Abstract
The aim of this study was to research which important factors in the organizational climate, culture, systems and structures impact the activity of the individual’s activity in the process of learning. The study included a total of 85 teachers from 14 primary schools in the Primorsko-goranska County. The applied Scale of the Dimensions of a Learning Organization and Organizational performance is a shortened and adapted version of the A form of the Learning Organization Questionnaire(DLOQ, Marsick and Watkins, 2003). It measures seven dimensions of a learning organization at the individual, team and organizational level, and also the financial and learning performance as part of the scale of organizational performance. Teachers evaluated the highest at the organizational level and at the dimension of the provision of strategic leadership for learning, and the lowest at the individual level, and within this dimension at the level of promoting questioning and dialogue. Correlation analyzes showed a significant positive correlation between all seven dimensions of a learning organization. It was found that with increasing age comes a significant increase in team learning and collaboration, and that empowering people towards a common vision is the strongest in the smallest communities. Research results indicate that for the organizational culture and the quality of learning it is of special importance to develop an internal quality system that will enable effective processes of institutional self-evaluation and willingness to invest efforts for the improvement of their practice.
