Learning
conditions in companies |
| Outline |
A
mapping of learning conditions in companies has been carried out in Norway.
This starts out from distinguishing between 'learning-restrictive' companies,
typically employing low-skilled females, and 'learning-intensive' companies,
mostly involving high-skilled males. The learning conditions include:
-
a large degree of exposure to frequent change;
-
a large degree of exposure to great demand;
-
managerial responsibility;
-
frequent external contact;
-
direct feedback on execution of work tasks;
-
management support of learning;
-
reward of proficiency. |
| Debate |
The study
supports the assumption that you need challenging tasks for learning.
The question
of what 'learning' is needs further analysis.
The study
also underlines the relevance of change as a driving force for individual
and organisational learning.
