Abstract:

Universities are institutions where individuals determine their roles in the society and the required education in preparation for work life. University education helps individuals both socialize and acquire the necessary equipment for the knowledge and experience needed for their professional life. In today's knowledge society, this process cannot be restricted solely to university education; life-long learning and education is accepted as a vital principle.Perceptions of education staff and support staff towards learning-organization culture play an important role in universities' educating their students as individuals who are suitable for the knowledge society and formulate continuous learning as a principle. As institutions of education, universities have high expectations to be institutions that adopt learning-organization culture, follow continuous learning as a principle and educate their staff towards this goal. In this study, it is aimed at investigating the perceptions of the academic staff who provide education services and the administrative staff who provide support services to education and training at Balikesir University towards organization culture and exploring their efforts for continuous learning.
