A study of factors correlating with the learning organization of schools under the congregation of the sisters of the sacred heart of Jesus of Bangkok

Abstract

The world is changing rapidly. Change has evolved from focus on economic development from an agrarian economy to an industrialized economy, from simple life to more complicated life. Therefore, people have to be awake to these changes and must try to improve their skills all the time. They cannot stop their learning simply because they have graduated from school or the university; if they would like to be successful, they must grow. They have to keep on learning from their experiences, environment, or their organization. As Lassey (1998) shows successful people are people who learn. Organizations are no different, successful organizations are learning organizations. Without learning, there is no improvement; and without improvement organizations stagnate.
