Abstract

The study seeks to examine the correlation between organizational learning (OL), knowledge management (KM) and organizational performance (OP) and to investigate the mediating role of OL between the relationship of KM and OP. The scope of the study was service and manufacturing sector organizations in India. The sample comprised of 118 respondents drawn from eight service and manufacturing sector organizations. The results revealed that OL is said to be partially mediating the relationship between KM and OP. The findings approve the assertion of previous studies ( Liao and Wu, 2009 ). It was also found that there is a significant positive correlation between KM, OL and OP.
