CHAPTER 2: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF
STUDY
21
HISTORY OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT:
Training and development in HRM are two different activities which goes hand-in-hand
for the overall betterment of the employee. The short term and reactive process is training
which is used for operational purpose while the long term process of development is for
executive purpose. The aim of training & development is improvement of required skills
in the employee whereas aim of development is to improve overall personality of the
employee. Management takes the initiative to choose right training methods to fill up the
22
skill gap in the organization; the development initiative is generally taken with the
objective of future succession planning.
Lussier - “Training is a process of acquiring the skills necessary to perform a job and
development is the ability to perform both present and future jobs”.
Kirkpatrick - “Training refers to the teaching of specific knowledge and skills required
on the individual’s present job. The term development refers to the growth of the individual
and preparations for higher-level jobs”.
At the following levels, the necessity for training will be determined in accordance with
the requirements;
The aforementioned trainings will be chosen based on the knowledge, competence, and
awareness required by the company, department, or employee in accordance with the
allocated authority and responsibility.
23
Depending on the availability of the necessary resources, any training demands that cannot
be met in a given year will be addressed in the next year.
As well as providing safety training to all new hires, the company also provide refresher
training to all current staff.
2. On-The-Job Training:
Employees who are undergoing on-the-job training participate in actual work tasks
and gain knowledge through doing. It enhances team cohesion and offers quick
learning opportunities. Some employees, however, find this training method to be
extremely stressful and struggle to learn or perform well at work.
3. Internal Training:
Internal training and development overcome the significant obstacles that hinder
external training. Internal training shows that the organization's culture is well-
understood. The internal training makes use of problems, difficulties, and instances
from everyday life that participants deal with on the job. Successful internal training
pinpoints the precise information and abilities that participants require to be
successful in their roles. Additionally, it gets workers ready to succeed in their next
24
position. Internal training is delivered using terms and language that participants
are familiar with and find relatable. Internal training helps personnel improve their
abilities and solidify their subject-matter understanding.
4. External training:
Experts or decision-makers from outside the firm undertake external training. An
industry expert who can discuss the most recent trends to help teams keep ahead of
rivals may be brought in to provide more knowledge on a product or feature, or
they may be someone the firm already has a relationship with, such as a supplier.
External events can also be used for this kind of teaching.
External training sessions dispel groupthink and present an alternative viewpoint
on how things are done. They assist businesses in shedding their "tradition is the
only way" mindset and adopting a fresh perspective. This is crucial for teams that
wish to distinguish out in rapidly evolving fields like HR or marketing. Because the
team and organisation are learning from someone whose job it is to keep up with
industry developments, their knowledge is also future-proofed.
A. INDUCTION TRAINING:
On the first day of employment, every new employee must go through a
safety orientation before moving on to the departments to learn about the
roles each department plays in the company. HR department will conduct a
safety test of the new candidate as per instructions given by safety
department. The new candidate requires minimum 60% marks to get placed
in the respective department.
If the candidate is unsuccessful, training will be given again and a new test
will be administered. After the candidate has completed the induction
25
process, feedback is obtained before placing him or her in the appropriate
department.
C. EXTERNAL TRAINING:
With the appropriate HOD and HOD of HR's agreement, the staff will be
supported for external training. If the chosen person is unable to work, the
relevant HOD will recommend another employee. Following the external
training programme, the employee will provide feedback to HR and present
what they learned.
D. IN-HOUSE TRAINING:
The selection of the faculty will be based on their qualifications,
qualifications, and knowledge. All participants will be asked for feedback
when the training is over, and any negative comments will result in
corrective action being implemented. Reports are produced for each quarter
to show the status of training achieved relative to training planned.
26
CHAPTER 3: LITERATURE REVIEW
27
Muhammad Zahid Iqbal et.al (2011) has carried out a study at three public sector training
institutions to empirically test the predicted relationship between the training
characteristics and formative training evaluation under the Kirkpatrick model (reaction
and learning). This study explains the causal linkage between components of formative
training evaluation. The mediating role of reaction in the relationships between training
characteristics and learning was also investigated. The principle finding revealed that a set
of seven training characteristics explained 59% and 61% variance in reaction and learning.
All training characteristics were found to have a positive impact on reaction and learning
except training contents.
Eugen Rotarescu (2010) presented in a succinct and applicative manner several decision
making processes and the methods applied to human resources training and development
in environment with risk factors. The decisions have been optimized by the human resource
training and development by decision matrix and decision tree method. Both methods
compute the alternatives based on estimated monetary value. Finally the decision matrix
and decision tree analyses represent two viable, scalable and easily applicable framework
analyses for selecting the optimum course of action regarding the training and development
of HR. Both analyses generate the same solution and rely on the accuracy of the EMV
method calculated for each course alternative action. Of these two methods the selected
decision methods depends on the circumstances, the complexity of the situation and the
preference of the decision matters.
