Learning Organizations Empower Employees
Skill and knowledge acquisition are obviously useless unless they can be transferred to the job by the employee. It is even more advantageous if this knowledge can also be transferred to other parts of the organization to solve problems. Learning organizations not only encourage these practices but also have mechanisms or systems that encourage them to take place. Part of this knowledge transfer involves benchmarking, or learning successful practices from other organizations and competitors as well. Such benchmarking activities ensure that organizations are always learning to improve their management processes and their products or services.

There are two key aspects of Jean Piaget’s developmental theory. The first is the aspect of knowing and the second is the aspect of acquiring more knowledge. Piaget as a biologist was interested in how organisms adapt. According to Piaget, mental organizations or schemes, as he referred to them, control the behavior of an organism (Learning, 17th June 2008). He further defines the behavior of an organism as the organism’s adaptation to the environment. He goes on to argue that the adaptation is as a result of the biological need for balance between mental organization and the environment.
Children and Adults Learn Differently
When children learn, they are guided by role models and substitute knowledge and experiences of others. Teachers tell them when situations are worth following and when situations are to be avoided. Adults learn by performing in their own environment and problem situations. Children’s learning is enhanced by rewards and punishments. To recognize their acquired learning and also to encourage them to learn more, they are provided with rewards like high grades and verbal praise. Adults are more goal-oriented. Their readiness allows them to immediately apply their learning to achieve their goals.
