The collected data were analysed to assess the reliability and validity of the measurement score of the DLOQ. The data were further analysed so as to determine the differences between New Zealand and Malaysian companies with respect to the presence of a learning organisation-oriented culture. Results of the analysis show that DLOQ are equally reliable and valid in both New Zealand and Malaysian manufacturing context.
