A learning organization is an organization that is continually expanding its capacity to create its future and provides methods that can be used to provide paths for organizational accomplishments (Kareem, 2016). If an organization wants to expand its capacity, they should consider offering a benefit for the employee (the what is in it for them) factor and consistently seek innovation. Research has stated that a professional in the training a development should possess certain traits such as agreeableness, emotional stability, and extraversion (Sundstrom, Lounsbury, Gibson, & Huang, 2015). These traits can contribute to the expansion of a learning organization. To provide benefits and innovation to the employee organizations should consider a few variables. Per Sung & Choi (2013), the variables are organization size, market changes, technology trends, and incentive compensations. These variables are important factors to consider when developing beneficial and innovative training. The personality traits of the trainer closely relate to the characteristics of the trainee, which are according to Salas et.al., (2012), self-efficacy, goal orientation, and motivation to learn.
