He shows that employees are not solely rational decision-makers and that training decisions are affected by different educational motivation and investment risks. In particular, lacking confidence in own training competence can be a handicap for future training participation. Still, supervisors can help to strengthen confidence levels, but in many cases they are not trained to provide emotional support and may run the risk of following stereotypes and prejudices about older and less educated employees. As a consequence, both groups might not get the support they need for taking part in further training.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-04-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783531178578\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-531-92870-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 135\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47671525638284,"sku":"9783531178578","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783531178578.jpg?v=1776517660","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783531178578","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
