Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect among variables of disciplinary learning organization (personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, thinking systemic, and team learning). The benefit of this research is to develop a model of knowledge transformation path quality as one of the strategies to manage environment change around Copper Craft Cluster. Samples of 90 workers were chosen by Slovin at 10% critical value of 716 populations as workers at the Copper Carving Cluster Tumang Boyolali, Central Java as a chosen research location. The technique sampling was proportional random sampling. The validity and reliability were tested. The data analysis method has been used descriptive analysis and inferential statistics (used path analysis). The benefit of this research was to develop a model of quality of knowledge transformation path as one of the strategies to manage environmentâ€™s change at the Copper Craft Cluster. The results showed that there were a positive and significant influences among variables as follow: personal mastery discipline on mental models discipline ; personal mastery discipline on shared vision discipline; personal mastery discipline on systemic thinking discipline; mental models discipline on shared vision discipline; mental models discipline on systemic thinking discipline; systemic thinking discipline on shared vision discipline; mental models discipline on team learning discipline; systemic thinking discipline on team learning discipline; and shared vision discipline on team learning discipline.

Highlights

Companies often improve performances in maintaining and increasing its competitive advantage
Mental model discipline: mean value of variable 3.73 showed that indicator/item average at agree answer catagory, in the other words, mental model discipline at the copper carving cluster was in good condition
Shared vision discipline: mean value of variable 3.76, showed that indicator/item average at agree answer catagory, in the other words, shared vision discipline at the copper carving cluster was in the good condition

Summary

Introduction

Companies often improve performances in maintaining and increasing its competitive advantage. Global workers require flexibility, the ability to solve problems and make decisions, adaptive, creative thinking, self-motivated, and has a reflective capacity. The organization strives to improve the products, services, and innovations through continues improvement and breakthrough strategies. This method resulted in a concept known as Total Quality Management (TQM) and Business Process Reengineering; the organization found that the failure or success of the programs was determined larger by human factors such as: skills, attitudes and organizational culture. On the individual level: acquire knowledge, understanding, and skills. At the organizational level: changing perceptions, vision, strategy, and transferring knowledge. At the individual and organizational level: the discovery and renewal the creation, assessment of new knowledge, and understanding new ideas
