Abstract
This study aims to analyze and empirically test the influence of knowledge-oriented leadership and organizational learning on human resource (HR) performance. Specifically, the study examines: (1) the effect of knowledge-oriented leadership on HR performance, (2) the effect of organizational learning on HR performance, and (3) the effect of knowledge-oriented leadership on organizational learning. This explanatory associative research involved the entire population of 144 HR personnel at the Jasa Raharja Main Office in Central Java, all of whom were sampled using a census technique. Primary data were collected through questionnaires using a 1–5 Likert scale and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results show that knowledge-oriented leadership has a positive and significant effect on HR performance. Furthermore, organizational learning also positively and significantly affects HR performance. Additionally, knowledge-oriented leadership significantly contributes to enhancing organizational learning. These findings underscore the importance of leadership that fosters learning and organizational culture in improving human resource performance.
