The practice of learning organizations : A case study about a learning organization (English)
Abstract [sv]

Lärande organisationer har sedan slutet av 80-talet kommit att få mycket plats inomorganisationsforskning och begreppet har blivit synonymt med hur företag anpassar sig efter denomvärld de verkar i. Forskningen har visat hur givande lärandet kan vara för företag både i termer avvinst och välmående hos medarbetarna, men empiriska undersökningar har samtidigt visat att lärandeorganisationer inte fått fäste i praktiken. Parallellt med detta finns vissa rön som stödjer det traditionellasynsättet att vissa individer är mer kapabla att fatta strategiska beslut, medan andra är mer lämpadesom enbart utförare, och därmed är i behov av styrning. Vårt syfte var att i detta arbete undersöka hurlärande inom en organisation kan förstås genom en grupp chefers upplevelser. Studien designades somen fallstudie inom ett företag och empirin inhämtades från sex kvalitativa intervjuer. Genomklassificering av resultaten i enlighet med Senges discipliner, visade studien att intervjupersonernasupplevelser till stor del sammanföll med det aktuella företagets profilering som lärande organisation,då arbetssättet beskrevs som adaptivt, både inom den egna organisationen och gentemot omvärlden. Imaterialet kunde vi skönja en bakomliggande människosyn, vilket kunde möjliggöra en diskussion påett aggregerat plan. Vilka implikationer detta har för lärandet kan inte identifieras utifrån studiensresultat, utan kräver vidare undersökningar, förslagsvis innehållande både observationer ochintervjuer med fler medarbetare.

Abstract [en]

Since the end of the 1980s, learning organizations have gained a lot of space in organizational researchand have become synonymous with how companies adapt to the world in which they operate. Researchhas shown how rewarding learning can be for companies both in terms of profit and well-being of theiremployees, but empirical studies also show that learning organizations have not gained foothold inactual practice. In parallel with this, some evidence supports the traditional view that some individualsare more capable of making strategic decisions, while others are more suited to following orders andtherefore need to be controlled. The present study was designed as a case study within a company andthe empirical evidence was obtained from six qualitative interviews. By categorizing the results inaccordance with Senge's disciplines, the results showed that the interviewees' experiences by and largewere consistent with the company's profile as a learning organization, as the work methods weredescribed as adaptive, both within the organization and vis-à-vis the outside world. The materialshowed an underlying attitude towards colleagues, which made a discussion on an aggregated levelpossible. The implications of this relationship for learning could not be identified on the basis of theresults of the present study, and would require further investigations, including both observations andinterviews with more employees.
