Organizational Learning Environments: Effects and Perceptions of Learning Constraints.
Expert InsightsPublished 1972
The experiments described in this paper explore the effects, interactions, and value perceptions relating to selected characteristics of individual learning environments commonly found in large business organizations. Specifically, they concern how learning behavior is affected by reward structure and opportunities to alter the learning environment by purchasing improvements in the precision and immediacy of feedback information. The purpose of the study is to define some of the conditions under which differences in productivity may be expected to occur as a function of reward structure, and to suggest hypotheses explaining the effects of these conditions. 238 pp. Bibliog.
