The Interaction of Leadership Roles and Organizational Learning Environment: A Canonical Correlation Approach

As managerial development continues to take a significant portion of organizational budgets, researchers seek to find effective methods of improving the quality of that training. At the same time, organizations search for a sustainable competitive advantage through the learning organizational environment. This study shows the correlation between leadership roles and the organizational environment in which they are developed. Correlations are found between the Competing Values Framework (Quinn, 1988) and the Context-for-Learning (Ghoshel & Bartlett, 1994). These correlations allude to the effectiveness of managerial development to develop a learning organizational environment.
