Materials and Method:Three hundred and eleven completed questionnaires were received from the staffs of the Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University. The data were statistically analyzed according to  frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. T test and F-test were used for two-groups and three-group comparisons respectively. LSD test was used in the case of comparing the different factors. Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient was used for analyzing the relationship between the learning organization and the organization effectiveness. One-way ANOVA was also used in the study. All tests were performed at a critical value of a=0.05


Results: The level of Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, as a LO evaluated in five disciplines, was high. The overall organization effectiveness, assessed in four dimensions, was also high. The educational background and work type of faculty staff significantly affected their perception regarding a LO at p-value <0.05. An overall high positive correlation was found between LO and organizational effectiveness (p-value <0.001). Both null hypothesis were thus rejected.
