Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the Impact of Leadership styles on organizational learning in the public and private universities in Damascus. The sample consisted of 154 workers at the universities' administrative and Academic system and two scales were used in this study; (Bass & Avolio, 2004) scale to measure the Leadership Styles and (Jerez-Gomez et al, 2005) scale to measure the organizational learning. The study found significant impact of contingent reward, as a transactional leadership dimension on organizational learning, and a significant impact of Individualized Consideration as a transformational leadership dimension on organizational learning. The study also found no significant differences in leadership styles and organizational learning between both universities.
