The nature of the workplace and the workforce has changed rapidly
in post-industrial society. Most workers are now facing the need
for high levels of preparatory education, retraining for new jobs
and the ability to continue learning at work in order to keep up
with new developments. The book, first published in 1987, argues
that training in the workplace often fails because it is based on
conditions that no longer prevail in modern organisations. The
mechanistic approach of the behaviourist paradigm, it is argued,
views the organisation as a machine and training as the preparation
of workers for machine-like work according to their levels in the
hierarchy, much as on an assembly line. The humanists' advocation
of collaborative learning has changed but not fundamentally altered
this conception. This book will be of interest to students of
education and business management.
