Background This study aims to explore and identify the organizational attributes that contribute to learning and improvement capabilities (L&IC) in healthcare organizations. The authors define learning as a structured update of system properties based on new information, and improvement as a closer correspondence between actual and desired standards. They highlight the importance of learning and improvement capabilities in maintaining high-quality care, and emphasize the need for empirical research on organizational attributes that contribute to these capabilities. The study has implications for healthcare organizations, professionals, and regulators in understanding how to assess and enhance learning and improvement capabilities. Methods A systematic search of peer-reviewed articles published between January 2010 and April 2020 was carried out in the PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and APA PsycINFO databases. Two reviewers independently screened the titles and abstracts and conducted a full-text review of potentially relevant articles, eventually adding five more studies identified through reference scanning. Finally, a total of 32 articles were included in this review. We extracted the data about organizational attributes that contribute to learning and improvement, categorized them and grouped the findings step-by-step into higher, more general-level categories using an interpretive approach until categories emerged that were sufficiently different from each other while also being internally consistent. This synthesis has been discussed by the authors. Results We identified five attributes that contribute to the L&IC of healthcare organizations: perceived leadership commitment, open culture, room for team development, initiating and monitoring change, and strategic client focus, each consisting of multiple facilitating aspects. We also found some hindering aspects. Conclusions We have identified five attributes that contribute to L&IC, mainly related to organizational software elements. Only a few are identified as organizational hardware elements. The use of qualitative methods seems most appropriate to understand or assess these organizational attributes. We feel it is also important for healthcare organisations to look more closely at how clients can be involved in L&IC. Trial registration Not applicable.

“…The theory also highlights the creation and transfer of knowledge, ultimately striving for the development of learning organizations capable of continuous improvement and innovation. It provides a framework for understanding how organizations can become more effective, adaptive, and responsive to change by harnessing their collective knowledge and learning capabilities (Hafit, et al, 2022). In promoting a learning mindset and creating supportive environments, organizations can enhance their performance, competitiveness, and long-term success.…”

The strategic capabilities and the sustainable competitive advantage have remained a central locus of academic discourse, though their comprehensive examination within the developing world, particularly in Kenya, in the area of seed industry has been noticeably limited. The objective of this study was to look into the influence of strategic organizational learning capability on the sustainable competitive advantage of seed companies in Kenya. The theories that supported the study were: organizational learning theory and dynamic capability theory. The research adopted a positivist approach because the role of the researcher was limited to data collection and interpretation in a manner which was observable and verifiable. The research used cross-sectional and descriptive designs where qualitative data was collected through reviewing of company manuals. A questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from 76 private seed firms in Kenya, using stratified sampling technique, with 280 respondents from top management, finance, operations, and information communication technology departments. Data acquired through the administration of questionnaires was analyzed utilizing multiple regression analysis, and a rigorous assessment of hypotheses. The investigation yielded an array of insightful findings, notably, strategic organizational learning capability emerged as a pivotal determinant, displaying a robust and statistically significant positive relationship. The study concluded that strategic organizational learning capability indeed had a significant influence on the sustainable competitive advantage of seed companies in Kenya. The study stresses the importance of investing in and strengthening strategic organizational learning capability. Seed companies should therefore foster a culture of continuous learning, measure and assess learning outcomes, and promote sustainable competitive advantage.
