Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which knowledge sharing affect levels of organizational learning. The research samples have been selected from all employees among faculties and other organizational units in Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. The Jacobs & Roodt’s knowledge sharing and Watkins & Marsick’s long version DLOQ questionnaires were distributed to 130 participants and finally, the analysis was based on 101 usable questionnaires. The regression analysis results suggest that there is a significance relation between knowledge sharing and levels of organizational learning, and provided models fit to the data. Path analysis revealed that some of the learning variables are not correlated with knowledge sharing.
