Abstract
The Netherlands is at the beginning of a major challenge regarding its aging population. This, combined with an increasing shortage of professionals working in care, requires a renewed approach to elderly care to meet this demand. A community form of organization can ensure that older people can live independently for longer, combined with necessary care. To achieve this, several organizations collaborate. This study aimed to identify the impact of collaboration on quality of working life, as little is known about this. Through semi-structured interviews, several professionals were questioned about collaborating within one community in Limburg. In addition, several more experts with knowledge about community form of organizing were interviewed about the study. The analysis showed that several points contribute to a higher quality of working life when it comes to collaboration in a community. This research took place in one community. Follow-up research could focus on a multi-case study to compare results from different communities.
