Abstract
The hospitality and tourism industries have been slow to integrate the practice of knowledge management, while other industries have embraced this concept well over the last ten years. In a global business climate where constant change is the norm, the concept of organizational learning culture (OLC) has never been more significant. This study will examine how hourly hospitality employees perceive OLC and to what extent they are supported by middle management.
