The Pygmalion effect reconsidered: its implications for education, training and workplace learning
Abstract
Reviews the literature on the Pygmalion effect and in particular its implications for workplace learning and training. The article considers the wide ranging debate within the education literature on the value of the Pygmalion concept and also considers research conducted in training and workplace settings. The implications of the concept for learning design, trainee self‐esteem, trainer behaviours, and workplace learning are considered.
