Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand the influence of the learning dimensions in the organizational learning of the petrochemical organizations in the GCC countries. It had utilized four dimensions: learning barriers; learning essentials; learning enablers; and learning orientations that were synthesized from previous research. It has also put them into a framework where organizations can be assessed by. Four hundred sixtyfour individuals from three management levels have participated in a self-administered survey, which represent five organizations from the petrochemical sector in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The data was subjected to a number of tests such as normality test, homogeneity test, and sphericity test prior to conducting factor analysis, ANOVA and Chi-square analyses to answer the six research questions with four hypotheses. The results of the study indicated that: no strong learning barriers exist among the three distinct management levels and that no significant differences exist among the organizations. The conditions, a component of the learning essentials dimension that can help organizational learning were found to differ across the petrochemical organizations but not across the three distinct management levels. The factors, a component of the learning essentials dimension, that affect learning were found not to differ across the petrochemical organizations nor across the three distinct management levels and the same result was found for the benefits of the organizational learning. The learning enablers did not differ significantly across the three management levels, but differed across petrochemical organizations; and the learning orientations of the five participated petrochemical organizations were identified and that two variables out of the seven variables of the learning orientations, knowledge source and skill development differed across these organizations. The result of the study can be used a measurement tool to help organizations make informed decisions when investing on developing learning capabilities. Furthermore, the study brought valuable insights from three distinct management levels with relation to the identified organizational learning dimensions.
