This study aims are theoretically and empirically investigate the experiential learning and solving problems in working life. To achieve this aim we analyze the experiential learning and problem solving in the workplace concepts and empirically explore how by solving problems logistics and transport sector employees learn. The study included 150 participants who were selected using purposive sampling method, depending on their job. Experiential learning on solving problems in the workplace was assessed by composed questionare of such scales as „Decision – making collaboration scale” (Martin, Infante, 1988) and „Work stress indicator of job satisfaction scale“ (Arnold, 2005) and as well questionnaires as „The relationships questionnaire” (Bartholomew, Horowits, 1991) and “Learnin Style Inventory” (Kolb, 1978). The results reveal that experiential learning is an important factor in solving problems arising in the workplace, and to problem solving is influenced by the emotional compatibility between the coworkers.
