| dc.description.abstract | The objectives of this research were (1) clarify the overall characteristics and
structural hierarchy of lifelong learning needs among financial system practitioners in
Wuhan; (2) identify patterns of differences in lifelong learning needs across different
groups; (3) reveal core driving factors of lifelong learning needs and supply-demand
mismatch issues; (4) propose optimization strategies for a lifelong learning system
tailored to Wuhan's regional financial development.
This study employed a mixed-method research approach combining
questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews, with employees from six financial
institutions in Wuhan City as the research subjects. A total of 376 valid questionnaires
were collected, and data analysis was conducted using computer software.
The study reveals four key findings: (1) Professionals exhibit dual core
characteristics in lifelong learning needs, focusing on "fintech integration and
regulatory compliance," with a strong preference for online modular courses; (2)
Learning demands show significant variations across institutions, age groups, and job
roles—banks prioritize compliance, financing firms emphasize technology and skills,
young professionals value digital learning, while seasoned professionals rely on
mentorship guidance; (3) Five dimensions—compliance, task requirements,
organizational structures, individual needs, and regional policies—collectively drive
learning demands, with compliance being the most influential factor; (4) Current
learning offerings suffer from three major gaps in content, format, and resources, while
regional policy implementation faces prominent "last-mile" challenges. Based on these
findings, the study proposes targeted optimization recommendations at three levels—
government, institutions, and practitioners—through stratified categorization and
policy implementation, providing empirical support for talent development in Wuhan's
efforts to establish itself as a national financial hub. | en_US |
