Evaluation of the Dimensions of Organizational Learning Model - DLOQ
Main Article Content
Abstract
Organizational learning is one of the most relevant concepts in recent years. It allows the generation of competitive advantages for an organization. However, its operationalization and measurement is the subject of theoretical and empirical debate. In this research, an analysis of reliability and validity was carried out through a confirmatory factorial analysis of Dimenssions of Learning Organization Questionnaire proposed by Marsick and Watkins was carried out, one of the most used instruments in several contexts but not in emerging economies. A representative sample of workers from technology companies was surveyed and the results allowed to conclude that the instrument meets the criteria of reliability, convergent and divergent validity, however it did not show a good fit with the data.
