Abstract: Fostering a learning environment at the workplace has developed as an indispensable growth facilitator. Drawing on the resource-based theory (RBT) and organisational learning theory (OLT), this research investigates the relationship between participative management style and learning at work with mediating role of participative strategic planning processes and moderating role of supervisory communication. A questionnaire-based survey method has been used to collect the data from 173 employees working in India's manufacturing and service sector organisations. This study employs structural equation modelling with R-studio and SPSS macro process (Model 14) to test moderated mediation effect. This study founds a positive relationship between participative management style and learning at work, and participative strategic planning processes significantly mediate the relationship. Moreover, supervisory communication plays a significant role as a moderator between participative strategic planning processes and learning at the workplace. The implication of this study, its limitation, and its future direction have been discussed.
