Abstract | The appreciative inquiry process was used to identify conditions enhancing self-directed learning. Participants in the project did the following: (1) used the five-step process to identify factors/conditions/forces that seemed to cause self-directed learning to occur; (2) created a matrix by combining the factors/conditions/forces with six variables (purpose, structure, relationships, rewards, leadership, and helpful mechanisms); (3) identified for each cell statements of behaviors that their organizations had undertaken with positive outcomes for learning; (4) wrote a single statement of behavior for each cell that captured the essence of the multiple statements; and (5) consisted whether their organizations do and should do the behavior. The conditions identified were as follows: (1) continuous improvement adopted as an organizational strategy; (2) involving individuals by letting them know how their actions contribute to the organization's goals and that their input is valued; (3) rewards and support for individuals who take responsibility for their own learning; (4) values underlying the organization's structure and purpose that are in harmony with individuals' values; (5) managers who set an example by learning; (6) valuing differences; (7) support for risk-taking; (8) effective communication systems that include a network of all stakeholders, flexible supportive structures and processes, and a supportive culture; (9) fostering collaboration in work and play; (10) encouraging learning by implementing rewards and processes that support creativity and innovation.
