Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate and assess the influence of certain human resource management functions (human resources planning, recruitment and selection, and human resource training) on building a learning organization among employees in the general industrial organizations operating in the city of Benghazi. The study included all employees in the general industrial organizations in Benghazi, encompassing a total of (5959) employees. A random sample of (361) individuals was selected for the study. Data relating to the study's subject were gathered through a questionnaire. The data analysis and hypothesis testing were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Several statistical analyses were conducted, including frequency tables, means, and standard deviations. The impact was assessed through multiple regression analysis to explore the statistically significant influence of certain human resource management functions (human resource planning, recruitment and selection, and human resource training) on the construction of a learning organization in the industrial organizations under investigation. The study showed that the level of implementation and practice of these human resources functions among the employees in the studied industrial organizations is notably high, with an overall mean of (3.51), surpassing the average of the scale. This points to the importance of the role played by human resources in achieving excellence and success for these organizations. In conclusion, the study recommends that organizations pay greater attention to human resources management functions, particularly in the domain of human resources recruitment and selection. This involves appointing the most qualified human talents and implementing training programs to enhance the skills and capabilities of employees, fostering teamwork and team building.
