This quantitative survey research involved 220 academic managers from four different statuses of private higher education institutions as the research respondents and data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using computer software of Statistical packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 24. The finding of the study indicated that there was a strong relationship between organizational learning and organizational innovativeness. The finding also confirms the importance and major effect of leadership style as mediators on the relationship between organizational learning and innovativeness. This study made a significant contribution to the organizational learning-organizational innovativeness literature by developing an integrative model that combines organizational learning, leadership style, and organizational innovativeness. The paper helps the policymakers to see the connection between the learning development situation of Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) and innovation practice in Malaysia and at the same time, it will promote international understanding of the PHEIs in Malaysia.
