Abstract

Schein's theory (1992) implies that in an organization with a
“learning culture” employees must participate in decision‐making activities. This study
explores the proposition that there is a relationship between employee participation in decision making and
organizational learning culture (OLC). Qualitative data were used to rate four organizations on the
characteristics of OLC, and quantitative data on participation in decision making were collected from
ninety‐seven rank‐and‐file employees across these four organizations. Results of a regression
analysis did not strongly support this proposal, indicating that there is not a significant predictive value of
participation in decision making on OLC. Suggestions for future research in light of this finding are offered.
