This paper reports a cross-national (British and Norwegian) rephcation and validation study of the "Learning Cli mate Questionnaire" (LCQ) According to the developers of the LCQ instrument, the organizational learning climate is a multi-dimensional construct composed ofseven dimensions (scales) The main focus in the research reported here is on the dimensionality of the organizational learning climate construct While the Cronbach's alpha statistics for the seven composite scales were reasonably high, subsequent analyses revealed only modest support for the assumed dimen sionality ofthe LCQ construct With respect to validity considerations, the predictive validity ofthe LCQ scales and of the general learning climate factor were found to be rather high when job stress, organizational commitment and job satisfaction were used as criterion variables
