Self-Directed Learning as a Practice of Workplace Learning: Interpretative Repertoires of Self-Directed Learning in ICT Work
2019
Changing technologies and competition in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) are challenging the learning of individual workers and teams alongside and through work. Organisations call for employees’ autonomy and self-directedness executed by agile operations and low hierarchies, where learning is also increasingly the responsibility of the individuals and teams themselves and occurs in practice without strong control of the organisation. Therefore, the multidimensional concept of self-directed learning becomes essential in the context of learning at work. In this study, we examine how employees in the ICT sector describe self-directed learning practices in the conte…
Sustainability Perspectives in Organizational and Workplace Learning Studies
2022
The association between sustainability and learning in organizations and workplaces represents a current articulated grand challenge for human resource development (HRD) and learning studies and practice, which calls for integrated inquiries. However, studies of learning in organizations and workplaces deal with sustainability in scattered and diverse ways that promote calls for more integrated understandings of the different approaches and associations. This article outlines the results from a scoping thematic review mapping out leading perspectives within the research fields of HRD, organizational learning (OL) and workplace learning (WPL).

Workplace Learning from the Organizational Point of View
2022
The focus of this chapter is on workplace learning from the organizational point of view. The chapter reviews multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research literature on learning organization starting from the seminal works by Argyris and Schön, and Senge, and continuing with the studies of the development of measuring characteristics of learning organization by Marsick and Watkins.

The concepts such as knowledge creation, expansive learning and innovative knowledge co…

The lived experience of rescuing people who have driven into floodwater: Understanding challenges and identifying areas for providing support.
2018

Driving into floodwater is a major risk factor for flood-related drowning and injury, and despite widespread public health campaigns, many people continue to undertake this risky behaviour and require rescue. Purpose: We aimed to identify key challenges faced by emergency services personnel when rescuing those who have driven into floodwater, and to identify strategies for supporting rescuers in this important role. Methods: Australian flood rescue operators (N = 8) who had previously rescued a driver who had driven into floodwater participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed u…

2022
Mūsdienās pateicoties globalizācijai angļu valoda kļūst aizvien svarīgāka lai spētu pilnībā piedalīties mācību un darba vidē. Šajās vidēs personām vajadzētu zināt ne tikai atbilstošu daudzumu angļu valodas ikdienas saziņai, bet arī izmantot vārdu krājumu, kas ir specifisks dotajai nozarei. Daži no veidiem kā efektīvāk mācīt vārdu krājumu ir atsaukšana un konteksta pavedieni. Diplomdarba mērķis bija izpētīt atsaukšanas un konteksta efektivitāti un karjerai specificēta vārdu krājuma svarīgumu skolēniem. Par pētījuma metodi tika izvēlēts atsevišķa gadījuma pētījums, kura laikā tika veikti praktiski uzdevumi un tika secināts, ka lai gan atsaukšana un konteksta pavedieni var būt efektīvas metode…

Darba vietas demokrātija un darbinieku labklājība teledarba kontekstā uzņēmumā PULP Magazine
2021
Pieaugošā sociālā vajadzība noteikt darbinieku labklājību par prioritāti prasa pragmatisku veidu, kā panākt labāku demokrātiju darba vietā mūsdienu kapitāla uzkrāšanas laikmeta robežās. Pētījuma mērķis ir izstrādāt priekšlikumus demokrātijas uzlabošanai darba vietā, izmantojot teledarba politiku. Rezultāts ir priekšlikumu kopums, kuru mērķis ir uzlabot demokrātiju darba vietā, izmantojot atbilstošu tāldarba politiku, vienlaikus uzlabojot darbinieku labklājību. Procesā netika atrasta statistiski nozīmīga saikne starp subjektīvo autonomiju, atbildību un sniegumu. Tālāk autore izstrādāja provizorisku teorētisku ietvaru, kurā darba demokrātija ir apvienota ar tāldarbu.
