Keywords:
organizational learning, empowerment, performance excellenceAbstract
This study aimed to investigate the role of empowerment as a mediating variable in the relationship between organizational learning and performance excellence at the Metijah Industrial Mill. To achieve this, a questionnaire was developed as a data collection tool for the study variables (independent variable: organizational learning, dependent variable: performance excellence, mediating variable: empowerment). The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study found that the levels of both organizational learning and performance excellence in the researched institution were high, while the level of empowerment was moderate. The results also indicated a statistically significant relationship between organizational learning and performance excellence, with empowerment playing a mediating role entirely in their relationship. The study recommended enhancing empowerment mechanisms at the Metijah Industrial Mill.
