Abstract

The present study has investigated the relationship between organizational learning and staff empowerment in North Khorasan teachers’ campus (Farhangian e pardishayekhorasan e shomali University: T.M.E.B.). In this study, which has been done using a descriptive method of correlation type, the Statistical Population was staff of Imam Muhammad Baqir Educators University. Statistical sample of 49 people was specified by a census method. Two standard questionnaires have been used for data collection from statistical society members, which are as follows: Nyf organizational learning and Spritzer empowerment. According to the test, Cronbach's alpha coefficient value for the organizational learning (OL) questionnaire was 0.871 and for the empowerment questionnaire was 0.938. Meanwhile, the relationship between competence development and staff empowerment is more relevant than any other aspect and it indicates that the competence development has a greater impact on staff empowerment than other aspects. The relationship between organizational structure and employees’ empowerment has the least value, as compared to other aspects which show its less effectiveness. The next thing that will lower the effectiveness of this aspect is that the organizational structure is not flexible enough to empower staff and make the necessary changes. The link absence between knowledge sharing and empowering, also is a signal showing that managers and staff are ignoring the importance of sharing knowledge. Consequently, this university should make efforts to provide educational tools for organizational learning so as to be able to increase efficiency and productivity and succeed in their organization by staff empowering.
