Exploring the Social Context of Self-directed Learning in the Contemporary Workplace

Original language description

The evolving landscape of workforce learning underscores the increasing importance of self-directed learning (SDL) within business organizations. SDL shifts the learning responsibility to learners themselves, requiring self-control, self-management, and autonomous motivation. Despite its numerous benefits for both business organizations and workers, it is challenged by the varying degrees of workers&apos; individual self-direction. This literature review aims to articulate the significance of social context - the support from leaders and peers - in facilitating workers&apos; SDL. It highlights leader autonomy support as the key factor of fostering workers&apos; autonomous motivation in SDL. Moreover, it examines the role of learner-peer interactions, including help, feedback, and information seeking, as specific aspects of peer support. These interactions further facilitate positive attitudes towards SDL and advance problem-solving, potentially leading to collaborative learning. The literature review is concluded by outlining possible future research directions.
