Abstract
En 中文
This study aimed to develop a measurement scale for the ability to learn from experiences based on experiential learning theory. Following a scale development approach, we conducted interviews with high-performing employees (n = 25) to collect items of the scale and subsequently performed a two-wave questionnaire survey of employees (n = 999) in Japanese organisations to identify the dimensions of the ability to learn from experience. We conducted a series of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to develop and evaluate the measurement scale. The results generated a four-dimensional scale with 22 items consisting of proactive challenge, emotional control through dialogue, learning from others, and meta-reflection and adjustment. These dimensions were positively associated with the three types of psychological satisfaction (autonomy, relatedness, and competence) and work engagement. These findings were discussed both theoretically and practically.
