Informal learning: Does it increase as a result of new ways of working

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

The data analysis, which had controlled for known antecedents of informal learning, indicated that NWW as a bundle of practices was positive related to informal learning. When the individual elements of NWW were separated out, access to organizational knowledge was the only element that related positively to informal learning.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
