The impact of organisational learning capability on organisational innovation in the Jordanian pharmaceutical firms the mediating role of job satisfaction

This study examines the effect of organisational learning capability on organisational innovation through the mediating role of job satisfaction in the pharmaceutical firms operating in Jordan. Data were collected from 14 pharmaceutical firms through a survey among employees, supervisors, and managers. 361 valid questionnaires were returned and analysed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software and the analysis of moment structure (AMOS). The findings revealed that organisational learning capability has a significant influence on job satisfaction and organisational innovation, namely, experimentation, interaction with the external environment, and risk have a significant effect on organisational innovation, whereas dialogue had no contribution. Job satisfaction has a positive contribution to organisational innovation. Furthermore, job satisfaction exerted a partially mediating role in the relationship between organisational learning capabilities on organisational innovation. This study demonstrates that being a learning organisation while also improving employee job satisfaction will facilitate organisational innovation.
