ENHANCING PERSONNEL LEARNING MOTIVATIONS AND SELF-EFFICACY IN ORGANIZATIONS
ENHANCING PERSONNEL LEARNING MOTIVATIONS AND SELF-EFFICACY IN ORGANIZATIONS

Summary/Abstract: Data indicate that the number of working-age residents in Latvia will continue to decline by 2035. At the same time, slow employment growth and increasing female participation in the labour market mean that learning will become the only way to compensate for labour shortages. According to PIAAC data, Latvia does not fully utilise lifelong learning opportunities and retains low basic skills, which determine low self-efficacy and generate low learning motivation. The World Economic Forum, , has ranked lifelong learning among the most important skills, based on rapid technological development and the resulting global changes. The aim of the study is to theoretically analyse and empirically examine opportunities for enhancing learning motivation and self-efficacy in organisations. A survey of employed persons in Latvia revealed statistically significant relationships between learning motivation and self-efficacy. Statistically significant gender differences were found in intrinsic learning motivation, while no statistically significant gender differences were observed in self-efficacy assessment.
