AN APPLICATION OF LEARNING ORGANIZATION THEORY TO INCREASE WORK PERFORMANCE IN MODERN BUSINESS COMPANIES

Abstract

This article aims to study learning organization theory to increase work performance. The study revealed that in the current context, organizations continually develop, educate their personnel and adopt new methods to through learning processes increase work performance. The goal is to create sustained learning and long-term behavioral changes within the organization. This is achieved through experiential learning or the individual experiences of each person which are crucial for the organization's growth and success. Learning organization concepts focuses on teamwork, adaptability, and agility, with a learning method widely accepted as effective Action Learning (AL), a method that is popularly used in Organization Development (OD). It aligns with the idea that "action and learning must go hand in hand." It involves learning from practice, relying on experiences, knowledge, and perspectives within a group or individual through questioning and exchanging ideas to improve the working processes in the organization. This leads to new and diverse solutions, encouraging the sharing and transfer of knowledge among individuals, teams, and the organization to reach organizational goals.
