Enhancing continuous learning: Diagnostic findings from multiple companies

Abstract

This article describes, both conceptually and empirically, how salient aspects of an organization's work environment can influence whether continuous learning will occur. Survey results from over 500 people in seven organizations, coupled with data from diagnostic interviews, revealed that each organization has a unique learning profile and relies on different sources of learning to develop individual competencies. Those organizations with stronger learning environments appeared to demonstrate greater organizational effectiveness. Several common learning environment factors were empirically identified. These factors were found to be related to perceived competence and satisfaction with development across organizations. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
