Open access

This study examines the mediating role of organisational learning in the relationship between employee participation, training & development, career planning, and private university performance. It proposes a conceptual framework to analyses these relationship. The framework is based on key theories and relevant literature in human resources management practices and organisation performance. The framework can be used to empirically test the above relationship. Data will be collected through a cross sectional survey. Methodologically, the framework will be tested using a quantitative method and SmartPLS will be used for data analysis. The proposed framework is predicted to have major managerial implications for the private higher education system seeking to improve its competitive advantage.
