Learning in academic enterprise - A study on antecedents using Lisrel8.7 and Smart PLS 2.0

摘要

The concept of learning organisations has many applications across various disciplines in different sectors that aim at continuous improvement. Universities, being a knowledge intensive organisation, often face the criticism of not being a learning organisation. To withstand the prevailing competitive scenario, it becomes a conscious mandate for universities to unlearn the conventional process and switch over to the process of organisational learning. This requires effective leadership. We, therefore, propose resonant leadership for the immediate department heads/supervisors in universities since resonant leadership has its origin from emotional intelligence. There is a dearth of studies that has investigated the role of resonant leadership in Indian universities. This paper presents a model and empirically examines the impact of affective commitment on learning organisation when mediated by resonant leadership and psychological empowerment in university faculty context.
