Abstract

In the dynamic landscape of South Sudan's NGOs and private enterprises, the interplay between organizational learning, employee dynamic capability, and employee performance is of paramount importance for fostering resilience and sustainability. This study investigates these relationships through a comprehensive analysis of 360 respondents, utilizing structured questionnaires and covariance-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal robust positive associations between organizational learning and both employee dynamic capability and performance, affirming the critical role of learning initiatives in enhancing employees' adaptability and response to changing environments. Moreover, employee dynamic capability emerges as a significant predictor of performance, underscoring its pivotal role in organizational effectiveness. The study not only advances theoretical understanding but also offers practical implications for organizational leaders and policymakers seeking to optimize performance outcomes amidst socio-political instability and economic challenges. By illuminating the mechanisms driving organizational effectiveness in challenging contexts, this research contributes to the scholarly discourse and provides actionable strategies for fostering resilience and sustainability in NGOs and private enterprises operating in South Sudan and similar environments.
