  8. Your Turn …Ways to Deliver Information

  9. Training Transfer • On-the-job use of knowledge, skills, and behaviors learned in training. • What types of training have high transfer rates?

  10. Social Support Enhances Training Transfer Supportive behaviors on the part of managers and peers to trained ees to encourage retention and transfer of training, thereby enhancing the returns to training investments.

  11. Your Turn … (adapted from text) Consider your current job or a job you recently held. What types of training did you receive for the job? What types of training should you have received and why? What types of social support did you receive or should you have received?

  12. Training Evaluation Methods • Basic assessment. Example: measuring the satisfaction of training participants at the end of training. • Quasi-experimental designs – experiments in real firms using real training programs. Rigor of design is better than basic but less than a true experiment.

  13. Example Quasi-Experimental Evaluation Design Workers from Plant “A” (time 1) Workers from Plant “A” (time 2) TRAINING SESSION Workers from Plant “B” (time 1) Workers from Plant “B” (time 2) NO TRAINING Measure productivity of both groups at both time periods, and compare results.

  14. Trends in Training • Performance “consultants” – trainers who assess business needs prior to delivering training. • Technology: about 1/3 of training is delivered using technology, primarily on-line training.

  15. Ee Development The combination of formal education, job experiences, relationships, and assessment of personality and abilities, to help ees prepare for the future of their careers.

  16. Assessment Collecting information and providing feedback to ees about their behavior, communication style, or skills. • Subordinate and self appraisals • Assessment centers (also a selection method) • Personality inventories
