Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

The study finds that people who score highly in three key personality traits – learning goal orientation, curiosity and need for cognition are more likely to choose a more challenging task over an easy task, despite a lack of monetary incentivization. This suggests that these three characteristics predict learning readiness in workers, who need to be willing as well as able to take on informal learning opportunities in order to further develop their skills and capabilities in the workplace.

Originality

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
