| Abstract: | On the basis of an interpretative case study, the authors explore the learning implications of introducing First Class in a social services department. The investigated case illustrates how earning efforts easily result in "vicious circles"; the more learning is sought after, the more solid are the barriers to learning. In this case, the existence of certain organizational virtues -- the learning organization and the notion of the professional social worker -- were observed to have negative learning implications. |