Pilar Pineda in the year (2010) says that training is a key strategy for human resources
development and in achieving organizational objectives. Organizations and public
authorities invest large amounts of resources in training, but rarely have the data to show
the results of that investment. Only a few organizations evaluate training in depth due to
the difficulty involved and the lack of valid instruments and viable models. The paper’s
approach is theoretical, and the methodology used involves a review of previous evaluation
models and their improvement by comparing their application in practice. The author has
also applied the model successfully in several public and private organizations, in industry
and in the services sector, which demonstrates its usefulness and viability in evaluating the
results of training. Therefore, this evaluation model has interesting and practical
28
implications, as a useful tool for training managers in evaluating training results, as well
as providing a global simplified approach to the complex evaluation function. The
originality of this evaluation model lies in its focus on a key and novel aspect – i.e. the
pedagogical dimension, providing an integrated tool that can be easily adapted to any
organization.
Cary Cherniss et.al. In the year (2010) have evaluated the effectiveness of a leadership
development program based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
principles. The program utilized process-designed training groups to help participants
develop emotional and social competence. The study involved 162 mangers from nine
different companies in a random assignment control group design. There were nine
different groups with nine managers in each group. Each group was required to follow the
identical process. His results indicated that after two years the intervention group had
improved more than the controls on all Emotional Competence Inventory variables. The
paper offers recommendations for future research on the mechanisms underlying the
process-designed group strategy and contextual factors that optimize results. This paper
describes a leadership development strategy that appears to be more economical and
consistent in its delivery than traditional approaches such as workshops or executive
coaching. Although ISO principles are utilized widely in the business world, this is the first
study that has used this approach in the design and delivery of management development.
Thomas Andersson in the year (2010) has reviewed the paper “Experiences from
manager’s personal development training”
to investigate the struggles of managerial identity in relation to the process of
becoming/being a manager, and the personal conflicts involved within this process.
Management training tends to be based on the idea that management concerns the
acquisition of competencies, techniques and personal awareness, while managerial practice
is more fluid and contextually based. There is a challenge for organizers of all types of
management training to bridge gap between a fixed idea of what is to be a manger and how
management is actually practiced. The methodology used in this paper is a qualitative
longitudinal project. The longitudinal and in-depth qualitative approach facilities an
important contribution to understanding issues in developing a managerial ability. On the
29
whole 62 interviews and eight half-day observations were conducted. The study focuses
on only five managers in two organizations. This small sample limits the generalisability
of the research. Finally the study puts emphasis on the role of management training in
providing templates for “how to be a manger”, but it also illustrates the double-edged and
complex role played by context in managerial being and becoming.
David Mc Guire and Mammed Bagher in (2010) has reviewed the literature on diversity
training and examine the effect of power, privilege and politics of diversity in
organizations. This is a conceptual paper examining the arguments in favor and against
diversity training in organizations. It identifies the presence of dominant groups in society
leading to the marginalization The International Journal Of Management 25 Vol 3 Issue 1
( January, 2014) www.theijm.com and oppression of minority diverse groups. Diversity
training has a significant role to play in fostering greater equality, inclusion and fairness in
the workplace. Critically, it can help diverse individuals and communities recoup important
aspects of their identity and enjoy productive fulfilling careers in the workplace. Diversity
fosters a new outlook in organizations through capitalizing on the perspectives of all
employees and giving voice to silenced minorities. It promotes greater understanding,
communication and the integration of different worldviews in decision making and
problem solving. To embed diversity effectively in organizations requires leadership by
senior management and a realization that diversity will improve performance metrics,
rather than simply being a socially desirable ideal. It involves recognizing that promoting
diversity and an inclusive culture is a shared responsibility and is not solely the preserve
of diversity advocates or HR departments. Finally the author says that as globalization
effects increase and the participation of diverse groups in the workplace grows, there is a
clear need in the field of Human Resource Development (HRD) to commit to promoting
the cause of diversity. Diversity needs to become a priority item on the HRD agenda
through embedding diversity into the curricula of HRD programs.
Franco Gandolfi in the year (2009) has analyzed that downsizing as a restructuring
strategy which has been actively implemented for the last three decades. While employee
reductions were utilized mainly in response to crises prior to the mid-1980s, downsizing
developed into a fully-fledged managerial strategy for tens of thousands of companies in
30
the mid to late 1980s. Since then, downsizing has transformed the international corporate
landscape and affected the lives of hundreds of millions of individuals around the world.
While the overall effects of downsizing have been widely reported, many misconceptions
surrounding the concept of downsizing have remained. This conceptual paper focuses on
the role of training and development (T&D) during the downsizing process. In particular,
the research depicts the current body of literature associated with the function of HR and
its plans, programs, and policies that firms adopting downsizing must provide to their
surviving workforces. Finally, this paper offers concluding comments regarding effective
downsizing practices that have emerged in the literature.
