Abstract
El interés por investigar el aprendizaje organizativo se ha intensificado en las últimas décadas. Los diversos autores proponen diversas formas de entender, implementar y medir este aprendizaje. Las mayores dificultades están precisamente en la medición. Algunos investigadores proponen modelos multidimensionales de escalas de medida del aprendizaje. El objetivo de esta investigación fue proponer una escala de medida de la capacidad de aprendizaje organizativo para empresas de la gran minería de la región de Antofagasta, contribuyendo así, al desarrollo de un constructo que permita medir el aprendizaje organizativo en este contexto. Para esto se elaboró un instrumento en base a una revisión de constructos teóricos previamente validados. A partir de ésta, seis dimensiones fueron establecidas. Este proceso fue facilitado por una prueba piloto administrada en empresas del rubro minero para garantizar que los diferentes elementos fuesen comprensibles y reflejaran adecuadamente el aspecto que debía medirse. Los resultados de la administración piloto de la escala de medida arrojaron como medida de consistencia un alpha de Cronbach mayor a 0,8 en cada una de las sub-escalas finales, superior en al menos 0,1 punto del umbral considerado aceptable. Finalmente, la escala resultó en 24 ítems para representar las seis dimensiones.

The objective of this research was to propose a scale of measurement of organizational learning capacity for large mining companies in the Antofagasta region, thus contributing to the development of a construct that allows measuring organizational learning in this context. For this, an instrument was developed based on a review of previously validated theoretical constructs. From this, six dimensions were established. This process was facilitated by a pilot test administered in companies of the mining sector to ensure that the different elements were comprehensible and adequately reflected the aspect to be measured. The results of the pilot administration of the measurement scale yielded as a measure of consistency a Cronbach alpha greater than 0.8 in each of the final sub-scales, higher by at least 0.1 point of the threshold considered acceptable. Finally, the scale resulted in 24 items to represent the six dimensions.
