Abstract: Learning organisations facilitate the acquisition of new knowledge and skills for both organisations and their members, enabling the application of the latest insights in a dynamic environment. This study addresses a research gap by constructing a model identifying the factors influencing learning organisations and their subsequent impact. The research delves into uncovering the catalysts behind learning organisations concerning the career advancement of information technology (IT) employees and their intent to remain in their roles. The study, conducted in a developing country, India, employs an explanatory research design to explore the interrelationship between learning organisations, career progression and employee retention. Primary and secondary data have been used for this study. The primary data has been collected from 389 IT sector employees at various employment positions in Chennai through a structured and standard questionnaire based on the Dimensions of Learning Organizations Questionnaire (DLOQ) by Watkins, KE and Marsick, VJ (2023) [Rethinking workplace learning and development catalyzed by complexity. Human Resource Development Review, 22(3), 333-344. doi:10.1177/15344843231186629], demonstrating a high reliability at 96.4%.
