“…Please see the Henderson et al and Young et al papers in this volume for research examining the influence of state executive organizational characteristics on local facility service delivery for substance abusing offenders. The results we cite here are consistent with a much broader literature on the way in which administrator values and broader organizational systemic issues interact to shape organizational behavior and change (or lack thereof) (Hasenfeld & Powell, 2004; Meyer, 2003; Pfeffer & Fong, 2005)…”

This study applied latent class analysis (LCA) to examine heterogeneity in criminal justice administrators' attitudes toward the importance of substance abuse treatment relative to other programs and services commonly offered in criminal justice settings. The study used data collected from wardens, probation and/or parole administrators, and other justice administrators as part of the National Criminal Justice Treatment Practices survey (NCJTP), and includes both adult criminal and juvenile justice samples. Results of the LCA suggested that administrators fell into four different latent classes: (1) those who place a high importance on substance abuse treatment relative to other programs and services, (2) those who place equal importance on substance abuse treatment and other programs and services, (3) those who value other programs and services moderately more than substance abuse treatment, and (4) those who value other programs and services much more than substance abuse treatment. Latent class membership was in turn associated with the extent to which evidence-based substance abuse treatment practices were being used in the facilities, the region of the country in which the administrator worked, and attitudes toward rehabilitating drug-using offenders. The findings have implications for future research focused on the impact that administrators' attitudes have on service provision as well as the effectiveness of knowledge dissemination and diffusion models.

“…The Kolb model is one of the most influential models in management learning, and has received a large amount of empirical support (Kayes, 2002;Mainemelis et al, 2002;Meyer, 2003;Ng et al, 2009;Vince, 1998). Empirical research conducted at the Center for Creative Leadership has shown that experiential learning is most profound when it stretches people's boundaries and takes them to the edge of their comfort zones (McCauley et al 1998;Mirvis, 2008).…”

“…This model has been among the most influential in studies of management and has received a good deal of empirical support (Vince 1998;Kayes 2002;Mainemelis, Boyatzis and Kolb 2002;Meyer 2003 Second, we found that the influence of OJT in promoting workplace learning depends on its style. The results indicate that empowerment has a positive impact on workplace learning, while direct supervision has a negative effect.…”

In the present article, we examined the effects of the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle and on-the-job-training (OJT) on workplace learning. We defined workplace learning based on the concept of an organizational learning cycle. Using survey data from a Japanese fire and marine insurance company, we found that PDCA, OJT (empowerment), and reflective communication had positive effects on workplace learning. These results suggest that quality management, empowerment and reflective practice may help to significantly improve workplace learning. We also discuss theoretical and managerial implications of this study.
