Abstract	Provision of learning resources and leadership styles have been shown to influence organizational learning in private organizations. As Kenyan public universities try to gain competitive advantage, improve performance and to continuously adapt to changing environments there is need to ensure organizational learning is enhanced. This study assessed the effect of learning resources provision and leadership styles on organizational learning in Kenyatta University. Data was collected using questionnaires from 94 staff comprising of teaching and non-teaching staff. Data was analyzed through Chi-square test of independent measures and correlations. There was significant positive correlation between organizational learning and the provision of learning resources (rho=0.421; p .05) with organizational learning. It is concluded that Kenyatta University promoted organizational learning through provision of learning resources, while management leadership style has not been used effectively in enhancing organizational learning. It is recommended that public universities provide equitable learning resources and re-address their management leadership styles to enhance organizational learning.
