本研究旨在探討美國圖書館界學習型組織，領導智能與員工發展之間的關系，以及它們與兩項人口變量（性別、種族）的相互作用。作者採用線性組合研究了學習型組織的七個範疇，並且使用多變量變異數分析方法來評估領導智能培訓組的差異（培訓時數多寡對比），在職培訓組的差異（培訓時數多寡對比），及種族的差異（白人或其他族裔對比）。除了討論未來研究方向的建議，作者並提供人力資源發展工作者和圖書館員一些啟示。研究最後提出作者的想法及本研究的侷限性。

This research examined the relationship among learning organization dimensions, leadership development, employee development, and their interactions with two demographic variables (gender and ethnicity) in the context of libraries. The researchers conducted a multivariate analysis of the variance to assess the differences by leadership training groups (low training hours vs. high training hours), or by gender; and by workplace training groups (low vs. high), or by ethnicity (white vs. all others) on a linear combination of the seven dimensions of the learning organization. A conclusive summary is provided along with contributive discussion. Implications and contributions to librarians are discussed in addition to future research recommendations. Also included are conclusive final thoughts accompanied by the limitations of this research.
