Abstract

Recent demands for people at the workplace are described by modern concepts like flexibility and ability to learn. The capacity of employees to adapt to new skill requirements that result from technological developments and global market dynamics is especially stressed (irdac, 1990; wrr, 1995; european commission, 1996). This implies that important concepts under consideration for research into what makes people successful in labour market functioning are related to learning behavior. In order to become and stay employable, worker’s capacity for life-long learning becomes crucial.keywordslabour marketintrinsic motivationlearning styleextrinsic motivationachievement motivationthese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
