Paper Abstract:
|
The introduction of a learning organisation model brings many benefits to organisations. To evaluate whether it is a
learning organisation, the Marsick and Watkins Dimensions of a Learning Organisation Questionnaire can be used. In the
Czech Republic, only a few studies have been conducted using this questionnaire. The aim of this paper is to compare the
IT sector and the education sector in terms of learning time and assessment of the individual dimensions of the learning
organisation by Marsick and Watkins. In 2018 and 2019, studies with the Dimensions of a Learning Organisation
Questionnaire focusing on the IT sector and the education sector (secondary schools) were conducted in the Czech
Republic. In total, 201 respondents from the IT sector and 121 respondents from secondary schools participated in the
study. When comparing the time spent on self-education in both sectors, it is clear that the employees spend 1 to 20 hours
per month with self-education, while in the IT sector common employees dedicate more to self-education, executives
dedicate more to self-education in the education system. When comparing the average values of the dimensions of a
learning organisation in relation to the time spent on self-education, the results in both sectors are very similar. It can be
argued that the assessment of individual dimensions increases with the time spent on self-education up to 20 hours per
month. The biggest difference in average values can be seen in Dimension 4, while the smallest difference on average
dimension can be seen in Dimension 7. |
