TRAINING

DEVELOPING& EVALUATING THE TRAINING SYSTEM

I. Training Needs Analysis (TNA)


II. Establishing Goals and Objectives III. Choosing the Best Training Method


IV. Motivating Employees to Attend Training


V. Delivering the Training Program


VI. Ensuring Transfer of Training


VII. Evaluation of Training Result

-the first step in developing an employee training system. The purpose of TNA is to determine the types of training, if any, that are needed in an organization as well as extent to which training is a practical means of achieving an organizations goals.

Training Needs Analysis (TNA)

THE TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS PROCESS

1. ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS


2. TASK ANALYSIS


3. PERSON ANALYSIS

-the process of determining the organizational factors that will either facilitate or inhibit training effectiveness.

Organizational Analysis

-the process of identifying the tasks performed by each employee, the conditions under which these tasks are performed and the competencies (knowledge, skills, abilities) needed to perform the job under identified conditions.

Task Analysis

-the process of identifying the employees who need training and determining the areas in which each individual employee needs to be trained. It is based on the recognition that not every employee needs further training for every task performed.

Person Analysis

person analysis uses:

1. Performance Appraisal Score


2. Surveys


3. Interviews


4. Skill test


5. Knowledge test


6. Critical Incidents

- a rating representing some aspect of an employee’s work performance

Performance Appraisal Score

- questionnaires asking employees about the areas in which they feel they need training

Surveys

- usually done with a selected number of employees. It can yield more in-depth answers to questions about training needs as it reveals employee feelings and attitude more clearly

Interviews

- a test that measures an employee’s level of some job related skill.

Skill Test

- A test that measures the level of an employee’s knowledge about a job-related topic.

Knowledge Test

– a relatively easy to use method for determining training needs. Critical incidents are sorted into dimensions and separated into examples of good and poor performance. Dimensions with most number of poor performance example is then the area that calls for a training.

1.Content Validity


2. Employee Reaction


3. Employee Learning


4. Application of Training


5. Business Impact


6. Return of Investment

– comparing training content with the knowledge, skills and abilities required to perform a job.

Content Validity

– a method of evaluating training in which employees are asked their opinions of a training program

Employee Reactions

– evaluating the effectiveness of the training program by measuring how much employees learned from it

Employee Learning

– determining the extent to which employees apply the material taught in a training program.

Application of Training

- a method of evaluating the effectiveness of training by determining whether the goals of the training were met

Business Impact

- the amount of money the organization makes after subtracting the cost of training or other interventions.

Return of Investment (ROI)

-the forces within a person that cause the arousal, direction, intensity and persistence of goal-directed, voluntary behavior

2. Clayton Paul Alderfer’s ERG Theory


3. Frederick Herzberg’s Motivator-Hygiene (Two-Factor) Theory


4. David McClelland’s Achievement Motivation Theory

- Safe working conditions, adequate pay, job security

Lower-order needs

Hierarchy of Work Motivation

1. Self-Actualization (personal growth, realization of potential)


2. Esteem Needs (titles, status, symbols, promotions)


3. Social/Love/ Belongingness Needs (formal/informal groups


4. Security/ Safety Needs (retirement plans, health insurance, severance pay)


5. Basic Needs (pay)

- An extension of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

Clayton Paul Alderfer’s ERG Theory

3 categories (instead of 5): Clayton Paul Alderfer’s ERG Theory

Existence,


Relatedness and


Growth

- includes all material and physiological desires (e.g., food, water, air, clothing, safety, physical love and affection). This corresponds closely to Maslow's first two levels.

Existence Needs

- encompass social and external esteem; relationships with significant others like family, friends, co-workers and employers. This also means to be recognized and feel secure as part of a group or family. Corresponds to Maslow's third and fourth levels.

Relatedness Needs

- internal esteem and self-actualization; these impel a person to make creative or productive effects on himself and the environment (e.g., to progress toward one's ideal self). Maslow's fourth and fifth levels. This includes desires to be creative and productive, and to complete meaningful tasks.

Growth Needs

- Related to Maslow’s but specific to how individuals are motivated in the workplace


- Meeting the lower level needs (hygiene factors) would not motivate them to exert effort, but would prevent them from being dissatisfied

Frederick Herzberg’s Motivator-Hygiene (Two-Factor) Theory

2 basic sets of needs: Frederick Herzberg’s Motivator-Hygiene (Two-Factor) Theory

Hygiene needs


Motivator needs

Hygiene Factors

- Salaries, wages, other benefits


- Company policy & administration


- Good interpersonal relationships


- Quality of supervision


- Job security


- Working conditions


- Work-life balance

Motivator Factors

- Sense of personal achievement


- Status


- Recognition


- Challenging/stimulating work


- Responsibility


- Opportunity for advancement


- Promotion


- Growth

- is a simple technique for moving individuals from hygiene-seeking to motivation seeking levels that leads to self-motivation and productivity

Job Enrichment

Methods of Job Enrichment:

- Direct feedback (timely & direct performance evaluation)


- New learning (trainings)


- Uniqueness (of the job)


- Control (accountability)

-proposed that an individual's specific needs are acquired over time and are shaped by one's life experiences.

David McClelland’s Achievement Motivation Theory

three needs: David McClelland’s Achievement Motivation Theory

1. Achievement motivation (n-ach)


2. Authority/power motivation (n-pow)


3. Affiliation motivation (n-affil)


- is 'achievement motivated' and therefore seeks achievement, attainment of realistic but challenging goals, and advancement in the job. There is a strong need for feedback about achievement and progress, and a need for a sense of accomplishment.

Achievement motivation (n-ach)

- is 'authority motivated'. This driver produces a need to be influential, effective and to make an impact. There is a strong need to lead and for their ideas to prevail. There is also motivation and need towards increasing personal status and prestige

Authority/power motivation (n-pow)

- is 'affiliation motivated', and has a need for friendly relationships and is motivated towards interaction with other people. They need harmonious relationships with other people and need to feel accepted by other people. The affiliation driver produces motivation and need to be liked and held in popular regard. These people are team players.

Affiliation motivation (n-affil)

People with different needs are motivated differently:

High need for achievement - High achievers should be given challenging projects with reachable goals. They should be provided frequent feedback. While money is not an important motivator in itself. Rather, it is an effective form of feedback.

- Employees with a high affiliation need perform best in a cooperative environment. High need for power - Management should provide power seekers the opportunity to manage others.

High need for affiliation
