As part of a symposium organized by Gabrielle Danna and Jason G. Randall (both at the University at Albany) titled "Recent Research Advances in Informal Learning," he introduced the preliminary results of a meta-analysis on the relationship between social support and informal learning. Scott Tannenbaum (Group for Organizational Effectiveness) served as the symposium discussant. Prof. Dr. Carolin Graßmann, Laura Creon and Annelie Lorber were involved in the preparation of the meta-analytical study.

Learning processes over time

This topic focuses on how (informal) learning behavior in organizations changes over days, weeks, and months. Moreover, we analyze the dynamics of work-related learning and how learning trajectories differ between employees.

Designing work contexts

The goal of this thematic focus is to examine conducive conditions for work-related learning, employability, and organizational development, both by managers (e.g., shaping learning culture) and by employees (e.g., job crafting).

New Work requires New Learning

This topic is dedicated to the question of how employees in dynamic work environments can be empowered to learn "what they really, really want" in a self-directed way. The "Learning Opportunities Perception Potential", which helps employees to grasp learning opportunities, is considered crucial here.
