The Potential of Organizational Pedagogy in Context of Diversity: Organizational Learning as Organizational Development and Research Focus

Abstract

While organizational sociology or psychology are well established (sub-)disciplines, organizational pedagogy is a relatively “young” discipline within the educational science. And yet it offers some specify possibilities of research and organizational development. With a focus of learning and the question how organizations learn, organizational pedagogy provides some interesting ways of looking into diversity within organization. In context of diversity learning addresses organizational structures as well organizational culture and reflects how differences and equality within organizations are interpreted and handled. In my research I show some theoretical basics of organizational pedagogy as well as examples of organizational pedagogy research projects that address diversity with different approaches.
