Learning organization constructs have gained conceptual attention but remain underresearched empirically, posing challenges for assessing their impact on performance. This article aims to show that a learning culture can be adequately measured and validated by linking it to organizational performance. The authors develop measurement methods that relate learning culture indicators to performance outcomes.
