Abstract
The article deals with the organization of learning programs of employees in relation to the work that is performed. Its aim is to gather empirical evidence for
an actor network model, which is presented as an analytical framework for learning-program creation in the work context.This process is understood as combining various types of learning situations into a coherent set of learning activities by a network of actors. After an outline of the actor network model, the
empirical basis for five of its core assumptions is investigated: 1) learning programs in different work contexts; 2) views and interests of actors; 3) social interactions among actors; 4) learning programs as combinations of learning situations; and 5) the typological approach. Finally, conclusions are drawn
about the empirical basis of the actor network model and about promising directions for further research.
