In the face of rapid globalization, public sector organizations are under increasing pressure to innovate and adapt to remain efficient and relevant. The aim of this research is to examine the ways in which learning organizations can effectively tackle the obstacles presented by globalization within the public sector. Through a thorough literature review, this study synthesizes findings from multiple scholarly sources to identify key frameworks and strategies that support organizational learning in public institutions. Particularly in developed nations, there has been a notable surge in public sector research on learning organizations in recent times. Based on publication trends, the data suggest a surge of research in 2023, although there is a decline in the following year. Most of the research focuses on social science disciplines (44.8%), covering managerial and public policy aspects, as well as on business, management, environmental science, and computer science. Visualization of the keyword network through VOS Viewer highlights key concepts such as learning, innovation, policy, and public sector, illustrating the importance of innovation and policy in organizational learning in the public sector. Countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States dominate the number of publications, followed by other European countries. The dominance of developed countries reflects infrastructure readiness and higher attention to improving public sector efficiency through organizational learning. Going forward, it is predicted that research in this area will increasingly focus on technology integration and sustainability, along with the need for the public sector to continue to innovate in the face of global change.
