Transition Approach in Analyzing Organizational Learning Capability: From Employer Perspective to Employee Concern

Abstract

Organizational Learning capability is a critical element in the organization that fosters an organizations' ability to adapt, to learn, to grow and strengthen its potential to face highly competitive challenges. Previous studies in this area have focussed on the perspectives of employers ‘orientations'; specifically focusing on innovation, firm performance, business sustainability, competitive advantage, organizational effectiveness etc based on several measuring parameters. This paper attempts to highlight the importance of organizational learning capability from employees need and orientation leading for some behavioural and attitudinal outcomes (employee satisfaction, employee commitment, organizational citizenship behaviour, intellectual capital) that supports their association and due concentration to achieve end results based on their efforts. The link between the HR based employee concern and organizational learning capabilities have not been well established in the literature. A conceptual model is presented that enumerate the shift of OLC from conventional to contemporary concern for employees as a consequence for organizational learning capability assessment.
