1THE LEARNING ORGANIZATIONOrganizational learning is the method to create, retain, as well as transfer organizationalinformation. There occurs improvement in an organization over time with the gaining ofexperience. Organizational learning occurs with the help of the processes of learning that isassociated with the aspect of facilitating, impeding, directing the change, disseminating as wellas using the organizational knowledge. Organizational learning is also considered being themanner in which a company will be creating as well as organizing knowledge in relation to theirfunctional aspects as well as cultural aspects (Yousef, 2014). The objective of organizationallearning is having a successful adaptation of the changing environments, for adjusting underdoubtful circumstances as well as for increasing the effectiveness. According to me, there are three theories of learning such as behaviourism, cognitiveinformation processing as well as constructivism. In respect of behaviourism, it can be statedthat there is the existence of knowledge in an independent manner and outside of individuals.The behaviourists are having the belief that there is the actual occurrence of learning when newbehavioural changes are acquired via relations amongst stimuli as well as responses. Therefore,association is leading towards a behavioural change. (Thurlings, 2013) I believe that, learningprocess in respect of behaviourism is depending upon objectively observable behaviouralchanges. According to the behaviour theorists, learning is defined as the gaining of a newbehaviour or behavioural change. This organizational theory states that there occurs thecommencement of learning when an indication from the environment is presented and thereoccurs the reaction of the learner to the stimulus with certain kind of response (Johnson, 2014).Outcomes that are doing the reinforcement of the needed behaviour are arranged for followingthe behaviour that is being desired. The repetition of the new pattern of behaviour keeps onhappening for becoming automatic. The behavioural change within an organizational employee

2THE LEARNING ORGANIZATIONwill be signifying the fact that there has been the occurrence of learning. From the organizationalperspective, behaviourism regarding the employees lead towards their motivation. Themotivation of the employees is a process that is targeting the physiological requirement and isleading towards increased output. An employer might desire the improvement of motivationthrough the empowerment of the staffs in making decisions or solving the workplace problems(Lau, 2014). Certain employers are also offering the staffs the capability of having a schedulethat is considered flexible or having participation in programs related to training. In relation tothis, I also believe that the choice of leadership style of an employer might be eliciting variedresponses from the staffs. Majority of the leaders are not using a single leadership form butvarious types of leaderships in varied circumstances. For instance, an autocratic leader will bemaking decisions in respect of the team members without consulting them, whereas a democraticleader will be allowing the members if the team in providing their viewpoint prior to the makingof a decision (Merriam, 2013). A laissez-faire leader will not at all be making any interferenceand will be allowing the organizational staffs in making various organizational decisions.Another effective way of understanding employee behaviour is to relate the previous experiencesof the employee. The most effective means of predicting in what ways a staff will be acting is bylooking at how the behaviour of the staffs was in the past, when he/she was faced with a similarsituation earlier. For example, as per the organizational context it can be stated that thecompanies will be offering raises for the staffs who are exhibiting outstanding performances. Themotivation for getting a raise will be serving as motivation in respect of the staffs for doing theirjobs in a productive way. In respect of cognitive information processing or cognitivism, it can be stated that it isdepending upon the thought process behind the behavioural aspect. The theory is depending
