Enhancing continuous learning: Diagnostic findings from multiple companies
通过调查七家组织超500人及诊断访谈，发现每个组织有独特的学习概况，学习环境强的组织更有效，并识别出共同的学习环境因素。
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.
