Abstract	Purpose: This study aims to investigate which "a priori" factors documented in the literature and new factors that influence employees' self-regulated microlearning behavior and the utilization of internal microlearning platforms in organizations. Design/methodology/approach: The authors conducted a single-case study on a Swedish retail group that had developed an internally-built microlearning platform, collecting data through semistructured interviews with 13 informants. Findings: The authors have identified eight factors that affect employees' self-regulated microlearning processes. In addition to confirming the presence of five factors from previous research, the authors have discovered the influence of three new factors on self-regulated learning. These new factors are prioritization, other learning platforms and relevant content. Originality/value: The study conducted a unique investigation into the factors influencing employees' self-regulated learning strategies and their impact on the utilization of microlearning platforms. Previous research has given limited attention to this research topic and associated questions, making this study a valuable contribution. (As Provided).
