Abstract

A study by Akram, Watkins, and Sajid (2013), found that a statistically significant difference exists between boys’ and girls’ schools in most of the dimensions of a learning organization. The current study is an extension of this previous research as it explores whether or not statistically significant differences exist among boys, girls and co-education schools on the dimensions of a learning organization. Using the Dimensions of Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ) by Watkins and Marsick (1997), 100 sample cases were gathered by using the survey method, from a girls, a boys’ and a co-education school in Karachi, Pakistan. The analysis of data revealed that statistically significant differences exist among the three gender-based categories of schools with the girls’ school ranking first and the boys’ school last in terms of the organizational learning orientation prevailing within the selected schools.
