Training and the Organizational Environment

Before examining how training is initiated and then organized, it is useful to define what we mean by training and to distinguish it from the closely related concepts of learning,education and development.

Training

A planned and systematic effort to modify or develop knowledge/skill/attitude through learning experience,to achieve effective performance in an activity or range of activities.its purpose in the work situation,is to enable an individual to acquire abilities in order that he or she can perform adequality a given task or job.

Training and the Organizational Environment

Intrinsic job satisfaction may come from performing a task well and from being able to exercise a new repertoire of skills. Extrinsic job satisfaction may be derived from extra earnings accrued through improved job performance and the enhancement of career and promotion prospects both within and outside the organization to which they belong.Benefits for the organization include improved employee work performance and productivity.

The Image of Training

In fact, many who occupy senior and executive positions have publicly endorsed the claims that can be attributed to training and extol the competence and the contribution of their own training departments.

Training Objectives

Once a terminal objective has been set it is usually found that it can be broken down into a number of sub objectives which are called enabling objectives.

The Value of Training Objectives
