“…Although we proposed that providing formal learning signaled the organization's long‐term commitment to employees, such activities may be interpreted differently in other contexts. For example, organizations may offer (or mandate) training to meet compliance standards, or to transfer the risk of legal liability from the firm to the trainee (Ross, ). In addition, formal learning may not necessarily be perceived as useful, and it may take time away from other work activities.…”

Informal learning is an important source of employee adaptability and expertise, yet it is unclear how it may be encouraged through human resource management (HRM) practices. In this study, we investigate how opportunities for formal learning may be used to stimulate short‐ and long‐term participation in informal learning. In addition, we examine whether HRM system strength intensifies the relationship between opportunities for formal learning and informal learning. Using a sample of 430 respondents in 52 teams within six Dutch vocational and educational training schools, we adopt a longitudinal design to examine two types of autonomous informal learning activities (reflection and keeping up to date), and three collaborative activities (asking for feedback, knowledge sharing and innovative behavior) over two years. Opportunity for formal learning was positively related to short‐ and long‐term participation in informal learning activities, with the exception of long‐term innovation. Moreover, HRM system strength intensified these relationships. Managerial implications of these findings for encouraging informal learning activities at work are discussed. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The purpose of this review is to summarize Title 42 U.S.C. §1983, sometimes known as the "other" or "original" federal discrimination law in the United States that applies to elected officials, their appointed public administrators, and other employees in state and local governments. This federal statute provides a procedural process that allows a person to bring a private right of action to seek redress when just laws and policies are administered unjustly by state and local governmental entities. A hypothetical set of facts from a municipal setting is used to explore a typical Title 42 U.S.C. § 1983 proceeding. Included in the review are typical defenses and immunities that make these proceedings for both the complaining party and the political entity complex, if not paradoxical. Strategies to prevent such claims are also discussed.
