Factors
Influencing Training and Development
Introduction
Training
is the process of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for doing
a particular job. It involves the development of skills that are usually
necessary to perform a specific job. Its purpose is to bring about positive
changes in – (i) knowledge, (ii) skills, and (iii) attitudes of the employees.
Development is concerned with the growth of employees in all respects
Organizational
Change
This
is one aspect of training and development that influences and is influenced by
it. The primary goal of training and development is to anticipate and respond
to change in a proactive manner. Individuals, groups, and the entire
organization are all affected by change, which entails transitioning from one
state to another
Top
Management Support
The
most basic necessity for training and development is top management support.
Even the most expertly crafted training program can fail if the senior
executives do not actively support it. Top management's support for training
must go beyond a policy statement. It must incorporate their active engagement
and involvement in the development process
Commitment
for Managers from All Levels
Senior
executives should never believe that training programs are just for their
direct junior management. Rather, everyone from the top manager to the
first-line supervisor should be included. In fact, top management should be
trained first to set an example of their dedication to the ongoing growth of
all employees in the firm
Technological
Advanced
Technological
advancements, particularly the computer and the internet, are having a
significant impact on how individuals perform their jobs. For increased
flexibility of education, computer-based training makes advantage of the
computer's speed, memory, and data manipulation capabilities
Organizational
Complexity
Because
of the weakened traditional chain of command and the rapid changes in
technology, products, systems, and techniques, the degree of complexity in
modern businesses has increased. This has had an impact on corporate training
and development programs. Individual and group activities have expanded and
enhanced in modern firms, and employees are now executing more complex jobs
than before
Conclusion
This
implies that a variety of elements influence training success, including
motivation, attitude, management and peer support, training style and setting,
trainer openness, job-related characteristics, self-efficacy, and basic ability,
among others.
