Antecedents of employees’ involvement in work-related learning: A systematic review

The involvement in work-related learning seems to be more complex than a simple supply-demand fit. An interplay of several factors can influence this involvement at different stages of the decision making process of the employee. The aim of this systematic review is to examine which antecedents of work-related learning have been identified in previous research. In total 56 studies met the criteria for inclusion. The current study reports how work-related learning was measured and what the empirically observed relationship is between learning intention and actual participation in work-related learning. The results show a positive relationship between intention and participation. A learning intention is foremost related to the attitude, subjective norm, self-efficacy and career-related variables of the employee. Important predictors of actual participation in work-related learning are firm size, initial level of education and self-efficacy of the employee, support by managers and opportunities within the organization.
