Abstract
In this short paper we present our research idea on relationships between specific indices of organizational climate (team/management climate), level of individual self-efficacy as a personality attribute, and software practitioners’ readiness for agile software development. Research results can help organizations predict the readiness of employees to implement agile methods and/or to work effectively in an agile environment.
