Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess previous research on conditions for managers’ learning and development in daily work practices and how such conditions may influence their sustainability and also to propose a concept and a heuristic model that reconceptualizes and expands on the theoretical foundations generated in previous studies of managers’ learning and development at work. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on an integrative literature review. The literature search identified 1,403 unique studies. Nine qualitative and seven quantitative studies met the relevance and quality criteria and were included in the review. Findings The results of the review found associations between managers’ learning conditions, career opportunities, individual engagement and sustainability. However, the small amount of empirical data used in the reviewed studies and the cross-sectional design of the studies make it difficult to establish the nature of the relationship between different variables. Practical implications The results of this paper show that managers need to care for and take advantage of opportunities for their own development and not only function as creators of their employees’ development. Employers should keep in mind that the development environment includes managers and employees. Originality/value This paper contributes with an original concept of managers’ development environments and a conceptual model that integrates theory with results from the included studies. Based on the model, propositions that may serve as an agenda for future research are formulated.

管理者的发展环境:综合文献综述

目的本文的目的是评估以往关于管理者在日常工作实践中学习和发展的条件的研究，以及这些条件如何影响其可持续性，并提出一个概念和启发式模型，对以往研究管理者在工作中学习和发展的理论基础进行重新定义和扩展。设计/方法论/方法本文基于综合文献综述。文献检索确定了1403项独特的研究。9项定性研究和7项定量研究符合相关性和质量标准，并被纳入审查。调查结果发现，管理者的学习条件、职业机会、个人参与度和可持续性之间存在关联。然而，在审查的研究中使用的经验数据很少，研究的横截面设计也很难确定不同变量之间关系的性质。实践启示本文的研究结果表明，管理者需要关心和利用自身发展的机会，而不仅仅是员工发展的创造者。雇主应该记住，发展环境包括经理和员工。独创性/价值本文提出了管理者发展环境的独创性概念，并建立了一个将理论与纳入研究的结果相结合的概念模型。基于该模型，提出了可能作为未来研究议程的命题。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Workplace Learning aims to provide an avenue for the presentation and discussion of research related to the workplace as a site for learning. Its scope encompasses formal, informal and incidental learning in the workplace for individuals, groups and teams, as well as work-based learning, and off-the-job learning for the workplace. This focus on learning in, from and for the workplace also brings with it questions about the nature of interventions that might assist the learning process and of the roles of those responsible directly or indirectly for such interventions. Since workplace learning cannot be considered without reference to its context, another aim of the journal is to explore the organisational, policy, political, resource issues and other factors which influence how, when and why that learning takes place.
