A LEARNING ORGANIZATION MODEL DEVELOPMENT FOR RAJABHAT UNIVERSITIES USING LISREL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to study about factors of learning organization model of Rajabhat Universities, 2) to develop the indicators of being learning organization of Rajabhat Universities, 3) to develop learning organization model of Rajabhat Universities and 4) to evaluate consistency of developed learning organization model of Rajabhat Universities by empirical data. The research consisted of four steps as (1) find the main factors, sub-factors and indicators of learning organization, (2) confirm factors of learning organization of Rajabhat Universities by facilitate a focus group and find validity and reliability by 30 experts (3) find influential factors which encourage Rajabhat Universities to be the learning organization and (4) evaluate being learning organization of Rajabhat Universities by facilitate a focus group and implement result to develop learning organization model.

The result of the study indicated that there were six factors as systematic thinking, being well-rounded person, thinking in formation, team learning, organization adjustment, and utilizing technology are important factors of learning organization model for Rajabhat Universities using Lisrel Analysis. The result yield that the model is consistent with empirical data (Chi-square = 48.49) and insignificant at .05 level (p-value=.0643). GFI is .98, AGFI is .92, RMSEA is .035 and SRMR is .014 Coefficients of all factors of learning organization of Rajabhat Universities are positive. The highest coefficient factor is thinking in formation. All factors are significant at .01 level indicate that all indicators relate with the factors significantly. So, summarize is the model is highly consistent with empirical data. The result also yield that, in the learning organization, there are six main factors, fourteen sub-factors and seventy-nine indicators.
