- Abstract
- nformal learning through work is learner initiated, happens outside formal training and is practice-based (Noe et al., 2013). In addition, informal learning may also take place while learners are participating in a purposefully designed formal learning environment (Poell, 2017). And in a similar vein, informal learning activities at work may represent a work-integrated continuation of formal learning activities. The interest in the concept of informal learning through work, and the range of topics that are being investigated, has increased vastly in the last decade. This Research Topic illustrates this development by focusing on a variety of manifestations of informal learning and a range of current topics in the field of learning in organizations and work-related learning (see Table 1). The seven studies cover diverse populations across functions and in seven countries, and are based on quantitative, qualitative, and mixed data.
