Summary/Abstract: In the paper we suggest a model of organisational learning (OL) consisting of four connected constructs related to the processes of learning and knowledge creation, and organisational performance. With the use of structural equation modelling we confirm strong positive relationships between constructs of information acquisition, knowledge creation and cognitive and behavioural changes, all together leading to changes in organisational performance. We also recognise information interpretation as a process positively related to knowledge creation but on the other hand related neither to cognitive and behavioural changes nor organisational performance. The findings explain OL from the viewpoints of single and double loop learning and emphasise the importance of introducing both of them in the organisation.
