“…As the quotations in Table 2 illustrates, organisational plans/procedures are open to interpretations, with private and faithbased hospitals seen as having clearer guidelines and protocols to guide decision-making when compared with public hospitals. The narratives of all the nurses reflect the risks and vulnerabilities and the personal workplace strategies (Crouse, Doyle, and Young 2011) adopted to cope.…”

“…A qualitative approach is useful for generating 'new ideas and information' about resilience in such under-researched populations (Bonanno 2012, 755). The analysis is based on in-depth face-to-face semi-structured interviews (Crouse, Doyle, and Young 2011), with nurses and nursing managers drawn from public, private and faith-based health facilities. By analysing the 'what' and 'why' in the personal account (Hok et al 2007(Hok et al , 1643 of nurses and nursing managers, we contribute to the HRD literature by developing a framework depicting the determinants of personal resilience that can inform HRD interventions to build the personal resilience of employees.…”

This article explores the determinants of personal resilience using the case of nurse prescribing in the North West Region of Cameroon. Nurse prescribing has long been identified as a practical solution to the severe shortage of well-trained doctors and high incidence of diseases in developing countries. However, the working conditions of nurses are risky and vulnerable due to major constraints, such as inadequate training, poor reward systems, limited access to medical facilities/equipment and high workloads. Building on the resilience concept and using narrative analysis of in-depth interviews with nurses and nursing managers in public, private and faith-based hospitals, the article develops a framework depicting three interrelated determinants of personal resilience, namely organisational plans and procedures, personal work context and personal perception of an individual employee.The determinants are discussed further and implications for HRD theory and practice is critically examined.

“…Organisational factors affecting workplace learning include the climate of libraries, and the managerial support from the authorities. These factors have been identified as strong facilitators of workplace learning 14 . If the climate is healthy, it will attract, and motivate the talented professionals to adapt to changes, navigate challenges, and plan succession more effectively 15 .…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the workplace learning among the library professionals in university libraries in Kerala. Structured questionnaires were employed to collect data from a representative sample of 100 library professionals from the central libraries of the University of Kerala, Mahatma Gandhi University, and University of Calicut. The analysis shows that majority of the library professionals are engaged in workplace learning. It is found that formal learning methods contribute much for workplace learning in the libraries. The library professionals engage in workplace learning to keep them up-to-date. Most of the professionals are self motivated and they acquire the skills for digital library development through these learning interventions.

“…Thus, the focus of professional development has shifted from formal to informal learning activities in recent years (Billett, & Choy, 2013;Marsick,2009). Over the last decade, informal learning has been studied in various contexts such as nurses (Bjørk, Tøien, & http://dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2016.08.5 eISSN: 2357-1330 Selection and peer-review under responsibility of the Organizing Committee 26 Sørensen, 2013), human resource management practitioners (Crouse, Doyle, & Young, 2011)teachers (Lohman, 2009), managers (Ashton, 2004;Billett, 2003) and accountants (Abdul Wahab, Selamat., & Saad, 2012;Hicks, Bagg, Doyle, & Young, 2007). This paper focuses on accountants in public accounting firm since the learning is compulsory for their professional development (Hickset al, 2007; Malaysian Institute of Accountants [MIA], 2011[MIA], , 2014.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate situational inhibitors to informal learning activities amongst accountants in a public accounting firm. A qualitative case study was conducted to develop a greater understanding of the situational aspects that inhibited them from engaging in informal learning activities. Four situational inhibitors emerged from the data analysis. The inhibitors are lack of time, lack of proximity to colleagues' working areas, lack of support from others and structural inhibitor. Theoretical and practical implications of the research as well as suggestions for future research were also discussed.
