Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of organizational learning dimensions on
performance of banking institutions in Kenya in selected commercial banks in Nakuru and Kisii
Counties, Kenya. Specifically, the study sought to determine the effect of individual learning, on
organizational performance of the banking institutions. The study design employed was a crosssectional using a sample of 257 employees from a population of 776 employees. Questionnaire
was used to collect data from the selected respondents. Descriptive statistics and inferential
statistics were used to analyse the data. The results indicated individual learning had a
significant positive relationship with organizational performance (R2= 0.678) 67.8%; (β1=0.167,
p=<.05). Based on the β-values it can be concluded that individual learning contribute positively
to improved performance within the banking sector. The study recommends that bankinginstitutions should provide database for storage, retrieval and update of information when
required. The study further suggest that similar study should be done on other sectors in Kenya
for instance the public sector and findings be compared to establish if there is consistency on
the effect of organizational learning dimensions on performance. The information gathered from
this study will benefit all the banking managers, researchers, human resource practitioners,
employees and other organizations who may find the findings to be useful as a source of
knowledge and benchmark for implementation of organizational learning programmes in
relevant situations
