建议编号：0323254迪贝洛研究所：纽约州立大学研究生院国家科学基金会计划：创新与组织变革主要调查者：迪贝洛，莉亚标题：迎接需要在高薪标准下表现的低薪工人的业绩挑战：在工作中设计积极的学习干预措施本研究研究组织变革干预措施的改进-操作模拟和高强度的培训练习-寻找更有效的方法来“重新掌握”低薪工人的技能，以适应竞争环境的变化。它侧重于低工资、低教育程度的服务业工人在成人认知和成人学习方面的基本问题，在这些工作岗位上，“学校学习”和持续学习新技能之间存在很大差异。组织合作伙伴是一家支持生命科学研究的商业机构。这项研究的更广泛的影响对于更好地管理快速的认知变化以支持不断变化的组织目标具有潜在的重要意义，特别是在低薪员工中。在提高低技能支持人员的贡献和劳动力潜力方面有相当大的潜力，特别是在科学、工程和医疗领域。

AbstractProposal No: 0323254 DiBello Institution: CUNY Graduate School NSF Program: Innovation & Organizational ChangePrincipal Investigator: DiBello ,Lia Title: Meeting the performance challenge of low wage workers who need to perform at a high wage standard: engineering aggressive learning interventions into work This research studies improvements in organizational change interventions --- operational simulations and intense training exercises --- to find more effective ways of "re-skilling" low wage workers to adapt to changes in the competitive environment. It focuses on fundamental issues in adult cognition and adult learning for low wage, low education workers in service jobs, where there is a large difference between "school learning" and ongoing learning of new skills in the workplace. The organizational partner is a commercial facility that supports life sciences research. The broader impact of this research is potentially great importance to better manage rapid cognitive change in support of changing organizational goals, especially among low-wage workers. There is considerable potential for improving the contribution and labor force potential of low-skill support workers, particularly in scientific, engineering and medical areas.
