Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate whether job satisfaction plays a mediating role in the relationship between learning organization and organizational innovation. To perform this research, questionnaires were used to collect data from 20 insurance companies in Jordan listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, with descriptive analysis used to obtain general information about the employees and linear regression analysis used to test the research hypotheses. The results of this research indicate that learning organization positively impacts job satisfaction, that job satisfaction has a significant impact on organizational innovation, and that learning organization has a significant impact on organizational innovation. Further, job satisfaction was found to play a mediating role in the relationship between learning organization and organizational innovation. This research’s findings suggest that insurance companies that operate as learning organizations and seek improvements in their innovativeness should take employee job satisfaction into account. This research is important for companies seeking to improve the innovativeness of their employees. It shows that this can be encouraged by becoming a learning organization and concurrently improving employees’ job satisfaction.

This research’s findings suggest that insurance companies that operate as learning organizations and seek improvements in their innovativeness should take employee job satisfaction into account. This research is important for companies seeking to improve the innovativeness of their employees. It shows that this can be encouraged by becoming a learning organization and concurrently improving employees’ job satisfaction.},
