    Abstract
    A review of empirical literature demonstrates the link between learning organization and firm performance. However, mediating role of learning organization in the relationship between knowledge management and firm performance has not been established using large manufacturing firms. This study was motivated by the desire to fill this gap in knowledge. The study examined mediating role of learning organization in the relationship between knowledge management and non-financial measures of performance. The empirical results demonstrated following: (i) Influence of knowledge management on non-financial performance was statistically significant (ii) Knowledge management positively influences learning organization (iii) Learning organization is a mediator between knowledge management and non-financial performance. The results revealed that knowledge management and learning organization have a direct and significant influence on firm performance. We recommend that manufacturing firms should align knowledge management and learning organization practices to attain and sustain superior performance. Keywords: Knowledge Management, Learning Organization, Non-Financial Performance, Large Manufacturing Firms
