Abstract

The paper explores the intricate relationship between psychological safety and organizational learning within educational institutions. It argues that creating an environment conducive to psychological safety is crucial for fostering effective organizational learning. By examining relevant theories and empirical research, the study highlights the significance of trust, open communication, and risk-taking in promoting a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. The paper further examines the various factors that influence psychological safety, including leadership styles, organizational structure, and individual-level factors. It concludes by proposing practical strategies for educational institutions to enhance psychological safety and, in turn, facilitate organizational learning, ultimately leading to improved educational outcomes.
