Learning at Work Survey, 2004

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br>The <i>Learning at Work Survey, 2004</i> is an innovative survey of how employees learn at work. It comprised questions that aim to: reveal previously under-researched (and under-surveyed) sources of learning associated with everyday work activities; identify their relative importance in helping individuals improve their job performance and map their distribution among employees. It was based on a survey of 1,943 employees interviewed about their jobs in a three week period in February 2004.<br>
<br>
This survey is linked to the <i>Communities of Practice Survey, 2007</i> (available at the UKDA under SN 6085). Both surveys were completed as part of a project set up to investigate the factors that facilitate or impede learning at work.
