Workplace learning : implications for knowledge management initiatives.

Abstract

The objective of this study was therefore to determine if the assumption of previous learning, through formal education, training and experience, was a significant factor contributing to workplace performance in the Public Service Sector. In doing so, the relationships between previous learning and workplace standards and expectations in the modern work environment were addressed, specifically on whether what was previously learnt was applicable at work, and if what was previously learnt relied upon for performance.
