Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 7
Abstract
Today, the role of Human Resource Management (HRM) in building internal capabilities of an organization has become a subject of interest to academicians and practitioners.The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of HRM practiceson organizational learning. It also attempts to explain the mediating role of organizational knowledge management capabilities.The paper attempt to focus on the perspective of integration of HRM, Knowledge Management (KM) and Organizational Learning (OL). A range of relevant literature on KMand OLare explored and a conceptual model is proposed and discussed. However, empirical data is needed to establish the influences of HRM practices on OL. HRM acts as ‘Knowledge Facilitator’ in the organization since it has the competencies and the capabilities to focus on the ‘People’ element of KM. KM integrates HRM directly into the value adding process of a business and enable HRM to justify its role as ‘Strategic HR Business Partner’. The connection between KM and OL is inevitable because knowledge is what has been learned. In this context, this paper proposes an answer to ‘how’ HRM practices can stimulate and support employees to learn continuously as a part of everyday work with the intention of contributing to organizational KM and in turn OL.The study contributes to a relatively less researched area in HRM. This paper is useful for HR practitioners to directly contribute in Organization Development. The proposed conceptual framework is an original and complete model that will hopefully contribute for future work in the area.
