Abstract

This study proposed and examined a learning organization in higher education within a regional context cases of universities in Kurdistan region. Using a sample of 773 university staff; academicians and administrators in the region, I evaluated capability of higher education institutions to become learning organization by using Dimension of Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ) scale. Findings shows that higher education institutions have great potentials to become learning organization. Public universities have to work on empowerment dimension to improve. Whereas private universities dialogue and inquiry dimensions were strongest areas among learning organization qualities. I also found out that public universities may adapt their organization structure to be more decentralized to allow lower level staff to be more involved in the decision making processes.
