The sample were 324 administrators selected by stratified random sampling. The research instruments was questionnaire measuring the learning organization and the factors affecting learning organization which reliability value was 0.965.

The aspect with the highest average score were organizational change and empowerment and personal’s capacity building, follow by the dynamic of learning, the learning organization, and the increase the ability to use technology with the high average score.

The causal structural model of factors affecting was appropriate and consistent with empirical data in the good level (gif.latex?\chi&space;2= 0.00, df = 0, p-value = 1.00, RMSEA = 0.000) accordance with the hypothesis.
