Whitepaper on Competence Development and Qualification in Organizations

Research in organizational psychology on work-related learning usually focuses on the perspective of companies. However, since co-determination and co-design of learning by employees also play an important role in competence development and further training, Dr. Julian Decius, together with Michael Gensler from Technologieberatungsstelle (TBS) NRW, has published a whitepaper (in German) aimed in particular at works councils in companies. The whitepaper discusses the three basic learning forms of formal, self-regulated and informal learning in the workplace, learning barriers and conducive conditions, as well as "agile" and "new" learning. In addition, concrete options of action for interest groups in organizations are presented.

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.
