However, there were few studies to discuss the key mechanism that made employees submit the valuable suggestions. We proposed a model of kaizen suggestion in a view of organizational learning, because the relationship of kaizen suggestions should be consistent with the organizational learning process. According to organizational learning theory, the “single loop learning” could result in the “double loop learning” (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995; Argyris & Schön, 1978 ). Therefore, we used an organizational learning perspective to predict the changes in the volume and content of two types of kaizen suggestions over time. In this study, the relationship of single loop suggestions and double loop suggestions was analyzed. In the mechanism of knowledge accumulation, knowledge sharing and organizational learning intervention, the single loop suggestions would stimulate the creation of double loop suggestions over time.
