“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ” (Alvin Toffler)

With the rise of the knowledge society high performing workplaces are getting the idea that there is a huge untapped potential of human capital in the workplace which can be utilized by fostering organizational learning processes and formal and informal workplace learning. Lombardo & Eichinger (2000) showed that the skills that an employee acquires in the workplace comes in 10% from learning delivered via formal training processes, in 20% from learning developed through relationships, networks and feedback, while in 70% from learning by using challenging assignments and on-the-job experiences. By linking together individual and team learning in organizational development processes and realizing the interconnections of learning and change in the change management process, organizational learning can be enhanced. 

My name is László Horváth, I'm a PhD student at Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary. In my research I focus on informal workplace learning from an adult learning theory perspective. I would like to examine the knowledge sharing skills and attitudes of adults in Europe. In my previous research I've managed to identify a model for knowledge sharing as a competence in a Hungarian sample and now I would like to expand my research to the international field. My long term plan is to use the results of the survey to create a organizational development plans and training in order to help institutions to foster workplace learning.

The survey is anonymous, participation is voluntary. Only the aggregated data will be used and I won't give out them to third parties. The questions marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory!
