This is a survey research. Considering goal, it is an applied research. Population of the study includes National Petrochemical companies. The suitable sample of Companies is selected based on simple random sampling. The findings of the present research illustrate that there is a significant relationship between transformational leadership and the dimensions of learning organization. In addition, this research shows a significant relationship between transformational Leadership and three dimensions (among 7 dimensions) of learning organization which consist of "continiues learning", "team learning", and "embedding system".
