Abstract

In today's global and dynamic environment, the increasing pressure of internal and external change, the intensified competitiveness and the rapid technological advances lead many organisations, both public and private, to use training and development activities to remain competitive. The current study explores how employees? learning and development orientation in the public sector is affected by organisational factors i.e. perceived organisational support (POS) and perceived supervisor support (PSS). The responses received from a sample of 490 employees working for public organisations in Greece indicated that employees? motivation to learn and develop are significantly and positively related both to perceived organisational support and perceived supervisor support. Furthermore, the above relationships are found to be mediated by employees? level of organisational citizenship behavior (OCB).
