Promoting organizational learning and self-renewal in Taiwanese companies: The role of HRM

Abstract

This study identifies key characteristics of human resource management (HRM) practices that contribute to promoting positive learning attitudes and creating a self-renewal organizational climate. We use a behavioral perspective to develop a framework to show the relationships among learning-oriented HRM, positive learning attitudes, and a self-renewal organizational climate. Structural equation analysis is applied to empirically test the relationships and the path model suggests that a learning-oriented HRM plays an important role in either directly creating a self-renewal organizational climate or indirectly facilitating positive learning attitudes that foster organizational self-renewal. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
