Abstract: Recently, agility research has reported the influence of culture on agility effectiveness. Research on culture has been attracting attention by management scholars owing to its capability to affect organisational effectiveness. While most of the culture and management research are on training, compensation, performance appraisal, very few research has been conducted in the context of learning agility. The research aims to explore the relationship between learning agility and outcome. Further the study investigates the mediating role of culture between learning agility and outcome. Research hypotheses are developed from the related literatures and tested through the data collected from various manufacturing firms in India. Data is analysed via SPSS and AMOS. The result suggests that learning agility influences the outcome through a supportive culture. The discussions, findings of the results and implications from managerial prospects are provided in the last part of the study.
Keywords: culture; individual outcome; organisational outcome; learning agility.
