This study endeavours to delve into the repercussions of organizational learning on the knowledge performance of educators within the Catholic schools of Karachi, Pakistan. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design, enlisting the participation of 282 teachers, situated within the secondary schools under the jurisdiction of the Catholic Board of Education in Karachi. The data collection tool employed in this study was the Dimensions of the Learning School Questionnaire (DLSQ). To analyse the collected data, the research harnessed the statistical prowess of the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 and Smart PLS 4. The findings of the investigation elucidate the existence of a notably positive and statistically significant relationship between individual-level learning and the knowledge performance of teachers. Similarly, this correlation extends to school-level and global-level learning, both exhibiting a significant association with knowledge performance within Catholic schools in Karachi. However, it is noteworthy that team-level learning failed to demonstrate any significant impact on the knowledge performance of these schools. The findings of the study will serve as a foundation for the Catholic School Board as well as the teachers to revamp their policies for the future.
