Abstract

With several literature on strategic change, it is obvious that role of organizational learning in strategic change process is an aspect that is worth studying. The aim of this study is to examine the potential links between strategic change, organizational learning, and organizational performance. Based on the population of 22 Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria, a survey questionnaire was administered to 250 top manager, middle managers and front line employees of banks in Nigeria. In total, 154 responses were used after data processing. Linear Regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses in the study using Microsoft excel. The study revealed an insignificant moderating effect of organizational learning on the relationship between strategic change and organizational performance. All other relationships between constructs were found to be highly significant with a coefficient of determination value that denotes significant positive relationship between constructs. It is crucial for managers to be aware of their operating environment and the right type and suitable level of strategy to employ that fit changes in the environment to improve performance. Given the features of this paper, a pertinent literature and empirical study, thus, seeks for a future conceptual mode study to be carried out in service industries and in the context of developing countries. Hence this paper tries to explain the relationship that exist between strategic, performance and when organizational learning plays its role.
