The present book collects, integrates, and discusses the range of
perspectives and discourses on agency at work. In addition, the
book compiles the empirical research that has been generated by
various perspectives. The chapters deal with the relationship
between (a) agency at work, and (b) professional learning and
development. They encompass a wide variety of working life domains
and/or contexts, and are based on a broad range of epistemological
and theoretical standpoints. This volume is not only thought to
bring together current research, but also to foster the
contemporary discourse on workplace agency a few steps further.
Although the book strongly focuses on research originating in the
field of workplace learning, its contents may be of interest to
researchers from other scientific domains, such as socio-cognitive
and development psychology, organisational behaviour, leadership,
economics, life-course research, and philosophy.
This volume provides alternatives for tackling existing empirical,
methodological, and analytical challenges. It does so by providing
a broad overview of less established, as well as emerging methods,
which are of great relevance for current research on professional
learning and development. As such, it offers a comprehensive
collection of state-of-the-art methodologies and future directions
within the workplace learning and professional development
research. By describing these novel approaches and providing
empirical illustrations, the book promotes innovative methodologies
for investigating professional learning and development. It also
supports scholars to understand upcoming empirical research and
methods and encourages novice as well as established researchers to
adopt new empirical strategies beyond traditional ones that have
the potential to enrich a better understanding of professional
learning and development.