Cody Cox. B in the year (2009) has reviewed that the moderating effect of individual
differences in the relationship between framing training was examined for technical and
nontechnical content areas. Participants were 109 working age adults (Mean age 38.14
years, SD 12.20 years). Self-efficacy and goal orientation were examined as moderators.
Results showed a three-way interaction between performance orientation (a dimension of
goal orientation reflecting the desire to demonstrate competence in an achievement
setting), age, and frame for technical training and a three-way interaction between
performance orientation, self-efficacy, and frame for nontechnical training. Implications
for future research as well as framing training to enhance interest are discussed.
D.A. Olaniyan and Lucas. B. Ojo in the year (2008) says that the need for improved
productivity has become universally accepted and that it depends on efficient and effective
training is not less apparent. It has further become necessary in view of advancement in the
modern world to invest in training. Thus the role played by staff training and development
can no longer be over-emphasized. Staff training and development are based on the premise
that staff skills need to be improved for organizations to grow. Training is a systematic
development of knowledge, skills and attitudes required by employees to perform
adequately on a given task or job. New entrants into organizations have various skills,
though not all are relevant to organizational needs. Training and development are required
for staff to enable them work towards taking the organization to its expected destination.
However, for any organization to succeed, training and re-training of all staff in the form
of workshops, conferences and seminars should be vigorously pursued and made
31
compulsory. Finally this paper addresses that it is against the backdrop of the relative
importance of staff training and development in relation to organizational effectiveness.
Anupama Narayan and Debra Steele-Johnson in the year (2007) and some of the
authors have said that in today’s organizations, rapid changes, an increasingly diverse
workforce and competitive business environments characterize the work (Cascio, 1998;
Goldstein, 2002; Smith et. al 1997). Employee’s development, and more specifically
training, can help individuals and organizations work more effectively adapt to the
changing environment and achieve individual and organizational goals (Kinsley, 1998).
The participants were 174 undergraduate students from a Midwestern university.
Participation in the study was voluntary and participants received extra credit points that
could be applied to their course grade. So total 165 participants were taken for the analysis
(men, and = 71; women, and = 94) with a mean age of 20.5 years (SD = 3.14). Hence,
results from regression analysis indicated that mastery-approach goal orientation had a
beneficial effect on training attitudes of men but not for women.
Shreya Sarkar-Barney in the year (2004) has evaluated the focus of global training has
primarily been on preparing employees to work effectively in other cultures, such as in
expatriate training, acculturation training, and training for technology transfer. One issue
that has been ignored is the implication of using training systems that are developed in a
specific context and then deployed globally. This paper proposes a framework to show the
influence of culture on are aspect of training effectiveness, the transfer of newly learned
skills to the job. Specific relationships are proposed, using Baldwin and Ford’s (1988)
transfer of the training framework as a guide, and also by synthesizing findings from areas
such as cross-cultural psychology, Human resource management, and education and
Technology management. Schwartz’s scale has been used for the study. The population of
the study is (N= 44,000) from 54 nations. Finally, the goal of this paper was to present a
framework that considers the influence of culture on Transfer of Training (TOT). Finally
he says that by combining information about a country’s culture value score and the
relationships proposed by the framework, practitioners can make more informed decisions
about ways of adapting their training systems to meet the needs of any particular culture in
which training is to be conducted.
32
Martin Mulder in the year (2001) has contributed a model of evaluation of customer
satisfaction about training programs. The model is developed and implemented for an
association of training companies. The evaluation has been conducted by an independent
organization to enhance the trustworthiness of the evaluation results. The model is aimed
at determining the quality of training programs as perceived by project managers from the
organizations that purchased in company training programs from the train companies.
Reliability research showed satisfying results. The model is based on the methodology in
effectiveness research, and the data were used to test a model of training effectiveness. The
results show that this model is confirmed for two categories of projects: projects that were
aimed at achieving learning results and changed job performance respectively. The model
does not fit for projects aimed at supporting organizational change. Finally the author says
that new advancements in human resource development should be included in evaluating
the effectiveness of training programs.
John Wilson. P and Steven Western in the year (2000) have reviewed that in this article
the term “performance appraisal” generally meant for the annual interview that takes place
between the manager and the employee to discuss the individual's job performance during
the previous 12 months and the compilation of action plans to encourage improved
performance. Performance appraisal is part of the larger process of performance
management. Marchington and Wilkinson in the year 1996 describe it as a cyclical process:
determining performance expectations; supporting performance; reviewing and appraising
performance; and finally managing performance standards. The research was conducted in
a medium-sized independent hospital which is part of a large health care company that has
26 acute hospitals and a number of psychiatric units throughout the UK. A variety of
research methods were used, including a questionnaire, semi-structured interview and a
review of training records. A questionnaire was sent to 110 members of staff and 74 were
returned. From these a pilot study was then conducted with ten members of staff who were
not to be interviewed in the main survey. The findings indicated that the majority of training
and development plans were directly related to the requirements of the job and only a small
proportion were involved with general personal development. Most plans were related to
short-term job requirements and few were concerned with long term development and
advancement.
