The real relationship between organizational
culture and organizational learning
Many recent efforts argue that organizational culture
is the key of excellent organizational learning. This article discusses
the "real" relationship between organizational culture and organizational
learning. By analyzing questionnaire survey data, it was found that: (1)
organizational culture merely had indirect influences over organizational
learning, however, (2) there was a much more important factor in learning
process, that is, a "Navigation Map in the organization." The
Navigation Map forming is facilitated by the desirable organizational culture:
especially the paradoxical culture which succeeds to be balanced between
opposite features simultaneously.
