Abstract: This study highlights organisational agility (OA) as a vital concept in dealing with modern business environments' challenges. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the enabling role organisational learning capability (OLC) plays in developing OA capabilities; by examining the impact of OLC, through a combined effect of four dimensions, on OA and its four dimensions (responsiveness, competency, flexibility, and speed) in Jordanian Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Companies (JPMC) using the survey method. Testing the study model through multiple linear regression and other statistical analyses showed a significant impact of OLC on OA and all its dimensions. The study findings supported the importance of OLC as an enabler for OA and provided insights for future studies on this topic.

Keywords: organisational learning capability; organisational agility; openness and experimentation; interaction with the external environment; participative decision-making; knowledge transfer and integration; pharmaceutical manufacturing sector; Jordan.
