A Influência dos Estilos de Aprendizagem e dos Valores Organizacionais na Gestão de Uma Rede Horizontal: Um Estudo à Luz do Comportamento Organizacional

Abstract

This article seeks to answer how we perceive and influence the relationship between learning styles and values of members of a horizontal network. Understood as important to identify the organizational values assigned by the network participants; map the learning styles of managers and establish relationships between learning styles and organizational values . For this we worked with primary data from quantitative and qualitative. For the quantitative phase, we used two instruments: Inventory Profile Organizational Values (TAMAYO, 2007) to identify values within the Network and the Learning Styles Inventory (KOLB, 1975) to identify what are the learning styles that exist within the network and the qualitative collection method was a semi-structured interview. Through the results it is noted that the Converging learning style, predominant among network managers is to meet the predominant value pointed to by the group which is a rank, which shows that much of the success of the network can be given to this affinity and the existence of similar mental models. However, it is worth noting that some values should be developed, as pointed out by the managers, so that work in a network can be further developed, since this type of structure pervades the understanding and inter-organizational and collective human thought.
