  • 1.  single-loop learning and double-loop learning

    Posted 02-17-2011 00:26

    Hi, colleagues,

     

    Are there empirical studies that examine whether a set of common OT/OB variables have different or similar effects on single-loop learning and double-loop learning? I am reading a dissertation that states that almost no empirical studies have looked at whether the two types of learning are affected differently by organizational or individual variables. Can you point to some references?

     

    Thanks,

    Dear Kaifeng Yang,

    I made a similar observation when I worked on a generic model of organizational culture (see also 'A Generic Theory of Organizational Cutlure'; freely available at http://ssrn.com/author=1588580).

    I mainly found papers that discussed single- and double-loop learning from a more theoretical point of view. I hardly found studies that directly measured/operationalized these two processes. Currently I search for scales to measure organizational single- and double-loop learning. However, so far, I could only find scales that measure 'organizational learning', but not these two processes as separate variables.

    Probably someone can also provide references related to this issue. I will compile a file with all suggested references, which I can share with you.

    Thank you in advance.
