Abstract

This paper investigates five disciplines of learning organizations—system thinking, team learning, mental models, shared vision, and personal mastery—as facilitators toward a learning organization. Arithmetic Means and Standard Deviations are calculated for variable responses collected through five point Likert Scale. Majority of the means are above the mean of scale i.e. 3, which shows that all are making contribution towards transforming organizations into learning organizations. It was, however, found that team learning (Mean 3.89) was the strongest predictor of learning organization in IT sector. System thinking (Mean 3.84), Personal mastery (Mean 3.78), Shared vision (Mean 3.60), and Mental models (Mea 3.51) have been found to be the second, third, fourth, and fifth most significant predictors of learning organizations, respectively. Cronbach Alpha of all the dimensions has been calculated separately to ensure the reliability of the instrument.
