- Purpose: This paper attempts to highlight the significant role of Organizational Learning (OL) in improving Organizational Success (OS). OL is widely acknowledged as a critical factor for OS at Teaching hospitals in Egypt. Research Design/Methodology: To assess positive OL, (OL questionnaire American Society for Training and Development, 2002) and OS (OS questionnaire Simon et al., 2011). The data of the study was collected from the employees at Teaching hospitals in Egypt. Out of the 357 questionnaires that were distributed to employees at Teaching hospitals in Egypt, 285 usable questionnaires were returned, a response rate of 79%. Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) was used to confirm the research hypotheses. Findings: There is a statistically significant relationship between the dimensions of OL (the dynamics of learning, conversion of the organization, employee empowerment, knowledge management, and the application of technology) and OS at Teaching hospitals in Egypt. Practical implications: This research contributes to the need for organizations to practice OL in order to be able to meet contemporary intense competition, as this trend is to play an important role in enhancing OS. The study suggests that the Teaching hospitals in Egypt can increase OS by influencing its OL. The study provided that it is necessary to pay more attention to the dimensions of OL as a key source for organizations to enhance the competitive advantage which is of prime significance for OS. Originality/value: The study observes that there is a critical shortage in OL and that a greater understanding of the factors that influence the OS is of great importance. Therefore, this study is to examine the relationship between OL and OS. This research dealt with OL in terms of its concept and dimensions, in addition to dealing with the role of OL in promoting OS. Accordingly, the study provided a set of recommendations including the necessity to pay more attention to OL as a key source for OS at Teaching hospitals in Egypt.
