Abstract :
This work focuses on the crucial role of individuals in the process of knowledge generation, transfer, and retention in project-based organization and proposes an alternative perspective of organizational learning framework. Learning motivation is argued to be the most vital antecedent to organizational learning process. By motivationalizing organizational learning, we have the benefit of understanding why or why don´t individual employees engage in organizational learning activities and hence be more capable of suggesting appropriate organizational learning interventions.
