It is proved that the specific relationship has many different dimensions, a fact, however, that it can be explained if taking into consideration the importance of learning for the development of a variety of social, political and economic activities. The importance of learning for human development has been strongly emphasized in the existing literature. In accordance with Kail and Cavanaugh (2008) the involvement of learning in human development is identified in the learning theory – where reference is made to the role of learning in human behavior. In the context of this theory the learning process is mainly based on the social life of people, meaning that people are likely to imitate the behavior of other people within the particular social environment. The specific theory also promotes the view that infants have an increased cognitive ability, being ready to learn from their environment. However, there is also the opposite view that learning too early is not feasible, since the learning process is depended on the experiences of each person (Kail and Cavanaugh 2008). The learning theory, as explained above, is based on the rule that learning can strongly affect human development. The intervention of learning in human development can be achieved through the following ways: ‘a) by promoting specific modes of behaviors/ responses. in this way, learning becomes an automated process, no as of the process followed as, mainly, for the example used, b) or as imitating the behavior of other people or observing events developed in the social environment. the learning process developed in this way is characterized as ‘imitation or observational learning’ (Kail and Cavanaugh, p.12). The above views can lead to the assumption that learning is a critical factor for human behavior. in terms of human development, learning can act either directly or indirectly. In its first mode, direct involvement of learning in human development would have the following form: a person acquires the knowledge necessary (meaning the laws supporting the claims of employees in the workplace) for securing his interests in the specific organization. From a different point of view, Gagne (1968) notes that learning is a key factor for human development under the following terms: human behavior is related to change. in case of suggestions for changes in the particular organization it is possible that certain of these changes are rejected, probably under the influence of people with contradictory interests. If these changes aim to promote human development, then a relationship is established between human development (employee development) and human behavior (Gagne 1968). In practice, this means that human behavior can affect human development – for instance, when an employee refuses to participate in a training programme funded by his employer. In the above case, human behavior prevents learning, a fact that also affects the personal development of the employee involved. The relationship between human development and learning can be identified at the following point: teachers at all levels of education need to meet specific criteria in order to be able to respond to the demands of their position. In accordance with Holmes Group (2007) one of the key characteristics of successful teachers is their ability to understand the learning potentials of learners.
