A foundational principle of organizational learning is that it is a process requiring changing short-term rules and long-term norms. As public organizations are required to accomplish more with less, agencies are seeking innovative ways to increase programmatic effectiveness and efficiency. By using the lenses of organizational culture, public-sector politics, and public performance, this research gains insight from exploring the literature on learning while overcoming the bias of scholarship that favors private organizations. This is central to understanding ethical issues affecting public organizations. Distinguishing characteristics of organizational learning in the public sector help to uncover how these three factors operate together to produce learning. This study analyzes a longitudinal, in-depth case study on public-sector organizational learning to identify constructs and linkages that can be used for developing theories and articulating practical examples that may enhance an organization’s ability to be both more efficient and effective at meeting their mission.

CONCLUSION

Scholarship shows us that there are important distinctions between public and private organizations, most notably in the culture, public-sector politics, and public performance. Yet much ground has been covered in studying the process of how public organizations learn. An in-depth exploration of one public organization’s learning process encourages scholars and practitioners to continue reflecting critically on the interface between short-term behavioral and long-term cognitive development, as Fiol and Lyles (1985) and Denhardt (2011) advocate. The learning process adopted here moves toward enhancing the knowledge of how public organizations learn by identifying conceptual linkages. Given how conceptual order developed, inclusive of public interest infusion, the three archetypes, and the learning trap, future research might explore how this process manifests in other public agencies, perhaps larger bureaucracies at the state level.
