MAPPING ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING PRACTICES IN ORGANIZATIONS IN NORTH MACEDONIA

Abstract

This paper presents the findings of the preliminary empirical research for mapping practices of organizational learning in organizations in North Macedonia. This research has a diagnostic character – its intention is to record emerging forms of organizational learning practices resulting from the approaches in treatment of human resources. Based on that, the team of authors will more realistically define the subject dimensions of the action research carried out by BAS Institute of Management – Bitola, titled "Effectiveness of Action Interventions for Systemic Introduction of organizational learning in the practices of organizations in North Macedonia." The intention of this action research is to test in real life circumstances the feasibility and effectiveness of our integrated model of organizational learning already presented at the 13th IFKAD conference in Zagreb in 2013. The paper provides a brief overview of current research on similar topics, focusing on the findings of the preliminary empirical research – the key findings from the distribution of organizational learning practices and their effects on Peter Senge’s Five Disciplines: personal mastery and organizational wisdom; team learning and effective teamwork; mental models and organizational culture in organizational change; shared vision and strategic thinking, and system thinking and organizational intelligence.
