Kogi State University, Journal of Public Administration, 1 (1): 1-11 Entrepreneurship in the Third World nations is under distress. This is because their SMEs have high mortality rate.

14 Sylva Waribugo & B. C. Onuoha (2016), Organizational Learning Capability, Perceived Organizational Support and Growth of Auto Parts Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria. European Journal of Business and Management, 8(17): 104-117 This Study investigated the relationship between Organizational Learning Capability and Growth of Auto Parts manufacturing firms in Nnewi business cluster, Nigeria; and to ascertain whether Perceived Organizational Support would play a moderating role. A sample size of 75 was selected from a population of 103 employees of seven auto parts manufacturing firms. 72 copies of the questionnaire were eligibly filled and data was analyzed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient with the aid of SPSS version 21. The findings showed that whereas risk taking does not substantially enhance growth, interaction with the external environment serves as a catalyst for growth. Findings also revealed that perceived organizational support moderates the relationship between organizational learning capability and growth. It was therefore recommended that managers of autoparts manufacturing firms should cautiously take risk and interact with the external environment in multiple ways, while making sure that employees are properly taken care of, and their contributions appreciated. The role of government to providing enabling environment for SMEs to strive was emphasized.
