Older Employee's Motivation to Learn and Readiness for Training (eBook, PDF)

Assistance for Leaders in the Context of Agile Personnel Management

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The motivation of older employees to learn is a complex psychological construct that has hardly been addressed to date. With increasing age, changes in learning and performance as well as a decreasing motivation for training become apparent. Gernot Schiefer and Corinna Hoffmann show connections between motivation, performance and learning behavior and analyze motivational factors and learning obstacles of older employees. In a practical manner, the authors present possibilities for companies to actively contribute to promote the learning motivation of their older employees.

This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1^st edition essentials, Lernmotivation und Weiterbildungsbereitschaft älterer Mitarbeiter by Gernot Schiefer and Corinna Hoffmann, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically different from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
