Abstract
The impact of organizational learning on project performance has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Process focus is recognized as one of five factors which help to promote organizational learning through out the process. A theoretical model is derived based upon prior researches in literature to examine the effects of organizational learning and process focus on project performance. The structural equation modeling was adopted to test the proposed hypotheses, and Taiwanese corporate IS companies served as examples. The results revealed that organization process focus has a positive impact on organizational learning, which in turn has a positive influence on project performance. Both organization process focus and organizational learning play the influence on project performance. These findings should give valuable information for managers to revisit their priorities in terms of the relative efforts in organization process focus and organization learning.Keywords
