Abstract:
This paper is aimed at studying a learning culture and continuous learning and finding out the benefits and the ways to develop continuous learning in an organization. The definition of learning culture and continuous learning is inferred from some experts’ opinions such as Van Breda-Verduijn & Heijboer, Cerne Matej, Blackwood, Schein, Jain & Martindale, etc. An organizational learning culture is inferred as a set of norms and values about the functioning of an organization that encourages individuals or the organization to carry out continuous learning. A continuous learning culture is important to implement in an organization since it has many benefits for a learning organization. An organizational learning culture can be developed if there are supports in forms of motivation, learning opportunities, and facilities to its members.
