THE LEARNING ORGANIZATION AND PERFORMANCE:

In this paper, we conducted a meta-analysis of a subset of published empirical research papers that measure the learning organization construct and link it to organizational performance outcomes. We examine both financial and non-financial performance outcomes. The findings show that there is support for a positive relationship between organizational learning capability and performance outcomes. However, the results are stronger for non-financial than for financial performance outcomes. We discuss the implications of these results for research and raise some methodological issues that can impact on the interpretation of this meta-analysis
