Abstract:
An earlier study by Chakrabarty and Rogé evaluated the dimensionality of the Organizational Learning Survey for assessing the learning capability of organizations developed by Goh and Richards. In this paper, the survey was re-evaluated for unidimensionality using both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Retaining 18 of the original 21 items was sufficient to establish unidimensionality. A number of different confirmatory models validated the unidimensional measurement model on two independent data sets. Implications for further empirical research using this inventory are discussed.
