This paper provides examples of the application of the learning organization idea and the core values attribute and how both fit into each other in one of the Malaysian public universities. A learning organization–core values matrix is proposed at the end of the paper.Research limitations/implicationsThis research uses the specific case of organizational core values that are established based on Islamic principles.
