What is it about?
Although collaborative health projects are becoming more common nowadays, many fail to sustain the long-term commitment and resources necessary for success. Using samples of Community-Academic Health Partnership projects from German-speaking areas, we show that collaborative leadership and sufficient financial resources can raise the project workers' hope. Hopeful workers then tend to be more committed, less stressed in reaching their project goals and perform better in their projects.

Why is it important?
Hope is a job resource that can positively influence workers cognitively and motivationally. Therefore, studying how it functions in complex, resource-intensive collaborative projects can help workers perform better in achieving goals and be more resilient and engaged in challenging work. Since an individual's hope can be developed through training and coaching and it can spread to others, organizational leaders can leverage this resource to enhance project workers' performance, productivity and engagement, especially when financial project resources are scarce.
