Abstract

The practice of learning is considered to be important for an institution to survive or stay competitive when we are in the domain of business and management. Organizational life cycle (OLC) theory, during an institution’s growth from the beginning, to high growth leading to maturity, the institution’s characteristics starts to differ and the internal resources and capabilities of an organization develop over a while. Several scholars have already had discussions about faculty performance in such an institution. Though, few of them talked over the issue in an educational context. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the limited number of researches on the relationship between organizational life cycle & faculty performance in a higher educational institute, by going through the impact of faculty participation in the performance of a private university in Delhi NCR. Organizational life cycle literature has discussed the dynamics, but there is very less knowledge about its relations with institution learning. This study’s findings indicated that faculty performance is positively partial by employee’s contribution in decision making and it significantly associates with academic results of the university. Additionally, employee participation is also positively linked with the academic grades of the university.
