Organizational learning has been identified as necessary for different organizations to improve their performance in the changing and competitive environment.
The main purpose of this research was to specify the learning organization profile of educational and health centers of Tehran and Qazvin Universities of Medical Sciences in Iran.
The present research was conducted using a cross-sectional method in the academic year of 2013-2014. A staff of 530 from educational hospitals subordinated to Tehran and Qazvin universities of medical sciences participated in the research. The participants were selected using stratified random sampling. That is to say, a random sample of a proportionate size was selected from each hospital. The instrument for data collection was a Likert-scale questionnaire involving 50 items. The statistical techniques of ANOVA, t-test, Chi-square, correlation coefficients (Pearson and Spearman), and regression were utilized to analyze the data. All of them were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 16.0 for windows.
the results indicated that 449 of participants (84.7%) had a B.S. degree and 78 of them (14.7%) had an M.S. or a Ph.D. degree. Among the fivefold dimensions of "Learning Organization" model (Learning, Organization, People, Knowledge, and Technology) in comparison of the two universities, the "people" dimension was the highest-rated dimension with the mean rating of 25.71±8.36 and the "learning" dimension was the lowest-rated dimension with the mean of 25.35±8.04. Comparison between the two universities yielded the result that educational hospitals in Tehran University of medical sciences with the rating of 126.56 had a more complete profile than that of educational hospitals in Qazvin university of medical sciences with the rating of 122.23.
The hospitals of the two above-mentioned universities were, to a great extent, far from the characteristics of Learning Organization. In light of the massive mission of these centers to maintain and improve the community health and to train the skilled labor force, the centers should embark on updating the data and institutionalizing learning. Furthermore, to modify staff's behavior and performance and to achieve their goals, they should accentuate the importance of acquiring, creating, and transferring knowledge.
组织学习已被视为不同组织在不断变化的竞争环境中提升绩效所必需的要素。
本研究的主要目的是明确伊朗德黑兰医科大学和加兹温医科大学教育与健康中心的学习型组织概况。
本研究采用横断面研究方法,于2013 - 2014学年开展。来自德黑兰医科大学和加兹温医科大学下属教育医院的530名工作人员参与了研究。参与者通过分层随机抽样选取。也就是说,从每家医院按比例选取随机样本。数据收集工具是一份包含50个条目的李克特量表问卷。采用方差分析、t检验、卡方检验、相关系数(皮尔逊和斯皮尔曼)以及回归等统计技术对数据进行分析。所有分析均使用适用于Windows的社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)16.0完成。
结果表明,449名参与者(84.7%)拥有学士学位,其中78名(14.7%)拥有硕士或博士学位。在比较两所大学的“学习型组织”模型的五个维度(学习、组织、人员、知识和技术)时,“人员”维度评分最高,平均评分为25.71±8.36,“学习”维度评分最低,平均分为25.35±8.04。两所大学之间的比较结果显示,德黑兰医科大学教育医院评分为126.56,其概况比加兹温医科大学教育医院评分为122.23的更为完整。
上述两所大学的医院在很大程度上远未具备学习型组织的特征。鉴于这些中心在维护和改善社区健康以及培养技术劳动力方面的重大使命,这些中心应着手更新数据并将学习制度化。此外,为改变员工的行为和绩效并实现其目标,应强调获取、创造和传递知识的重要性。
