The purpose of this research was to survey the amount of application and desirability of teaching organization's indices in public universities of Iran. Methodology: The paper determines the components of teaching organization in five domains as propounded by Noel Tichy: teachable point of view, ideas, values, emotional energy, and edge. The sample consists of 315 university managers and faculty members who were selected through random multistage cluster sampling. In order to gather the data, a 74 item researcher made questionnaire on the basis of Tichy's teaching organization theory in the form of Likert's 5 point scale with a reliability of 0.87 was utilized. One sample t-test and MANOVA were used to analyze the data. Results: The results indicated that there were significant differences between the means of actual and ideal components (P<.0001). But the examinee's responses regarding desirability in applying the teaching organization components in universities with score mean of 4.25 is much more than the mean criterion. Conclusion: The observed revealed that the differences of means regarding all components were significant.
