Training from the learning organization perspective

Abstract

From the learning organization perspective, organizations are learning contexts as they develop a culture that facilitates learning for all members of the organization. A learning tool in organizations is training, which in turn promotes lifelong learning. This work aims to analyze the continuous training of workers in the Rioja wine sector. Using information provided by the wineries and the workers themselves, we determine the hours these employees dedicate to training. Data was collected by means of a survey comprising two types of questionnaires: a first questionnaire for Rioja winery managers and a second questionnaire for workers. Descriptive analysis and hypothesis testing were conducted. The descriptive analysis reveals that wine industry employees dedicate a large number of hours to training, higher than the national average. Hypothesis testing shows that the tasks performed by the winery employees and level education are the variables that show most significant differences.
