Description
Summary:碩士 === 靜宜大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 97 === Previous studies on learning have focused on organization level. This study emphasizes that the employee learning behavior is the most important factor to organization learning. Many studies have analyzed different level variables on the same level, which may lead to an inappropriate analytical fallacy. Furthermore, since the employees are nested in an organization, the employee behavior will be influenced by the organization field. This study focused on the psychological safety mechanism and structure method mechanism. The purpose of this study is building a multilevel approach to clear individual characteristics and organizational characteristics. This multilevel study of 197 employees, 26 managers from 26 high-technology companies located in three science parks in Taiwan demonstrates the results by using Hierarchical Linear Model (HLM). Firstly, individual-level learning behavior has a significantly positive association with employee task performance. Secondly, the main effect, aggregated structure method positively relates task performance, in the contrast; aggregated psychological safety has a negative influence on task performance. Further, structure method negatively moderates the relationship between learning behavior and task performance.
