This study asks what are the important sources of learning available to managers and professionals in organizations? What is actually learned (content)? What and how much is learned from supervisors, peers, and subordinates? Retrospective data collected from men and women in the early to middle career stages indicate that the values of certain learning sources depend on the content of learning and relate to age and a number of situational factors. Also, other individuals with whom the learners typically interact were rated as the most valued learning sources.
