Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to introduce adaptive performance as an organizational performance dimension and examine the possible dynamics between the dimensions of a learning organization and adaptive performance.

Design/methodology/approach

This study used a survey and applied factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis.

Findings

The results supported adaptive performance as an organizational performance dimension. Also, the findings of this study empirically proved that perceived knowledge and adaptive performance mediate the positive relationship between a learning organization and perceived financial performance.

Research limitations/implications

In addition to the current Dimensions of a Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ) studies, this study revealed that adaptive performance, one of the nonfinancial outcomes improved by learning, had a significant effect on financial performance. Also, this study provided evidence of the additional construct validity of the DLOQ, particularly its performance measures.

Practical implications

This study advises practitioners to take a close look at how learning and organization development activities improve organizational performance overall.

Originality/value

This study supported a claim that learning and organization development activities in organizations have a strong potential to induce variance in intangible performance.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among a learning organization, knowledge and financial performance using the Dimensions of the Learning Organization Questionnaire and its abbreviated version.

Design/methodology/approach

This study used a secondary data set and performed second-order factor analysis and structural equation modeling for testing the proposed relationships.

Findings

The study found that a learning organization has a positive effect on knowledge performance; knowledge performance has a positive effect on financial performance; and knowledge performance fully mediates the relationship between a learning organization and financial performance.

Research limitations/implications

This study contributes to validating the current dimensionality of the theoretical framework of a learning organization proposed by Watkins and Marsick (1993, 1996) and offers a valid conceptual framework of the relationship among the learning culture and organizational performance dimensions.

Practical implications

This study re-stresses the significance of the learning and knowledge generated by the human resources of an organization and developed by human resource development practitioners.

Originality/value

This study is valuable to human resource development scholars and practitioners interested in improving and measuring organizational performance.
