Based on this discussion, the author develops a theoretical framework including human agency as an individual feature (i. e., a disposition) as well as a set of self-initiated and goal-directed behaviours that are assumed to affect employees' learning and development (e. g., crafting of new work experiences). He then further specifies this theoretical framework and investigates it empirically in the domain of geriatric care nursing. Based on the findings of the three empirical studies conducted, the author discusses the relevance of human agency for the development of professional expertise of geriatric care nurses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgency: An Abstract and Multifaceted Construct\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Role of Agency in Professional Development\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsights into Agency in the Domain of Geriatric Care Nursing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpirical Study on the Relationship of Agency and Expertise Development\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTarget Groups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearchers and students in the fields of educational science, psychology, or sociology with a focus on life-course research, and nursing science\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractitioners working in geriatric care management or personnel development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Goller is a research associate at the University of Paderborn working in the research group Educational Management and Research on Further Education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277813538967,"sku":"9783658182854","price":5141.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783658182854.webp?v=1769289262","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/human-agency-at-work-an-active-approach-towards-expertise-development-9783658182854","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
