Download or read book The Effects of Training Design Individual Characteristics and Work Environment on Transfer of Training written by Raquel Velada and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aims to gain insight into some of the factors that determine the transfer of training to the work context. The present research examined the relationship between three types of predictors on transfer of training, including training design, individual characteristics and work environment. Data was collected at two points in time from 182 employees in a large grocery organization. The results indicated that transfer design, performance self-efficacy, training retention and performance feedback were significantly related to transfer of training. Contrary to expectation, supervisory support was not significantly related to transfer of training. These results suggest that in order to enhance transfer of training, organizations should design training that gives trainees the ability to transfer learning, reinforces the trainee's beliefs in their ability to transfer, ensures the training content is retained over time and provides appropriate feedback regarding employee job performance following training activities.

Download or read book The Transfer of Training Into the Work Environment a Socio cultural Approach written by Marco Köster and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2002 in the subject Sociology - Work, Profession, Education, Organisation, grade: Grade A, University of Manchester (Institute for Development Policy and Management), language: English, abstract: In theoretical and empirical research the elusive phenomenon of training transfer has widely been neglected. Attempts to grasp the many facets of the transfer of training in a comprehensive theory have been few. Transfer has traditionally been regarded as a training product to be measured at a fixed point of time after the course. Alternatively, some authors suggests a process approach to transfer and argue that transfer of training is a complex and discontinuous process of successful skill application and recurring setbacks, of achieved behaviour change and frequent relapse to old habits. Consequently, the identification and measurement of transfer delivers a comprehensive picture only when it sets in at various points of time after the training. Throughout the transfer process the trainee is exposed to factors inhibiting or facilitating the transfer of training to the workplace. The influences of transfer facilitators and transfer barriers are outlined in this text.

Download or read book Supporting Workplace Learning written by Rob F. Poell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s, the workplace was rediscovered as a rich source of learning. The issue of workplace learning has since received increasing attention from academics and practitioners alike but is still under-researched empirically. This book brings together a range of state-of-the-art research papers addressing interventions to support learning in the workplace. The authors are experienced international scholars who have an interest in making HRD and workplace learning practices more evidence-based through practical relevant research. Although workplace learning is largely an autonomous process, many organizations want to manage it as part of their broader HRD strategy. There are limits, however, to the extent to which the complex dynamics of learning in the workplace can be guided in pre-determined desirable directions. This tension between the possible strengths of workplace learning and the limits of managing it is at the heart of this volume. The book is broken into three sections. The first section deals with workplace learning interventions, including HRD practitioners’ strategies, training and development activities, and e-learning programs. The second section investigates the impact of social support, or lack thereof, in workplace learning, such as mentoring, coaching, and socialization practices. The third section addresses collective learning in the workplace, looking at teams, knowledge productivity, and collaborative capability building.

This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.1 Background Every organization is facing challenges in the market. Growing competition opened the market, increases preparedness and dynamism of the environment. Human resource is an important aspect to meet such challenges. Competent and skillful human resource can only help to increase the performance of the organization as per the need of the market. Training is an important tool to prepare HR for wining the challenging market and grabbing opportunities of the market by providing skill and knowledge. Training helps to increase the skill and competencies of the staff. Training refers to the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competencies as a results of teaching practical knowledge that relate to specific useful competencies (Reilly, 1979). The current commercially competitive environment compels senior management into addressing both positive and negative aspects of their organizations in attempts to excel in all areas. Organizations are constantly engaged in activities aimed at increasing access to resources, including manpower, material, money and methods, that will allow them to compete successfully in a changing environment, and to plan and design activities to accomplish the perceived goals of the organization. Growing organizations constantly seek to improve program implementation, to develop new resources or address that needs in the community. There is a need for a systematic process for creating and sustaining improved performance that can react rapidly to changes in the environment. Many organizations undertake periodic assessment of their performance to ensure effective and efficient utilization of resources, to be in line with advances in technology, to meet societal needs and to ensure achievement of the organization's goals. Management experts have developed various tools that help organizations to evaluate their performance in their functional areas with respect to time, and benchmark their performance with industry standards.
