Work Identification - Inhibition or Resource for Learning?

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearch

    Abstract

    This chapter discusses ways in which the subjective identification with work influences one's motivation to engage in learning. The chapter argues that a life history approach, which takes into account the subjective as well as the objective aspects of work can help us to understand the life transition challenges faced by older workers. The chapter draws on research and experience of the life history project at Roskilde University
