Promoting organizational learning and self‐renewal in Taiwanese companies: The role of HRM

This study identifies key characteristics of human resource management (HRM) practices thatcontribute to promoting positive learning attitudes and creating a self‐renewal organizational climate. Weuse a behavioral perspective to develop a framework to show the relationships among learning‐oriented HRM,positive learning attitudes, and a self‐renewal organizational climate. Structural equation analysis isapplied to empirically test the relationships and the path model suggests that a learning‐oriented HRMplays an important role in either directly creating a self‐renewal organizational climate or indirectlyfacilitating positive learning attitudes that foster organizational self‐renewal. © 2004 WileyPeriodicals, Inc.
