In a volatile environment of continuous change, learning organizations are well positioned to orient their employees to adapt quickly and effectively. A study conducted in India's manufacturing sector explores the relationship between employee perceptions of their firms as learning organizations and their level of job satisfaction, and examines the role of job involvement as a mediator in that relationship. The results show that employees who perceive their company as a vibrant learning organization exhibit greater job involvement and a higher level of job satisfaction. By designing human resources policies to foster a high level of employee involvement on the job, organizational leaders can help ensure the effective productivity of satisfied employees in a purposefully developed learning organizational context.
