This study is entirely dedicated to cooperative learning. From the literature review it emerged that very little work has been done in this area. This study merges the concept of CTI (knowledge creation, knowledge transfer and knowledge integration) developed by Zarraga and Gracia-Falcon (2003) and the work of Janz and Prasamphanich (2003). They conducted their research in Spain and the United States respectively, while the present study is conducted in Pakistan. This study provides information on what cooperative learning is, what are the requirements to generate cooperative learning in organizations? Furthermore, the study explored what the effect of cooperative learning will be on individual will and organizational outcomes. The study also explains the term synergy. Employee autonomy and organizational climate are observed as antecedents of cooperative learning, while individual satisfaction and job performance are tested as an outcome. The LISREL software package is used to test the research model and hypothesis. The data was collected from 127 professionals (information systems development) working in software houses. Managerial implications and future research have been discussed in this study. Keywords: cooperative learning, autonomy, organizational climate, satisfaction, performance, knowledge creation, knowledge transfer, knowledge integration, professional information system, teamwork, LISREL, structure equation model.1 .
