Chapter 6 in Learning, Working and Living, 2005, pp 85-101 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Workplaces are important sites of learning, and the understanding of learning at work is a field of great interest for both universities and enterprises and which is dealt with in the fields of education, management, psychology, sociology, human resource management, etc. When workplaces are sites of learning it is important to understand that learning is a complex and multifaceted phenomena. The learning involved can be related to knowledge and skills that are demanded by the employer in the specific job function. This can be the basis for creating new work practices and forms of production and for developing increased productiveness and effectiveness of the firm. Learning also involves personal development, which may spill over into civic life and personal lives.
