Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between workplace learning and psychological variables, such as
learning competency, motivation, curiosity, self-esteem and locus of control, and organizational variables, such as centralization
of power, formality, merit system and communication. The studied population consisted entirely of workers in small and medium
manufacturing businesses in Korea. Totally, 685 workers were sampled and 388 of them were used for the analysis. The level
of workplace learning in small and medium manufacturing businesses was higher than the expected average. All the variables
in this study had significant positive low or moderate relationships with workplace learning. Lastly, about 50% of the variance
in workplace learning was explained by communication, learning competency, merit system, motivation, centralization of power
