Abstract

Learning organization has received an increasing attention in the literature of organization and management studies, but only few empirical studies have been conducted to examine its nature, antecedents, and outcomes. Facilitating continuous human resource development throughout all levels of the organization is becoming a primary challenge for many HR professionals. In the era of knowledge economy where intellectual capital and learning become major sources of competitiveness, managers of all functions have to develop and nurture a learning culture. Consequently, human resources information systems need to embrace the concept of learning organization. A robust information system should enable organizational learning, knowledge creation, sharing, and application. This article discusses the definitions of learning organization, reasons for the popularity of this concept, emerging studies on this topic including its relationship with organizational performance, practical measures used to build learning organization, and future trends of this topic.
