Abstract

The aim of this research is to reveal the effect of knowledge-oriented leadership on organizational learning. Within the scope of the research, the survey technique was preferred to gather data, and the data was gathered from 400 employees working in five- star hotels operating in Afyonkarahisar and Marmaris with a questionnaire form. After removing the missing or erroneous questionnaires (40 questionnaires), the data were analyzed with the statistical analysis program. As a result, it was determined that knowledge-oriented leadership significantly affects organizational learning. However, it has been determined that the effect of knowledge-oriented leadership on organizational learning differs in the context of destinations, and the relevant effect is more in thermal hotel businesses operating in Afyonkarahisar. In addition, it was concluded that the effects of knowledge-oriented leaders on organizational learning mainly occur in the learning process at the group level.
