1. GROWTH ORIENTATION AND MOTIVATION
How does it differ between the digital learning
and workplace context?
Growth orientation and motivation are crucial in both digital learning
and the working environment, playing a significant role in personal
development. Nonetheless, there are several differences to consider
when translating your growth orientation and motivation from a
learning environment to a working one.
In digital learning, the emphasis lies on acquiring new skills,
knowledge, and personal development driven by individual
interests and career aspirations. In contrast, in work settings,
the focus shifts to enhancing skills directly relevant to your role,
contributing to organizational growth, and advancing your
career progression.
Self-directed learning often centers on continuous learning
aligned with a specific field of interest or industry trends,
encompassing broader applications. Meanwhile, workplace
growth typically prioritizes practical competencies directly
applicable to your position or tailored to meet the specific
needs of your company or industry.
Self-directed learning relies heavily on personal motivation,
dedication, and hard work for progress. In a work environment,
growth opportunities are intertwined with colleagues and team
dynamics. Leveraging collaboration and synergies among team
members can significantly enhance your growth potential by
maximizing the developmental process.
