International Journal of Management Practice (IJMP), Vol. 2, No. 1, 2006

Abstract: The role of human resource management in learning organisations has been discussed by a number of researchers. However, there is a lack of empirical studies that explore the relationship between human resource practices and organisational learning. This paper aims to address this shortcoming. More specifically, the purpose of this paper is to analyse the relation between four HR practices (hiring, training, compensation and decision-making) and organisational learning. The hypotheses proposed are tested on a sample of 195 Spanish companies using the structural equation modelling technique. The results support the view that selective hiring, strategic training, contingent rewards and employee participation in the decision-making positively influence organisational learning.
