Abstract

           The purposes of this research are to study the relationship between predictor variables and being a learning organization and study the predictor variables that affect being a learning organization as well as finding the best factors that affect being a learning organization. Moreover, this research also studies the guidelines on how to be the learning organization of the private higher education institutions: a case study of Northern College. Samples used in this research were 92 personnel of Northern College. The research instrument was a 5-level rating scale questionnaire. The statistics used in the data analysis were: frequency, percentage, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation coefficient, standard regression analysis, stepwise multiple regression analysis, and content analysis.
       The research results showed as follows:
       1. The relationship between predictor variables and being a learning organization of the private higher education institutions: a case study of Northern College was found out that the correlation coefficient between the 7 variables, total 21 values, had 21 positive values with a statistically significant level of 0.05. The correlation coefficient had the range between 0.214 and 0.829. The highest intraclass correlation coefficient between the independent variables was the organizational climate aspect (X3) and the knowledge management aspect (X5) (r = 0.829).
       2. The predictor variables influenced a learning organization of the private higher education institutions: a case study of Northern College was found out that there were 2 values with a statistically significant level of 0.05, which were the learning aspect (X6) that had a positive influence with a size of 0.066 and the management aspect (X2) that had a positive influence with a size of 0.059. These can be written as the prediction equation for being a learning organization of the private higher education institutions: a case study of Northern College in the form of raw scores and standard scores, respectively, as follows:
                       Y = 3.852 + 0.066X6 + 0.059X2
                       ZY = 0.303Z6 + 0.347Z2
         3. The best predictor variable that affected being a learning organization of the private higher education institutions: a case study of Northern College was found out that there were 2 values with a statistically significant level of 0.05, which were the learning aspect (X6) that had a positive influence with a size of 0.058 and the management aspect (X2) that had a positive influence with a size of 0.048. These can be written as the prediction equation for being a learning organization of the private higher education institutions: a case study of Northern College in the form of raw scores and standard scores, respectively, as follows:
                        Y = 3.908 + 0.058X6 + 0.048X2
                        ZY = 0.266Z6 + 0.285Z2
           4. The guidelines for being a learning organization of the private higher education institutions: a case study of Northern College due to the need to be developed are included of the 3 aspects, which are the use of technology aspect, the cognitive style aspect and the development of the team learning aspect.
