  text: "Michael Goller gives a structured overview of the current discourses of human
    agency in relation to professional learning and development. Based on this discussion,
    the author develops a theoretical framework including human agency as an individual
    feature (i. e., a disposition) as well as a set of self-initiated and goal-directed
    behaviours that are assumed to affect employees’ learning and development (e.
    g., crafting of new work experiences). He then further specifies this theoretical
    framework and investigates it empirically in the domain of geriatric care nursing.
    Based on the findings of the three empirical studies conducted, the author discusses
    the relevance of human agency for the development of professional expertise of
    geriatric care nurses.\r\n\r\nThe work received the American Educational Research
    Association (AERA) Workplace Learning SIG 2017 Dissertation of the Year Award."
