ACHIEVING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE THROUGH SPIRITUAL CAPITAL, INNOVATION WORK BEHAVIOR, AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING

This study investigates how organizational learning, innovation work behavior (IWB), and spiritual capital can work together to give businesses a competitive edge. As a collection of firmly held organizational ideals, spiritual capital offers a framework of principles that encourage moral conduct and fulfilling employment. While organizational learning embodies the ability to adapt, evolve, and apply new knowledge effectively, innovation work behavior reflects employees' capacity to generate, promote, and implement novel ideas. Data was gathered quantitatively from 350 middle- and senior-level workers in a variety of Indian industries. The conceptual model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via AMOS, and descriptive statistics, reliability, and correlation analysis were conducted using SPSS. The findings show that spiritual capital greatly improves learning and innovation behavior, two factors that mediate gaining a long-term competitive edge. Both theoretical and practical implications for strategic human capital development are provided by the findings.
