Autonomous Learning in the Workplace by Jill E Ellingson

Autonomous Learning in the Workplace by Jill E Ellingson

Traditionally, organizations and researchers have focused on learning that occurs through formal training and development programs. However, the realities of today’s workplace suggest that it is difficult, if not impossible, for organizations to rely mainly on formal programs for developing human capital. This volume offers a broad-based treatment of autonomous learning to advance our understanding of learner-driven approaches and how organizations can support them. Contributors in industrial/organizational psychology, management, education, and entrepreneurship bring theoretical perspectives to help us understand autonomous learning and its consequences for individuals and organizations. Chapters consider informal learning, self-directed learning, learning from job challenges, mentoring, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), organizational communities of practice, self-regulation, the role of feedback and errors, and how to capture value from autonomous learning. This book will appeal to scholars, researchers, and practitioners in psychology, management, training and development, and educational psychology.

‘Moving towards expertise at work requires many unstructured learning experiences beyond formal trainingEllingson and Noe’s book provides insights into this shifting world of workplace learning while also offering recommendations for creating the conditions for effective autonomous learning. Highly recommended!’

– J. Kevin Ford, Department of Psychology, Michigan State University

‘This scholarly, thoughtful book contains many insights to help researchers and practitioners understand and facilitate the effective use of autonomous learning in organizations.’

– Scott Tannenbaum, President, The Group for Organizational Effectiveness (gOE)
