dc.description	This study aims to respond to repeated calls for research that investigates the link between leadership behaviour and organizational learning, and the mediating role of organizational climate in this relationship. Based on tri-dimensional leadership theory, Litwin and Stringer’s as well as Watkins and Marsick’s organizational climate and organizational learning models, this study sought to test the following hypotheses, i.e., (1) task, relationship, and change oriented leadership behaviours positively relate to, and predict organizational climate and organizational learning; (2) organizational climate positively relates to and predicts organizational learning, and (3) organizational climate mediates the relationship between task, relationship, and change oriented leadership behaviours and organizational learning. The study employed a cross-sectional research design. Data was collected from 618 bank officers from 11 banks comprising 70 branches and 33 departments from their headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The selection of respondents followed the systematic random sampling. In analysing the data, partial least squares method was used. The results demonstrated that the model has significant predictive capacity. Relationship and change oriented leadership, and organizational climate were found to positively influence and predict organizational learning. While task oriented and change oriented leadership positively influence organizational climate, the latter was shown to partially mediate the relationship between the leadership behaviors and organizational learning. Further, the findings indicate that change leadership has greater effect on organizational climate and organizational learning than the other two variables. The findings contribute to the leadership behaviour theories by revealing the predictive power of these behaviours on organizational climate and organizational learning, and the mediating role of organizational climate on the relationship between the variables. Additionally, the findings add to the existing organizational climate and organizational learning literature by shedding some light on the role of the leadership behaviours as one of the antecedents of these variables. Practically, the findings suggest to organizational leaders and HRD practitioners the importance of relating leadership behaviours and organizational climate in order to promote organizational learning. Finally, organizational climate should get due attention and be managed accordingly in realizing leadership outcomes such as organizational learning.,PhD	-
