This study provides the first econometric analysis on the dynamic dimension of establishment-level codetermination in Germany. We hypothesize that learning implies a change in the nature and scope of codetermination over time. Using unique data from small- and medium-sized establishments, our...

To overcome the problem of declining performance, organizations need a variety of professional experience portfolio and strong pro-commitment to learning in addition to the need for employees to adapt to various changes, especially technological changes. Adopting the role of organizational...

Although readers of this journal are familiar with work-based learning and with leadership, they may not have entertained the link between them. The paper contends that the link is that the former changes the latter. The authentic practice of work-based learning produces a more collective form...

A comprehensive model of work-based learning is illustrated combining explicit and tacit forms of knowledge and theory and practice modes of learning at both individual and collective levels. The model is designed to bring together epistemic contributions which are typically studied in...

Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has been perceived as an engaging teaching approach to foster students’ learning and motivation. There are different opinions about the potential benefits of gaming on students’ academic achievements, motivation, and skills in science courses due to the...

It is widely accepted that a key driver of a firm's international growth is its knowledge on how to compete in foreign markets. Many firms, however, have attained substantial growth in foreign markets even though they have had little prior direct experience in those markets. Based crucially on...

In this study, we introduce a novel entity matching (EM) framework. It com-bines state-of-the-art EM approaches based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with a new similarity encoding derived from matching techniques that are preva-lent in finance and economics. Our framework is on-par or...

This paper studies career concerns in teams where the support a worker receives depends on fellow team members' effort and ability. In this setting, by exerting effort and providing support, a worker can influence her own and her teammates' performances in order to bias the learning process in...

This study aims at disentangling the returns to formal, non-formal and informal training and fills key knowledge gaps. Informal learning is found to be by far the most common form of job-related learning at work. Learning informally at work is found to be associated with 3.5% higher wages, on...

A novel field experiment shows that learning activities in pairs with a greater spread in abilities lead to better individual work performance, relative to those in pairs with similar abilities. The positive effect of the former is not limited to their performance in peer learning material, but...
