and business sustainability (BS) and to carry out its empirical examination.
• BS was examined through the concept of sustainable performance (SP)
• The study is, therefore, embedded in a widely discussed and researched problem of the
relationship between OL and organizational performance. however, there is no research relating
OL to SP.
THE CURRENT STUDY ADDRESSES THREE MAIN RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
• H3. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OLC AND SP IS STRONGER THAN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
• The study was conducted in 694 Polish and Danish companies (391 businesses operating in
Poland and 303 in Denmark).
• The research was carried out by means of the survey method. The survey was composed of the
questions measuring each of the OLC dimensions (68 items) and those referring to SP (15 items).
• The primary statistical method was structural equation modeling (SEM).
• MODEL 1:
ORGANIZATIONAL
LEARNING CAPABILITY–

THINK WHAT WILL BE THE ANSWER OF THE H3 ?
• Managers regard the challenges of sustainable development as decisive forces affecting ways of thinking, acting, managing
and competing.
• The business's commitment to sustainable development is reflected in its economic, environmental and social performance.
• Managers should support the continuous development of employees' skills and qualifications.
• Appropriate work organization can include the promotion of flexible, formal and informal forms of teamwork.
• Managers should encourage system thinking practices.
• It is necessary to develop the ability to learn together and to foster the formation of relationships between employees
focused on commitment, trust, openness, mutual respect and cooperation.
• System thinking also requires developing a sense of responsibility for the organization's global performance among all
employees.
• Study shows that the intensification of the OL processes favors SP.
LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE RESEARCH
DIRECTIONS
• It is essential to underline that the research presented above has some limitations. Further
research could attempt to test continuity to see changes in OLC, BS, and OP.
• Finally, it would be essential to relate the OL processes to BS understood from the process
perspective and not from the organizational performance perspective.
