Purpose: The aim of this article is to attempt to answer the question of how organizational learning affects organizational effectiveness and whether there exists a mediating role of organizational slack in this relationship. Additionally, an effort was made to identify differences that may occur between family-owned and non-family-owned firms in the studied research area.

Design/methodology/approach: Survey research was conducted in a group of 363 firms (197 family businesses and 184 non-family businesses). In the analysis of the results, the first step involved assessing the reliability of the questionnaire used, and subsequently, the PLS-SEM method was employed to verify the hypotheses proposed in the study.

Findings: The conducted research has revealed the existence of a significant relationship between organizational learning and organizational effectiveness, with the presence of organizational slack playing a mediating role to some extent. Importantly, no differences were observed in this regard between family businesses and non-family businesses.

Research limitations/implications: The utilization of survey research is associated with the presence of subjectivity in assessments by respondents.

Originality/value: This article is intended for researchers specializing in family-owned businesses and scholars interested in organizational learning and organizational slack, as well as their interrelationship. For management practitioners, the positive correlation between organizational learning and effectiveness may be of particular significance.(original abstract)
