“…Observational examinations confirmed that transformational leadership is important to organizational learning (Chang et al, 2021;Crossan et al, 2021). Qualities of transformational leadership affect individual learning and energized working environments and social connections that help organizational learning (Mohamed and Otman, 2021). Moreover, gender biases and discrimination may limit women's leadership and decision-making positions in the business world.…”

Purpose In today’s digital age, technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, and businesses that fail to keep up risk falling behind their competitors. This requires not only investing in technological resources but also creating a culture that values and encourages women in technological learning and innovation in the tourism and hospitality sector. This study aims to investigate the consequences of organizational learning on firm innovation directly and indirectly with cultural and technological perspectives. Design/methodology/approach The study carries out a quantitative approach, and data is collected from 398 women entrepreneurs from Thailand’s tourism and hospitality sectors. The statistical software Smart-PLS was used to analyze the data. Findings The findings revealed that organizational learning (the learning orientation and learning process) significantly influence firm innovation and organizational culture. Organizational culture also significantly mediates learning orientation, learning process and firm innovation, while learning leadership was found to be insignificant in relationship with organizational culture and firm innovation. However, technological knowledge has a significant moderating influence between organizational culture and firm innovation. Originality/value This study’s focus on the role of learning practices among women-owned small medium enterprises is a valuable contribution to the literature on innovation and entrepreneurship. These provided dimensions that can be helpful for women entrepreneurs to enhance firm innovation. The study shed light on the importance of diverse kinds of learning practices that change the patterns of innovation. This study also provides directions to practitioners to develop and implement business innovation strategies from women’s perspectives.

“…Similarly, in Sweden, Wallos’ (2008) dissertation on learning-oriented leadership in three industrial companies built on Ellinger's (1997) research. Since then, several literature reviews and conceptual articles have investigated the relationship between leadership and learning at work (Asif, 2019, 2020; Berson et al, 2006; Coetzer et al, 2019; Do & Mai, 2020; Mohamed & Otman, 2021; Xie, 2019). These reviews and conceptual articles have mostly investigated learning at the organizational level, and three of the reviews have examined just one theory of leadership: transformational and transactional leadership (Asif, 2019, 2020; Mohamed & Otman, 2021).…”

Contemporary organizations must be adaptive and agile as the environment changes. To respond to change, leaders must find ways of integrating learning into everyday work experiences. This invites the question: how do leaders facilitate individual, group and organizational learning? Several studies have examined relationships among leadership and learning and potential mediating and moderating variables. However, because this literature is extensive and fragmented it is difficult to discern what is known about how leadership contributes to individual, group and organizational learning. Accordingly, there is a pressing need to assemble and evaluate the existing studies. To address this limitation of the literature, this paper presents a systematic review and critique of literature in this field. Our review of 105 studies suggests that there are statistically significant relationships between different types of leadership and learning at the individual, group, and organizational levels. Furthermore, the findings indicate that these relationships are often mediated by other variables. However, little is known about moderators and boundary conditions. Based on the findings, it would be premature to say with certainty that leadership causally influences learning, since the empirical basis for such a claim is lacking. We outline the conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and empirical refinements needed to guide future research on learning-oriented leadership and advance this research trajectory. The findings of our review and our conclusions will be informative for researchers and practitioners.

The pandemic process has caused many difficulties, both economically and psychologically. The spread of the virus worldwide has caused millions of people to be infected. The rapid spread of the pandemic forced states to take urgent measures. Radical measures such as curfews, mask and distance rules, closures, and travel restrictions have caused a difficult process for both people and businesses. The news of death caused by the virus in the media increased people's fear and anxiety. The unique rules of the new normal process that entered human life with the pandemic also affected the shopping habits and purchasing behaviours of people who are ultimate consumers. Adapting to the changing process and differentiating consumer behaviours has become a necessity for businesses against entropy. The departing of qualified personnel from the sector has resulted in businesses having a problem with human sources. In addition, the need for leaders has emerged for businesses, who will adapt themselves to the new process, motivate human resources, structure the production and marketing infrastructure according to the new normal process, and analyze the current and future trends. It has become important to establish close relations with employees considering their health sensitivity. In this study, the types of leadership that can adapt businesses to the new process are considered transactional leadership and transformational leadership. The study, which analyzes both types of leadership in detail, is expected to contribute to both the literature and the field of practice. In addition, it fills the gap in the literature in terms of the leadership in the pandemic process and is original.
