Facilitators of organizational learning in design |
Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine the influence of organizational factors such as
leadership commitment, incentives and interaction on learning outcomes defined as performance
improvement and organizational climate.
Design/methodology/approach – Different aspects of knowledge acquisition, sharing and
utilization were examined, related to outcomes. Design professionals in Vietnam construction firms
were surveyed. The sample was 339 designers.
Findings – The impact of leadership commitment was significantly related to both performance and
organizational climate. Incentives were only positively correlated with performance and staff
interaction was only positive with organizational climate. The paper is supportive of many conceptual
studies in the literature. The results show that each of these factors has a different role and impact on
the organizational learning process and outcome.
Research limitations/implications – The limitations of this study are that the sample comes from
only one industry in a developing country, and it uses an attitudinal survey. Replications of this
analysis in other research contexts, industries, countries and organizational characteristics would
enhance the generalizability of the findings.
Practical implications – From the practical perspective managers who would like to facilitate
learning in the organization, improve performance and promote a better organizational climate should
demonstrate their commitment to learning, provide incentives to use that learning and use a more
collaborative approach.
Originality/value – This study provides empirical evidence for the importance of leadership
commitment, incentives and staff interaction on the process and outcome of organizational learning. |