33
John Loan-Clarke et.al in the year (1999) has done their research in the topic
“Investment in Management Training and Development by Small Businesses”.
Management Training and Development (MTD) in small businesses is relatively under-
researched and an increased understanding of the factors influencing the purchase of MTD
of small businesses is needed. Hence, a survey of 551 small businesses in the Midlands
region of the UK sought to identify influences on MTD investment and preferred MTD
activities and to establish whether small businesses perceive a link between investment in
MTD and business success. Interviews were also conducted with 12 organizations. Results
show that the organizational characteristics of ownership, size, number of managers and
family management have a significant influence on MTD investment. Out of the sample
organizations, 85 percent considered investment in MTD to be linked to business success
and 80 percent of organizations engaged in some form of MTD. However, promoters of
MTD of small businesses need to recognize that organizations in this sector are not
homogenous and desire customized training.
Premila Seth in the year (1980) has reviewed that development of high quality managerial
manpower in the country is considered essential for copying with the rapidly changing
industrial scene. This has led to expansion in the number of training activities and
institutions. The author feels that it is time that the training and development practitioners
closely examine whether the expansion is matching the qualitative requirements of our
changing environment. The author also feels that is important that the training institutions
recognize the intimate relationship between management training philosophy, principles
and practices for establishing rational, goal – directed development policies, failing which
they may lead to overzealous of training panaceas, preoccupation with routine patterns, and
neglect of overall objectives.
Greenberg, D. H. In the year (1969) has done his research in the topic “Employers and
Manpower Training Programs” and he says that this paper covers system analysis as
applied to manpower programs, with a view towards developing a rational, comprehensive
basis for evaluating ongoing and proposed programs, and providing guidance for the design
of future programs. The memorandum utilizes data collected directly from the personnel
files of 16 companies which hired graduates from four manpower training programs.
34
Jaffee, Cabot. L in the year (1969) has done a detailed summary of the strengths and
weaknesses of candidates in line for promotion can be evaluated to determine the type of
training mutually beneficial to the individual and to the company. Such an approach is said
to be superior to a general course designed to cover broad topics such as communication,
motivation, and leadership in that pertinent information about the trainees available in other
parts of the firm may be overlooked. The author recommends that integrating all available
information about an individual, then giving him differential treatment depending on how
his strengths and weaknesses line up in an efficient way. This approach is said to be
somewhat more expensive, but also more worthwhile and efficient because of its
integrative approach.
Fox, Wayne. L et.al. In the year (1969) has reviewed that assessing the effects of wide
differences in aptitude on the acquisition of military knowledge’s and skills, a sample of
183 Army recruits was divided into three maximally distant aptitude groups on the basis
of their AFQT scores: High aptitude AFQT 90-99, Middle aptitude AFQT 45-55, Low
aptitude AFQT 10-21. Each recruit was individually trained to a performance criterion in
differing combinations of a battery of eight tasks representative of Army training. A variety
of supplementary psychometric, scholastic achievement, and BCT attainment data were
analyzed. The results were consistent in demonstrating large differences related to aptitude.
As groups, high aptitude individuals excelled, low aptitude individuals did poorly, and
middle aptitude groups fell in an intermediate range of all measures.
Ammerman, Harry. L in the year (1966) has evaluated that research was undertaken to
develop a systematic method that could be used by service school personnel to prepare job-
oriented training objectives for junior officers, primarily in the form of behavioral
statements of student performance expected after training. The procedures developed are
divided into four phases. They are: A- Listing of all tasks for a job; B- Selecting tasks for
some formal training; C- Identifying the knowledge and skills necessary for the selected
training aspects. The procedures included administration of experimental questionnaires,
both by personal interview and by mail, reviews of pertinent directives and publications,
and visits to field units. As the procedures were developed, they were tried out on a sample
officer job (Nike Hercules Fire Control Platoon Leader). In the trial application, a task
35
inventory of 452 items provided the basis for choosing, by use of definite selection rules,
101 job activities (22%) for some formal schooling; of 160 training objectives stated for
those activities, 46 were performed-type objectives for which detailed activity descriptions
were required.
Adeniyi (1995) observed that staff training and development is a work activity that can
make a very significant contribution to the overall effectiveness and profitability of an
organization. He therefore, provides a systematic approach to training which encases the
