Iranian managers in public organizations are generally motivated to introduce suggestion schemes in their organizations, which is also supported by laws and regulations. However our knowledge of key success factors is limited in terms of quality and quantity of previous research efforts. To fill the gap, this study adopting a survey methodology with a random sample of employees in public offices and organizations of Iran, investigated factors with a potential affect on the successful introduction of suggestion systems in the organizations. We were especially interested to investigate the role of organization mission (industrial vs. non-industrial), as the adoption of suggestion systems has been relatively in industrial organizations. Research results show that organization mission through intermediating variables such as leadership style, organizational culture, organizational structure and processes have indeed statistically meaningful effect on the success of suggestion systems. Based on the results of the research, a readiness assessment model is proposed and recommendations are made for application and further research. Key words:

This study analyzes the factors affecting on creating a leaming organization based on Peter Senge's model. He introduces these factors in his book named fifth discipline: leadership, thinking space, localization, balance between family and work, time management and experiencing. There are commonly two basic patterns for creating a learning organization in academic studies: American pattern introduced by Peter Senge and European pattern written by several famous authors and theorists. Other scientists and theorists follow these two patterns. A study with this subject has not been carried in our country. By identifying the factors effecting on learning organization we can prepare to create this kind of organization as a new approach for organization's and human resource's development. Results showed that mentioned factors affect on creating a learning organization. So we can prepare for creating a learning organization by using designer, teacher and steward leaders, create thinking space, learning from case experiences, personal and organizational effort to create balance between family and work, creating learning and thinking opportunity and delegating decision making to employees and supervisors.
