In China, there are many universities with strong research teams, advanced professional titles, high academic qualifications, and outstanding research capabilities, including experts who have received special allowances from the State Council and young and middle-aged experts who have made outstanding contributions to the country. They are committed to scientific research and technological innovation in various fields. Government reports show that many universities have received significant research funding, but the proportion of research results is relatively low. Some universities have received government research funding exceeding 100 million yuan and undertaken nearly 1000 research projects, but the degree to which research results are translated into practical applications is quite low. This highlights several challenges in translating these research findings into practical applications for these institutions. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of learning organizations as mediating variables on the research performance of Chinese university professors in emotional management, knowledge management, and perceived benefits. This study aims to improve the research output rate of universities in Guangxi, promote the transformation of more research results into tangible productivity, and expand the contribution to the economic and social development of Guangxi and even the entire country.
