Abstract

Previous research has revealed that managers profit most from informal and on-thejob learning.Moreover, it has been shown that task characteristics and social support affect informal learning.Based on these insights, the present study examines the effects of task characteristics (psychological job demands and job control) and social support from the supervisor and colleagues on informal on-the-job learning among 1,588 managers in the Dutch home care sector.Regression analysis revealed that high demands, high control, and high colleague and supervisor support were each associated with high levels of informal learning.We found no evidence for statistical interactions among the effects of these concepts.It is concluded that in order to promote informal workplace learning among managers, especially job control should be increased.
