McGehee and Thayer’s model identifies components of job performance that are relevant to the organization's goals and how training would benefit the overall organization. The three components of the O-t-p needs analysis model are organization analysis, operations analysis, and person analysis. The organization analysis identifies where training is needed within the organization, determines whether the organization’s goals are being met, and estimates the transfer of the training. Operations analysis identifies the content of the training itself, describes …show more content…
The goal in behavior modeling is that the trainee observes someone else modeling a particular behavior, retains the information, and then reproduces the modeled behavior. When the behavior modeled is a desired behavior for the job, the trainee is shown a positive example. In attempts to generalize behavior, the trainee is shown positive and negative examples. Behavior modeling is effective in both declarative and procedural knowledge. Declarative knowledge refers to the factual information and teaches trainees what something is. Procedural knowledge is how to perform the desired skills and complete specific …show more content…
The Solomon 4-Group Design consists of a before and after measurement with three separate control groups. There is a control group which receives no pretest or training, one which receives only a pretest, and one which receives only training. Having three control groups receiving different treatments, allows a researcher to analyze both the effects of testing, and the effects of the testing with training, which also increases the ability to generalize. This design increases the strength of inferences made about testing, training, and the interaction of testing and training.
Organizations can incorporate these inferences into their succession planning when creating goals and objectives. The purpose of succession planning is to identify the top talent within the organization, develop pools of talents for important positions, and to create development plans for the higher ranked employees of the
