Organizational Learning Capability as Strategic Resource for Enhancing Job Satisfaction among Lecturers

Abstrak

Increasing academic demands, including the fulfillment of the Tri Dharma, publication requirements, and continuous adjustments to higher education policies, have made lecturers’ job satisfaction increasingly dependent on organizational support for continuous learning. This study aims to examine the role of Organizational Learning Capability as a strategic resource in enhancing job satisfaction among university lecturers. The study involved 276 lecturers from several higher education institutions in Indonesia, selected using a purposive sampling technique with the criterion of having at least two years of active teaching experience. Participants included both male and female lecturers aged between 27 - 60 years. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed. Data were collected using the Organizational Learning Capability Scale and a Job Satisfaction Scale, both of which demonstrated adequate reliability. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression to test the effect of Organizational Learning Capability on lecturers’ job satisfaction. The results indicate that Organizational Learning Capability has a positive and significant effect on lecturers’ job satisfaction. These findings suggest that organizational environments that support learning, academic dialogue, and professional development contribute directly to higher levels of lecturers’ job satisfaction. This study concludes that Organizational Learning Capability represents an important strategic resource for human resource management in higher education institutions and offers practical implications for university leaders in designing learning-oriented organizational development policies.
