This study aimed to verify and analyze empirically the relationship among the individual, group and organizational learning. Data were collected in a Brazilian plastics industry, with 46 respondents from a total of 88 employees (52%). Data analysis occurred through structural equation modeling with estimation by partial least squares (Partial Least Squares - Path Modeling), in which the constructs were measured as latent variables of second order. The results were compared with those obtained in other contexts, namely: hospital (CHAN, 2003) and bank institution (BIDO et al., 2008). As main result, we observed that the three constructs are correlated, but the correlation between TL (team learning) and OL (organizational learning) was higher in the three studies. One explanation for this result may be due to the perception of respondents that the behavior of the team, really, is the "gateway" to the OL (organizational learning). At the end of the work, some limitations and directions for continuing the research are pointed.KEYWORDS: Organizational learning; Team learning; Individual learning; Learning levels; Structural equation modeling.
