3.5 Analysis and findings <strong>of</strong> research questions
The first research question <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> study was regarding <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> perceived organizational learning
and organizational commitment.
Firstly <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> Affective, Continuance and Normative Commitment was measured individually.
According to <strong>the</strong> descriptive statistics in Table 4, <strong>the</strong> employees <strong>of</strong> this organization have a tendency
toward being undecided. So it will not be feasible to group <strong>the</strong> employees according to <strong>the</strong>ir
commitments.
Table 4: Descriptive statistics for affective, continuance and normative commitment

Nor. Com. 76 1,00 2,67 1,7456 ,38727
Valid N (listwise) 68
Continously, <strong>the</strong> overall level organizational commitment is shown in <strong>the</strong> Table 5 below.

Table 5 also shows that <strong>the</strong> employees have stated that <strong>the</strong>y are undecided, so in general
organizational commitment level is moderate in this case.
Secondly, <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> organizational learning based on individual, team and organizational learning
was analyzed separately.
In Table 6, it can be seen that <strong>the</strong> mean <strong>of</strong> each learning variable is below <strong>the</strong> average and resulting
from this, <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> being a learning organization is relatively tend to be high according to <strong>the</strong>
answers <strong>of</strong> respondents.

Also Table 7 shows that employees perceive <strong>the</strong>ir organization as a learning organization.
