The popularity of learning organization has motivated researchers and scholars to identify factors that influence the development of learning organization. They have identified transformational leadership and a generative and adaptive organizational culture as important factors that influence the development of learning organization. Yet, few studies have empirically examined the impact of transformational leadership and generative and adaptive culture on the development of learning organization. An exploratory research was conducted and data was collected through a survey questionnaire from the IT sector and a comparison was drawn between Nepal and India. 400 questionnaires were distributed in each country and the results indicate transformational leadership and generative and adaptive cultures have a positive influence in the development of learning organization. Transforming to learning organization has become important in this era, hence organizational leaders should develop transformational leadership behaviors and organizations need to change their culture to promote learning.
