Importance of Evaluation of Learning Organizations in Manufacturing Industry Companies
Abstract
The importance of organizational learning must be understood by all organization members, both about learning technology and management activities. Considering that the manufacturing industry's investment is very high, organizations must learn to create effective working environment conditions. This is also done by manufacturing organizations to make it easier to meet consumers' needs and create added value for manufacturing companies. Five factors tend to support the success of learning organizations in manufacturing companies. Two of the most dominant factors are managerial resource support and organizational learning quality orientation, both of which are the most influential factors and tend to support learning organizations' success in manufacturing companies. These results suggest strategies to support the success of learning organizations.
Keywords: learning organization, manufacturing industry, learning organizational factors, organization strategy, human resources management.
