Results also show that there are no statistically significant differences in innovative climate between the private and public sector, nor between companies with less and companies with more than 250 employees. Significant differences in innovative climate are indicators just regarding the satisfaction with work and partially regarding employees’ type of work.
