dc.description.abstractDuring the last two decades, there have been a number of researchers establishing the positive effect of HRM practices on organizational innovativeness, but there are very few researches presenting a deeper understanding of the role of Organizational learning in this relationship, which was the main objective of this thesis. For the purpose, four hypotheses were developed, the first three predicting positive relationships between HRM practices, organizational learning and organizational innovativeness and the last one suggesting the mediating effect of organizational learning. The respondents consisted of managerial level employees working in four categories of banks enlisted in the State Bank of Pakistan: public banks, private banks, Islamic banks and specialized banks. The variables of the research scored high on the reliability tests. The results of the study supported all the hypotheses. Accordingly, positive relationship was confirmed among all the variables of interest and Organizational learning was established as a strong mediator in the impact of HRMPractices on organizational innovativeness. In the light of the findings, it is suggested that merely positive relationship between HRMPractices and Innovativeness may not automatically lead an organization to achieve the outcome of organization-wide innovativeness and succeed in the market. The secretof success, therefore, lies in fostering Organizational learning through a suitable set of HRM Practices and preparing the employees for knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer, thus embedding creativity and innovativeness in the whole organization and ensuringlong term success in the business world through sustained competitive advantage.en_US
