Examining the Dimensions of the Learning Organization Questionnaire Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Although the Dimensions of the Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ) has been used internationally, especially in the field of Human Resource Development, during the last two decades, researchers have reported problems with multicollinearity and a lack of discriminant validity. The purpose of this study was to review the use of the DLOQ in published research and, in particular, from a construct validity perspective. Our aim was to better understand the deployment, outcomes, and utility of the instrument. Toward this purpose, we conducted a systematic literature review examining research using the DLOQ. Concurrently, we reviewed literature at the center of the DLOQ that led to the formation and early validation of the construct and items. These study findings may help researchers and theorists address the utility of the DLOQ and develop a more valid instrument to measure the learning organization culture.
