Social learning and organisation development: How Curatr influences employee engagement

Abstract

Social learning through MOOCs and SPOCs to realise organisation development is becoming more popular in organisations. Hence there was no research done to this topic before. Therefore this research gives insight in the relationship between social learning through Curatr and employee engagement leading to organisation development. According to former theories this relationship might go through knowledge sharing or through implementing actions. To establish the above, a survey was held within a Dutch retail organisation and an international accountancy cooperation. Next to this, three interviews were hold, one at each organisation and one with a Curatr expert, to gain more insight in the survey results. The results made clear there is a relationship between social learning through Curatr and employee engagement leading to organisation development and that this relationship is partly going through knowledge sharing. Hence, more research is needed to gain a complete insight in this relationship.
