Future research should detect why intended HRD did not have had an effect on group and organizational learning capacity. Possible explanations might include that group learning capacity depends on the interaction among employees and thus is not a direct product of how HR managers organize HRD. OLC did not play a major role in neither intended nor perceived HRD relationships with employee performance. It is possible that employees simply know too little about the organizational systems and structures used to support learning and development within organizations so that they cannot rate these objectively. This might lead to the fact that the employees' perceptions of OLC are not related to intended HRD, because HR managers know about the HRD processes that might influence the organization's learning capacity.
