Human resource development and workplace learning: emerging theoretical perspectives and organisational practices
Journal of European Industrial Training, (2002)
Abstract
Workplace learning and HRD are
considered legitimate topics for
study and investigation alongside
organisational strategies and
practices. Considers key themes
in the workplace earning literature
in addition to its relationship with
HRD. Identifies a paradigm shift
from formalised, intermittent and
discontinuous learning to
increasingly informal, experiential,
asynchronous and real-time
situated learning. Highlights three
contemporary themes in both the
workplace learning and HRD
literatures, namely: knowledge,
expertise, competence and
capability; organisational learning;
and employability and career
issues..
