Learning Organization

Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the effect of transformational leadership on citizenship behaviors with respect to the role of self-determination-based identification, supervisor: identification and organizational identification. Methodology: The present study is descriptive in terms of method and applied in terms of purpose. It is also considered a field study in terms of data collection. The data collection tool is questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was evaluated and confirmed by technical experts and experts of the hospital human resources department and, its reliability using Cronbach's alpha. The statistical population of the study is all the staff of Rasool Akram Hospital. Using Cochran's formula and simple random sampling method, 220 people were studied as the final sample of the research.

Conclusion: Finally, in order to promote identification with the aim of strengthening the citizenship behaviors of employees in this field of healthcare and treatment, practical suggestions were presented

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to provide the impact of learning organization components on innovation in the Islamic Azad University. The prediction of the risks and opportunities facing organizations in the future will give us the opportunity to decide, before we get into trouble. Planning for organizational change and improvement through lifelong learning to cope with organizational challenges for sustainable organizational development and survival is a prerequisite. Methodology: This study is descriptive- survey research. The study population were all the faculty members of Islamic Azad University in Shabestar in 2016 (n=271) that 170 members were selected by stratified random on base of Kerjeci and Morgan table. Findings: To collect the data, Goh learning organization questionnaire and Saatchi & et al innovation questionnaire was used. The construct validity of learning organization questionnaire and organizational innovation were confirmed. Learning organization reliability was calculated α = (0.843) and organizational innovation was calculated α = (0.811) using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Obtained data by SPSS and LISREL software and the calculation of descriptive and inferential statistics (Confirmatory Factor Analysis, structural equations model) were analyzed. Conclusion: The results showed that the components of learning organization had positive and significant impact on organizational innovation and model fitting was confirmed.

Purpose: The present study was conducted to identify the components of the learning organization in primary schools in Tehran. Methodology: The research method was exploratory in terms of practical and qualitative purpose. The statistical population of the study included academic experts and education experts. Samples in this section were selected by targeted sampling and theoretical saturation. The research tools were semi-constructed interviews.

Purpose : Most of the reasons that result in high staff turnover and cost a lot of money on new employees are rooted in the lack of current job embeddedness and finding a way to keep employees in their current job has always been a concern for Central Bank managers. So the question is how to find a suitable model of human resource management in this regard? Method : Developmental research was designed with a qualitative approach and the strategy of the ground theory. Data were collected from in-depth interviews conducted with 25 expert managers of the Central Bank based on purposeful sampling and continued until reaching theoretical saturation. Using data analysis and coding, the initial conceptual model was created using the opinions of experts. In the quantitative section, 346 lower-ranking employees were selected by stratified random sampling method to answer the questionnaire. Qualitative data analysis was done using the thematic analysis method. Quantitative data analysis by using confirmatory factor analysis was analyzed and coded with the help of SPSS, and AMOS software. Each of them was evaluated separately, based on the systematic method of Strauss and Corbin. Findings : Eventually, a model was created for organization embeddedness that could be helpful for the organization to reduce costs and increase employee productivity. Conclusion : Organizations and the community should hire staff only by holding exams and obtaining the necessary quorum for this aim. They should not discriminate against applicants and all should be in the same conditions to qualify and compete so do best to succeed in own job. 

INTRODUCTION: The learning organization model does not exist in the RCS of Tehran province based on knowledge management, innovative organizational culture and quality of work life as an important organization, during disasters, especially the Tehran earthquake. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to present the learning organization model in RCS of Tehran province. METHODS: This applied research was carried out with grounded theory approach. About 15 academic professors and experts of RCS of Tehran province were selected and studied using purposeful sampling method based on the theoretical saturation. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. FINDINGS: In this research, the learning organization with five dimensions and 56 concepts were extracted. The dimensions of the learning organization include gaining experience, feedback and evaluation system, systemic thinking, collaborative and fast learning, creative thinking. CONCLUSION: According to the results, focusing on gaining experience with regard to the occurrence of disasters is one of the priorities of the RCS. The challenges that the RCS faces at the learning organization are such as repeating the problems of previous disasters in new disasters, failure to use documentation and experiences of previous disasters, early forgetfulness of disasters and long return period of some disasters, failure to transfer field and operational experiences, not learning from the bitter experiences of disasters, infringing and sometimes copying processes without considering operational experiences, lack of expert documentary maker or teams in disasters and finally many disasters and little documentation. RCS can take action to manage these defects by implementing the learning organization model.
