Abstract
Research objectives were to determine a systematic framework and to blend a causal model of learning orientation, quality of leader-member exchange, goal orientation, and workgroup performance of pharmaceutical company employees in Thailand. The study reported the responses of 583 operational employees from 39 pharmaceutical companies operating in different parts of Thailand. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics using SPSS (version 11.5) and path analysis using LISREL (version 8). Research findings indicated that dimensions of learning orientation, quality of leader-member exchange, and goal orientation have mediated positive effect on workgroup performance. Goal orientation positively mediates the relationships between learning orientation and workgroup performance and between quality of leader-member exchange and workgroup performance. Furthermore, learning orientation is positively correlated with the quality of leader-member exchange.

Summary
A learning organization exploits its knowledge resources to generate superior performance (Pemberton & Stonehouse, 2000). From a strategic point of view, a firm will seek knowledge that is lacking and is vital for the fulfilment of its strategic objectives (Lindley & Wheeler, 2000). The leadership quality concept based on leader-member exchange theory (LMX) is incorporated into the framework to identify the key leadership aspects that affect the formation of employees’ learning and performance goal orientation (Graen et al, 1990). Research objectives were to determine a systematic framework and to blend a causal model of learning orientation, quality of leader-member exchange, goal orientation, and workgroup performance of pharmaceutical company employees in Thailand
