The Emergence of Strategic Training and Development

Image
  The degree to which an organization's human resource development activities succeed in differentiating staff competencies from rivals improves learning transfer among divisions and contributes to competitive advantage (Bartlett and Ghoshal, 1992). To improve organizational performance and effectiveness, strategic human resource development has become an important aspect of human resource management. Human resource development is an important aspect of workforce planning operations that is linked to increased efficiency, product development, market share, and revenue (Koch and McGrath, 1996). Traditional human resource development practices are insufficient to address the changing needs of today's businesses. There is a strong need to switch from offering a limited set of technical skills to acquiring competencies in a growing number of areas. The ideal way to understand strategic human resource development is as a contingency approach. Much of the literature on strate...

Relationship of Training Motivation to Participation in Training and Development

Image
  Recent studies have used structural and job characteristics, as well as employee demographics, to explain training engagement at the organizational level. However, reviewers claim that an individual's motivation for training should also play a role in their participation. Scholars contend that anticipating a valuable gain from education, is a critical antecedent to involvement (Ford and Noe, 1992), rather than the traditional measure of motivation to study. Learning motivation, self-efficacy, and motivation through expectation are the three categories of pre-training motivation. Learning motivation is a basic and direct technique to assess how trainees perceive their participation, nevertheless, it is transparent and provides very little diagnostic information, and explicates little about why certain trainees are more motivated than others (Mathieu and Martineau, 1997). In expectation-based motivation, employees are driven by the idea that their efforts to attend training will ...

  Human resources are considered a valuable resource for the growth of the companies when there is a motivation for them and properly applied (Nadiv et al., 2017). Employee development is widely regarded as the primary engine of an organization's value growth. (Mayo, 2000). The unexpected spread of the covid-19 virus throughout the world, at the beginning of 2019, caused the complete or partial halt of business in the world, and employees are asked to stay at home. However, several businesses have maintained operations based on the idea of working from home (WFH) through the use of internet connectivity (Manickam, 2020). With the implementation of the WFH concept in this pandemic situation, the main problem faced by the employees is the lack of training and development (T&D) (Manickam, 2020).  Employees are preferred to take on more responsibilities and they are expected to enhance current skills and add new skills to meet the current job demand in order to fulfill org...

Effects of Training and Development investments on Learning and Innovation in Organizations

Image
The growing recognition of the specific significance of human capital development in enterprises has prompted researchers to investigate the link between training techniques and key performance indicators (Tharenou, Saks and Moore, 2007). The ability to utilize present knowledge and information to develop new combinations and modifications is a major source of innovation (Cantner, Joel and Schmidt, 2009). The investments a company makes in training and development establish a culture of continuous learning that encourages people to share their expertise and ideas, supporting the emergence of new knowledge and innovation (Lau and Ngo, 2004). There are two types of training investments: corporate training expenditures and financial assistance for training, which take into account the various kinds of organization-provided training and take into account the varied growth objectives. The former is oriented toward external training to increase overall employee competence over the long ter...

Impact of Effective Training and Development Programs on Employee Performance

Image
  Training and development is a structured procedure for modifying employee behavior and motivation in order to improve job performance and, ultimately, organizational performance. It is a critical function that has a direct impact on an organization's performance.

Challenges to the Effective Management of Human Resource Training and Development

Image
