    Onag, AO; Tepeci, M; Basalp, AA
    The purpose of this study was (1) to explore the levels and dimensions of Organizational Learning Capability (OLC) and Organizational Innovativeness (OI) and (2) to investigate the effects of OLC on OI. The data were collected from entry and middle level managers of firms, which are the members of Manisa Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The data were collected from 143 managers through survey (by web page and by personal visits). The analysis revealed that OLC had seven factor dimensions: knowledge sharing, dialogue, participative decion making, managerial commitment, experience and openness, knowledge transfer, and risk taking. The OI was measured by five dimensions including behavioral, product, process, market, and strategic innovativeness. The results indicate that OLC dimensions significantly influenced OI. In the conclusion, the study findings, implications, limitations and recommendations were stated. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
