Abstract: The present paper makes an attempt to study the differences in the organizational learning processes across different organizations. Measures of organizational learning, job satisfaction, effectiveness and preparedness for change were administered on two different samples drawn from the banking sector and academic institutes (N=140). Measures of organizational learning and preparedness for change were developed by the authors. Organizational learning questionnaire was developed using earlier studies (Mehra & Dhawan, 2003). Factor analysis of organizational learning resulted in four factors, namely, essential processes of organizational learning, interaction, flexibility and innovativeness. Differences in organizational learning processes were analyzed using an ANOVA design (two types of samples vs. four factors of organizational learning, while the later was the repeated measure). Results indicated that there were significant main effects and interaction effect as well. These results are discussed in the light of previous research findings. Further, relationships amongst organizational learning, job satisfaction, effectiveness and preparedness for change have been analyzed.
