Workplace Training (workplace + training)
Selected AbstractsThe relationship between satisfaction with workplace training and overall job satisfactionHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT QUARTERLY, Issue 4 2007Steven W. Schmidt Opportunities for training and development are paramount in decisions regarding employee career choices. Despite the importance, many research studies on job satisfaction do not address satisfaction with workplace training as an element of overall job satisfaction, and many job satisfaction survey instruments do not include a "satisfaction with workplace training" component. This study examined the relationship between satisfaction with employer-provided workplace training and overall job satisfaction of customer contact representatives. A significant relationship was found between job training satisfaction and overall job satisfaction. Components of job training, including time spent in training, training methodologies, and content, were determined to be significant in their relationship to job training satisfaction, and trainees were significantly more satisfied with the training they received when the methodology employed was their preferred one. On the basis of these findings, conclusions were drawn and recommendations for researchers and practitioners in the field of HRD were made. [source] Company training in the United States 1970,2000: what have been the trends over time?INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT, Issue 3 2004David Stern This study uses data from surveys of U.S. employees to determine whether any trends are apparent in the proportion who say they receive some form of training at work. Discussions of economic change in the U.S. and elsewhere have frequently asserted that work has become more intellectually demanding. This implies that training in workplaces should have become more prevalent. However, the survey data do not reveal any overall trend in the prevalence of workplace training between 1970 and 2000. There did appear to be a rising trend for women, evidently reflecting women's increased representation in professional and managerial occupations. Throughout this period, more highly educated workers are more likely to say they receive training at work. [source] Formative Evaluation of Computer-Based Training For a University Financial SystemPERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT QUARTERLY, Issue 1 2002Kathryn M. Fischer ABSTRACT This article describes a formative evaluation of a one-day introductory computer-based training (CBT) course for a new on-line financial and purchasing system at a large public university. The purposes of the evaluation were to evaluate the effectiveness of the training and to identify appropriate revisions and incorporate them into the training program. Participants were 78 university employees who were likely future users of the financial and purchasing system. The mean score on an on-line performance posttest that simulated real-work tasks was 94%, and the mean on a 40-item knowledge posttest covering the CBT content was 74%. Learner attitudes toward the course were positive, averaging 4.4 on a 5-point scale. Formative evaluation of the program resulted in revisions that had the potential to improve its effectiveness and provided evidence of the value of ongoing formative evaluation of workplace training.
