The Impact of Learning Organization on Knowledge Transfer and Organizational Performance

Abstract

HEIs are facing major challenges in the current era, and an investigation of their structures and roles is imperative. The survival and continued competiveness of HEIs depend on the willingness and acceptance of changes and consideration for the methods that will allow their practices to be improved. A learning organization is one that seeks to maximize fully the capacities of its people to change, to survive in a volatile environment and to sustain competitive advantage. The HEI sector is one such sector that exists in a volatile environment; this sector needs to be resilient in facing these challenges and adopting new ways to survive and cope with them. Thus, this paper proposes that the learning organization approach has a direct influence on knowledge transfer and organizational performance, which in turn, leads to HEIs attaining success and continued survival.
