Keywords:

This study comprehensively investigates the strategic role of training and development (T&D) programs in fostering learning organizations and driving sustainable performance through a literature review. In today's dynamic business environment, organizations are constantly pressured to adapt and innovate. Through a review of relevant literature, this study synthesizes findings on how T&D influences information needs, information-seeking behaviors, sources of informal interaction (such as information grounds), and knowledge-sharing activities that contribute to professional growth. Findings from various studies indicate distinct information needs between early-career and more experienced individuals, and how information is acquired from diverse sources like the Internet, colleagues, media, and formal institutions. The concept of information grounds, as spaces for interaction and knowledge sharing, is shaped by the interplay of place, content, and social connections, with information sharing emerging as a vital element within these contexts. Based on this synthesis, the study proposes a conceptual model illustrating the relationship between information behaviors and ongoing professional development within organizational contexts. Ultimately, this research emphasizes that strategic investment in T&D fosters a dynamic learning ecosystem, leading to enhanced innovation, optimized decision-making, and sustained performance, offering practical implications for HR development and organizational leaders.Downloads
