Abstract
Organizations in the 21st Century are not only encouraged to be learning organizations. They ought to also be inspired to create a learning environment that is supportive to all especially internal stakeholders (employees), as employees will be better furnished with the needed information to break new grounds for them. The principal objective of this study was to ascertain the influence of supportive learning environment on employee job satisfaction, and employee intention to quit as proxies of employee work outcome. Two hypotheses stated in null form were formulated and tested using Kendall_Tau correlation coefficient at a population of 265 accessible hotel and comfort employees. 158 employees served as our sample using Krejcie and Morgan sample size determination table. Accordingly, the research instrument was distributed to 158 employees and 138 representing 87.3% were retrieved and analyzed. The findings revealed that supportive learning environment fosters higher levels of employee job satisfaction, and supportive learning environment largely decreases or reverses impending employee intention to quit. Leadership in organizations should ensure a robust learning environment is created in the workplace to support the course of experiential and on-the-job learning in a more relaxed and friendlier environment. This could help in sufficiently fostering employee job satisfaction. Leadership in organizations are encouraged to institutionalize a supportive learning environment that could connect employees with one another and build their confidence in the organization.
