Participant perceptions on the meaning of supervisor and organisational support in creating a positive learning environment

The literature discusses the importance of providing support for learning, however there is not a clear understanding of the types of support that are beneficial. This thesis comprises a series of three studies that address weaknesses in the literature regarding how organisations can support employee learning and transfer. These studies provide rich data that extend the literature through employing a qualitative methodology in an area dominated by quantitative studies. They give voice to employees’ perceptions of what is important to support their learning.
