Purpose: This paper aims to examine employee-driven innovation (EDI) intertwined with learning, creating a new description combining these two concepts: employee-driven learning and innovation (EDLI). This paper provides insights into the nature of EDLI based on the existing theories and perspectives. It seeks to elaborate EDLI as an ongoing…

Entertainment games have traditionally been articulated as leisure. However, they have also been used in the work context, in the form of serious games or gamification. In this qualitative research, we aimed to investigate the purpose of games used in the work context. To accomplish this, we conducted six semi-structured interviews and analyzed…

Advances in augmented and virtual reality (AVR) technology have allowed for the development of AVR interactive learning environments (AVR-ILEs) with increasing fidelity. When paired with a suitably capable computer tutor agent, such environments can permit adaptive and self-directed learning of procedural skills in some cases. We undertook a…

Advances in immersive virtual reality (I-VR) technology have allowed for the development of I-VR learning environments (I-VRLEs) with increasing fidelity. When coupled with a sufficiently advanced computer tutor agent, such environments can facilitate asynchronous and self-regulated approaches to learning procedural skills in industrial settings.…

Purpose: This paper aims to further the understanding of the motivation to learn (ML) among an organisation's older cohort of employees. It is proposed that age diversity climate (ADC) will positively impact ML by improving employees' subjective age (SA) perception. Such a climate will indicate that the organisational climate is fair and inclusive…

The intrinsic motivators considered for the study were self-efficacy and motivation to transfer the training knowledge. The study also examined how work conditions mediate the association of…

Purpose: This study aims to support researchers and practitioners in finding suitable instruments for future research studies and organizational quality assessments. Design/methodology/approach: Employees' success of learning at work is strongly influenced by the quality of the workplace learning environment. In the recent decades growing effort…

Background: To improve employment outcome, systematic research that is based on demandside needs is needed to clarify how employer practice factors can affect customized training efforts. Objective: The purpose of this study is to report the results of a scoping review to identify the best employer practices that are used to improve customized…

Purpose: Preventive ergonomics is essential to protecting the health and safety of workers as is recognizing human variability. The purpose of this paper is to describe a Unity-based application designed for three-dimensional postural analysis and visualizations using motion capture data. Integration with virtual reality (VR) technologies allows…

On-the-job training (OJT) programs at private universities play an essential role in providing students with real-world experiences, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed for future career. Researching the factors that affect the effectiveness of OJT is extremely necessary to complete and improve the quality of this training program.…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the direct effects of job support and the indirect effects of individual career planning on the motivational process of training transfer, which consists of the structural relationship between learning goal orientation, learning motivation, transfer motivation and training transfer. Design/methodology/approach:…

The importance of workplace safety education is being emphasized as a method to minimize damage caused by industrial accidents. This study identified research trends and major components of workplace safety education to establish an academic basis for providing education that enables organizational members to engage in safety at work. A literature…
