1THE LEARNING ORGANIZATIONS Organizational learning is the process of creating, retaining and transferringinformation related to a company. There will be the occurrence of organizational development indue course of time with the attainment of experience. There will be the occurrence of theorganizational learning with the assistance of the learning process that is related with the aspectto facilitate, impede, direct the change, disseminate and use the organizational information.Organizational learning is also regarded as the way by which an organization will create andorganize information in respect of their operational and cultural scenario (Lowyck 2014). Thegoal regarding organizational learning is successfully adapting with the shifting environments, toadjust under uncertain conditions and to increase the efficiencies. I would like to opine that there are three learning theories that are considered to bebehaviourism, cognitivism and constructivism. To elucidate on the aspect of behaviourism, it needs to be mentioned that there existsinformation independently. The behaviourists believe that learning occurs in an actual mannerwhen there occurs the acquiring of new changes in the behaviour through associations within thestimuli and responses. Therefore, I would like to state that association will lead towards a changein behavioural aspect. The process of learning, according to me, regarding behaviourism willdepend upon changes in the behaviour that is objectively observable. In accord to thebehavioural theorists, learning is explained as the process to gain new behaviour or changes inbehaviour (Wilson 2014).

The staff motivation isconsidered being a method that targets the physiological need and lead towards more output(Roberts 2014). A staff might have the desirability for improving the motivational aspect byempowering the employees to make decisions or solve the crisis relating to the place of work.Some of the employers are also providing the employees with the ability to have a schedule thatis regarded having the flexibility or participating in programs in relation to training.

A particular type of leadership is not be used by all the leaders indifferent situations. One more efficient means to understand staff behaviour is relating to theearlier staff experiences. The most efficient way to predict the way in which an employee willbehave is to find out how was the employee’s behaviour earlier, when confronted with same kindof circumstances (Bray 2017). For instance, in relation to the organizational perspective, it needsto be stated that the employees will be receiving a raise from the companies because of providingexcellent performances. The motivation to receive a raise will instigate the employees inperforming their work in an effective manner. To elucidate on the aspect of constructivism, it can be explained that every person willconstruct their personal viewpoint regarding the place of work, based on their own experiencesand internal knowledge. Learning is based on the ways through which a person will be doing theinterpretation as well as creation of meaning in relation to the person’s experiences (Cooper2015). In regard to the theories of constructivism, learning is regarded being a process where
