Klappentext zu „Supporting Workplace Learning “
During the 1990s, the workplace was rediscovered as a rich source of learning. The issue of workplace learning has since received increasing attention from academics and practitioners alike but is still under-researched empirically. This book brings together a range of state-of-the-art research papers addressing interventions to support learning in the workplace. The authors are experienced international scholars who have an interest in making HRD and workplace learning practices more evidence-based through practical relevant research.
Although workplace learning is largely an autonomous process, many organizations want to manage it as part of their broader HRD strategy. There are limits, however, to the extent to which the complex dynamics of learning in the workplace can be guided in pre-determined desirable directions. This tension between the possible strengths of workplace learning and the limits of managing it is at the heart of this volume.
The book is broken into three sections. The first section deals with workplace learning interventions, including HRD practitioners' strategies, training and development activities, and e-learning programs. The second section investigates the impact of social support, or lack thereof, in workplace learning, such as mentoring, coaching, and socialization practices. The third section addresses collective learning in the workplace, looking at teams, knowledge productivity, and collaborative capability building.
The book brings together a range of state-of-the-art research papers addressing various interventions to support learning in the workplace. It is the very tension between the need to encourage learning in the workplace and the desire to manage its complex dynamics that the book will address, as it investigates the following related questions based on conceptual and empirical research conducted by the authors:
- Which interventions can organisations make to encourage workplace learning?
- How can social support contribute to workplace learning?
- What are the roles of HRD practitioners in stimulating workplace learning?
- Which interventions can organisations make to encourage workplace learning?
- How can social support contribute to workplace learning?
- What are the roles of HRD practitioners in stimulating workplace learning?

Rezension zu „Supporting Workplace Learning “
From the reviews:"The book draws upon papers given at the 2006 European conference on Human Resource Development (HRD) Research and Practice. ... this compilation of literature reviews and empirical studies will be a welcome source of current knowledge for HRD practitioners, workplace learning researchers, as well as adult education scholars who focus on theories of adult learning. The strength of the text comes from the diverse methodological approaches as well as the breadth of theoretical frameworks employed by the authors in each chapter." (Shauna Butterwick, Educational Review, June, 2012)
