- Abstract
- This study examines the importance of learning in the workplace and what employees believe is key to master so that they can improve their skills. This will improve our understanding of the workplace´s learning process and as a result, enhance its efficiency. In addition to that, the study will also investigate what employees feel supports or hinder their learning at the workplace. The study is based on qualitative research drawn from four interviews conducted with employees from a company, using a thematic analysis as well as previous research to interpret the results, on learning in the workplace published in the last 20 years. I have then proceeded to address the research question from a sociocultural perspective, which I thought was... (More)

I have then proceeded to address the research question from a sociocultural perspective, which I thought was most suitable for this topic. The results generated from the research shows overwhelming support from the employees to the idea of learning in the workplace. But time and again, they face challenges such as time limits and workload from their normal tasks. Furthermore, employees believed that they gain considerable knowledge from exchanging ideas with one another. In conclusion, this study has found that workplace learning is important both for employers and employees. Employees learn a substantial amount of information from each other. But they also face challenges such as time limitations and workload issues. To mitigate these problems, one of the solutions explored in the discussion is creating continuous learning and a long-term study plan which will significantly limit the amount of hours invested and amount of work required from the learning sessions. The results of the study can increase the understanding of and knowledge about the employees' conditions for learning in the workplace. (Less)

- Denna studie undersöker betydelsen av lärande på arbetsplatsen och vad medarbetarna anser är viktigt att lära sig på arbetsplatsen för att utvecklas i sina färdigheter. Syftet med denna studie är att belysa och öka förståelsen för lärande på arbetsplatser, vilket görs genom att undersöka vad medarbetare upplever stödjer eller hindrar deras lärande på sin arbetsplats. Mitt underlag bygger på en kvalitativ studie som bygger på fyra intervjuer med anställda från ett företag samt tidigare forskning som berör lärande på arbetsplatsen från de senaste 20 åren. Vidare analyseras det framkomna materialet genom en tematisk analys för att tolka resultatet. Detta har jag sedan granskat och analyserat utifrån sociokulturella perspektiv för att ge svar... (More)

Mitt underlag bygger på en kvalitativ studie som bygger på fyra intervjuer med anställda från ett företag samt tidigare forskning som berör lärande på arbetsplatsen från de senaste 20 åren. Vidare analyseras det framkomna materialet genom en tematisk analys för att tolka resultatet. Detta har jag sedan granskat och analyserat utifrån sociokulturella perspektiv för att ge svar på min forskningsfråga. Utifrån resultatet har jag funnit att lärande på arbetsplatsen är mycket viktigt och att det finns många möjligheter men också hinder för lärande på arbetsplatsen. En av de viktigaste slutsatserna är att alla medarbetare kan lära sig något och utvecklas så länge de vill. En annan slutsats är att arbetstid kan begränsa möjligheterna för lärande på arbetsplatsen. En sista slutsats är att medarbetarna utbyter kunskap med varandra och lär sig av varandra på arbetsplatsen. Studiens resultat kan öka förståelsen för och kunskap om medarbetarnas villkor för lärande på arbetsplatsen. (Less)
