“…The field of workplace learning has expanded around the world given the continued rise of global work (Toiviainen et al , 2022). According to Brandi and Iannone (2021), one key difference in the field of workplace learning compared to related fields such as human resources is the focus on socio-cultural dimensions and their impact on learning.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the scope and nature of information sharing as a form of workplace learning among gig workers. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from public social media communities of gig workers in Thailand. In total, 338 posts and 3,022 comments on the posts were analyzed (data corpus N = 3,360). Thailand was selected for the context of this study given its high level of social media penetration, a high percentage of digital service consumption of internet users and the prevalence of app-based gig workers. This study used thematic analysis using inductive and semantic coding to generate themes. Findings Findings showed two overarching themes of information sharing, which included on-the-job experience and inquiries. One surprising finding was the extent to which gig workers used social media to help others even when it potentially undermined their success. Research limitations/implications This study adds evidence to the role of information sharing in workplace learning and illustrates how gig workers who do not have access to traditional training and learning opportunities use social media communities to fill this need. Originality/value Given the surge of digitalization and internet infrastructure leading to the rise of gig work worldwide, this study provides a closer look at how gig workers are using social media communities to facilitate workplace learning and support one another amid otherwise difficult and insecure working conditions. It also discusses the role that culture plays in facilitating a cooperative rather than a competitive environment among drivers.

“…Concerning external interactions, physical proximity increases communication, face-to-face contact, and knowledge spillovers. In this vein, clusters of organisations with a high level of linkage between them and universities and R&D centres can foster success in learning environments (Toiviainen et al, 2022).…”

Nowadays, public and private organisations appear increasingly committed to fostering the skills necessary to deal with the challenges of the current scenario. From this perspective, public and private organisations are developing new spaces for learning. The notion of learning space draws its origin and main application in educational institutions. However, it constitutes a distinctive concept for all the organisational contexts in which the creation and management of knowledge and learning dynamics are enabling factors that support innovation and growth dynamics. Although several studies have already discussed the features characterising a learning space or a learning environment, the literature is fragmented and does not provide a comprehensive, fresh view of the learning space, its components, or its impact on learning processes and knowledge dynamics. This is particularly true in management literature. The research results synthesise data and knowledge gathered from the systematic literature review, providing researchers and practitioners with an integrative picture of the definitions of "learning space" and "learning environment" in the management literature and producing a descriptive framework that highlights the relevant dimensions that influence learning processes and knowledge dynamics.
