‘ MY BOSS MAKES THE MOST OUT OF IT ’: The predictive value of learning climates for employability
研究了组织学习氛围对管理者和下属就业能力的不同影响，发现管理者能从三种学习氛围中获益，而下属仅从促进性氛围中获益。
Abstract This study aims to examine to what extent the employability of followers and their managers is equally supported by organizational learning climates. Studies often assume that managers and their followers benefit equally from these climates. However, this assumption overlooks the distinct roles and positions that managers hold in comparison with their followers. Managers typically have more freedom to engage in learning activities, make decisions about their professional development and leverage organizational resources to support their growth. Consequently, they may have better positions to reap the benefits of learning climates than followers, whose roles may be constrained by organizational hierarchies. Using an actor–partner interdependence model, in a dyadic study among 205 manager‐follower dyads, we investigated how three specific learning climates—appreciation, facilitation and error avoidance—relate to managers' and followers' employability. Our findings revealed that managers' employability benefits from all three climates. Contrastingly, followers' employability is enhanced only by a facilitating learning climate. These results suggest that learning climates primarily enhance managers' career potential, while followers depend more on direct facilitation to improve their employability.
