Learning plays a vital role in the success of organizations. All of the employees in an organization must do their best and work together to help the organization be successful. Peter Senge (2006), in his book titled The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization, indicated the characteristics of a learning organization as follows:
There exists a shared vision that everyone agrees on.
People discard their old ways of thinking and the standard routines that they use for solving problems or doing their jobs.
Members think of all organizational processes, activities, functions, and interactions with the environment as part of a system of inter-relationships.
People openly communicate with each other across vertical and horizontal boundaries without fear of criticism or punishment.
People sublimate their personal self-interest and fragmented departmental interests to work together to achieve the organization’s shared vision.
