This research paper tries to predict organizational learning factor on the basis of organizational socialization among the employees of the University of Urmia. A sample of 200 employees was randomly selected according to their work place faculty, in a stratified way proportionate to volume of each faculty. Two questionnaires were made for data collection, namely: “organizational socialization questionnaire” based on Taormina model and “organizational learning questionnaire” based on Nife model. The reliability of both questionnaires was measured, through using alpha-Cronbach coefficient in a pilot study of 30 people. The reliability for organizational socialization questionnaire was α=0/921, while that of organizational learning questionnaire stood α=0/877. The data were analyzed based on the research hypotheses through MANOVA analysis technique and multiple Regressions.
