We use inelastic neutron scattering to study energy and wave vector dependence of spin fluctuations in SrCo₂As₂, derived from SrFe_2-xCo_xAs₂ iron pnictide superconductors. Our data reveal the coexistence of antiferromagnetic (AF) and ferromagnetic (FM) spin fluctuations at wave vectors Q_AF=(1,0) and Q_FM=(0,0)/(2,0), respectively. By comparing neutron scattering results with those of dynamic mean field theory calculation and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments, we conclude that both AF and FM spin fluctuations in SrCo₂As₂ are closely associated with a flatband of the e_g orbitals near the Fermi level, different from the t_2g orbitals in superconducting SrFe_2-xCoxAs₂. Therefore, Co substitution in SrFe_2-xCo_xAs₂ induces a t_2g to e_g orbital switching, and is responsible for FM spin fluctuations detrimental to the singlet pairing superconductivity.
