✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The concept of the learning organization has received considerable attention in the scholarly literature
because superior learning processes have been heralded as a source of competitive advantage. Organizations that
embrace strategies consistent with the learning organization are thought to achieve improved performance. Yet few
empirical studies have examined the relationship between the learning organization concept and firms'
financial performance. To assess this association, the authors obtained managerial responses to the Watkins and
Marsick Dimensions of the Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ^©^) instrument along
with both perceptual and objective measures of firms' financial performance. Results suggest a positive
association between the learning organization concept and firms' financial performance. The article
discusses implications for research and practice.
