Abstract

Implementing a learning organisation model enables organisations to obtain a strategic advantage. This paper deals with implementing an organisational learning model in organisations in the IT sector in the Czech Republic. The Czech version of the questionnaire “Dimension of a Learning Organisation” is used to evaluate the organisations. The rating of most dimensions is balanced (3.527–4.454). From the seven dimensions of the learning organisation, Dimension 4 – Create systems to capture and share learning is the lowest score while Dimension 1 – Create continuous learning opportunities has the highest score. The assessment of dimensions reflects the respondent’s position. The difference between senior and line staff assessment is statistically significant (p = 0.002). In the future, it would be appropriate to conduct this research on a larger number of respondents and interdisciplinary compare the obtained results.
