SUAREZ-MORA, Gloria; FAZIO-ZEGARRA, Alessandra  e  MANZANARES-MEDINA, Eduardo. Psychometric properties of the Organizational-Learning Levels and Conditions Scale (for its Spanish acronym, ENCAO) in employees of a Peruvian private company. Act.Colom.Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.2, pp.319-341.  Epub 13-Ago-2019. ISSN 0123-9155.  https://doi.org/10.14718/acp.2019.22.2.15.

The objective of the present study was to analyze the psychometric properties (evidences of validity and reliability) of the ENCAO in employees of a private company of the hydrocarbon sector in Metropolitan Lima. A sample of 384 participants was evaluated, of whom 64 % were women and 36% men, aged between 19 and 56 years (M = 29.57 years, SD = 7.33). As evidences of validity related to the internal structure, an exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) and a confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA) were carried out, resulting in a structure of four related factors (Organizational Learning and Culture, Social Learning, Group Learning and Strategic Individual Learning) with the 21 items on the scale that explained 60.33 % of the total variance and with adequate goodness of fit indexes (x 2 = 371.6, x 2/df = 2.03, CFI = .99, RMSEA = .041). As a source of external validity, moderate correlations (between .31 and .46) were obtained with the variable Job Satisfaction. The Cronbach alpha coefficients of the four factors obtained ranged between .60 and .84. It is concluded that the ENCAO and its derived scores are a valid and reliable measure to measure organizational learning in the evaluated labor sector.
