The Organizational Learning Culture and its Outcomes

Abstract

Organizations require updated skills and current knowledge to thrive. These competencies contribute to employee career development and foster higher performance, career satisfaction, and commitment. An organization's learning culture is pivotal in disseminating such knowledge and skills. This study empirically examines this concept using data collected from college faculty in the northern region of the Malakand division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The study population consists of approximately 3000 teaching staff employees; the research sampled 220 employees and utilized PLS-SEM analysis through the software Smart PLS. The results of the analysis validate the theoretical link between organizational learning culture and perceived job performance with the mediating link of commitment and satisfaction, showing their positive impact. The findings demonstrated the importance of stimulating a learning-oriented environment for enhanced organizational performance. These learnings and understandings can guide policymakers in designing effective plans and strategies to enhance workplace performances, specifically in the higher educational institutions of Pakistan. Future researchers can replicate this study in other organisations or cultures along with the vast contexts to confirm and expand upon these findings.
