A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT




INTRODUCTION


Training and Development is the framework for helping employees to develop
their personal and organizational skills, knowledge, and abilities. The focus of all
aspects of Human Resource Development is on developing the most superior
workforce so that the organization and individual employees can accomplish their
work goals in service to customers. All employees want to be valuable and remain
competitive in the labour market at all times, because they make some demand for
employees in the labour market. This can only be achieved through employee
training and development. Hence employees have a chance to negotiate as well as
employer has a good opportunity to select most suitable person for his vacancy.
Employees will always want to develop career-enhancing skills, which will always
lead to employee motivation. There is no doubt that a well trained and developed
staff will be a valuable asset to the company and thereby increasing the chances of
his efficiency in discharging his or her duties. Trainings in an organization can be
mainly of two types; Internal and External training sessions. Internal training
involves when training is organized in-house by the human resources department
or training department using either a senior staff or any talented staff in the
particular department as a resource person.


The game of economic confutation as rules. This requires responding to customers‟
needs for quality, variety, customization convince timeliness. Meeting these new
standards requires a workforce that is technically trained in all respects. It requires
people who are capable analyzing solving job related problem working
comparatively in teams and „changing hats‟ and shifting from job as well. Training
has in increased in importance in today‟s environment where jobs are complex and
             SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE                 Page 10
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


change rapidly. Companies that pay lip-service to the need for training, by lazily
setting aside a few hours a year, will soon find themselves at the receiving end
when talented employees leave in frustration and other employees find it difficult
to beat rivals with new products, sophisticated designs and improving ways of
selling .to survive and flourish in the present day corporate jungle companies
should invest time and money in upgrading the knowledge and skills of their
employees constantly. For any company that stops injecting itself with intelligence
is going to die.

Every organization needs to have well – trained and experienced people to perform
the activities that have to be done. The effective functioning of any organization
requires that employees learn to perform their jobs at satisfactory level of
proficiency. An effective organization wishes to have amongst its ranks individuals
that are qualified to accept increasing responsibilities. So that organization needs in
their present jobs, but also to develop their capabilities of other jobs, for which
they might later be considered.

Training enables the employee to get acquainted with jobs and also increase their
aptitude, skills and knowledge. It makes newly recruited employees fully
productive in the minimum of time. Even for the old workers, it is necessary to
refresh them and to enable them to keep up with new methods and techniques as
well as new machine and equipments for doing the work. Thus, training is not a
„One step process‟ but it is a „continuous or never ending process‟ because it
increase the knowledge and skills of new employees in performing their jobs and
serves as a refresher course for the old employees training job will never be
finished as long as organization remains operation.




              SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE                Page 11
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


Training can be introduced simply as a process of assisting a person for enhancing
his efficiency and effectiveness to a particular work area by getting more
knowledge and practices. Also training is important to establish specific skills,
abilities and knowledge to an employee. For an organization, training and
development are important as well as organizational growth, because the
organizational growth and profit are also dependent on the training. But the
training is not a core of organizational development. It is a function of the
organizational development.


Training is different form education; particularly formal education. The education
is concerned mainly with enhancement of knowledge, but the aims of training are
increasing knowledge while changing attitudes and Competences in good manner.
Basically the education is formulated with in the framework and to syllabus, but
the training is not formed in to the frame and as well as syllabus. It may differ from
one employee to another, one group to another, even the group in the same class.
The reason for that can be mentioned as difference of attitudes and skills from one
person to another.


Even the situation is that, after good training programme, all different type skilled
one group of employees can get in to similar capacity, similar skilled group. That
is an advantage of the trainings .In the field of Human Resources Management,
Training and Development is the field concern with organizational activities which
are aimed to bettering individual and group performances in organizational
settings. It has been known by many names in the field HRM, such as employee
development, human resources development, learning and development etc.
Training is really developing employees‟ capacities through learning and
practicing.
              SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE               Page 12
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


On the other hand external training is normally arranged outside the firm and is
mostly organized by training institutes or consultants. Whichever training, it is
very important for all staff and helps in building career positioning and preparing
staff for greater challenges in developing world. However the training is costly.
Because of that, people who work at firms do not receive external trainings most of
times. The cost is a major issue for the lack of training programmes in Sri Lanka.
But nowadays, a new concept has come with these trainings which is “Trainers
through trainees”. While training their employees in large quantities, many
countries use that method in present days to reduce their training costs. The theory
of this is, sending a little group or an individual for a training programme under a
bonding agreement or without a bond. When they come back to work, the
externally trained employees train the employees who have not participated for
above training programme by internal training programmes.


Employers of labour should enable employees to pursue training and development
in a direction that they choose and are interested in, not just in company-assigned
directions. Companies should support learning, in general, and not just in support
of knowledge needed for the employee's current or next anticipated job. It should
be noted that the key factor is keeping the employee interested, attending, engaged,
motivated and retained.


For every employee to perform well, especially Supervisors and Managers, there is
a need for constant training and development. The right employee training,
development and education provides big payoffs for the employer in increased
productivity, knowledge, loyalty, and contribution to general growth of the firm. In
most cases external trainings for instance provide participants with the avenue to
meet new set of people in the same field and network. The meeting will give them
             SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE              Page 13
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


the chance to compare issues and find out what is obtainable in each others
environment. This for sure will introduce positive changes where necessary.
It is not mentioned in any where that the employers, managers and supervisors are
not suitable for training programmes. They also must be highly trained if they are
expected to do their best for the organization. Through that they will have best
abilities and competencies to manage the organization. Training employees not
only creates a more positive corporate culture, but also add a value to its key
resources.


Raw human resources can make only limited contribution to the organization to
achieve its goals and objectives. Hence the demands for the developed employees
are continuously increasing. Thus the training is a kind of investment.


CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Training often has been referred to as teaching specific skills and behavior. It is
usually reserved for people who have to be brought up to performing level in some
specific skills. The skills are almost always behavioral as distinct from conceptual
or intelligence.
Development, in contrast is considered to be more general than training and more
oriented to individual needs in addition to organizational needs and it is most often
aimed towards management people. There is more theory involved with such
education and hence less concern with specific behavior than is the case with
training. Usually the intent of development is to provide knowledge and
understanding will enable people to carry out non technical organizational
functions more effectively such as problem solving, decision making and relating
to people.

A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT




Meaning


The term „Training‟ is concerned with impacting specific skills for a particular
purpose. Training refers to a planned effort by a company to facilitate employees‟
learning of job-related competencies. These competencies include knowledge,
skills, or behaviours that are critical for successful job performance in the
immediate term or near future. This is in contrast with development, which is
training that provides employees with competencies for anticipated future jobs and
roles. The goal of training is for employees to master the knowledge, skill, and
behaviours emphasized in training programs and to apply them to their day-to-day
activities.


High-leverage training is linked to strategic business goals and objectives, uses
an instructional design process to ensure that training is effective, and compares or
benchmarks the company‟s training programs against training programs in other
companies. High-leverage training practices also help to create working conditions
that encourage continuous learning. Continuous learning requires employees to
understand the entire work system, including the relationships among their jobs,
their work units, and the company. Employees are expected to acquire new skills
and knowledge, apply them on the job, and share this information with other
employees. Managers take an active role in identifying training needs and help to
ensure that employees use training in their work. To facilitate the sharing of
knowledge, managers may use informational maps that show where knowledge lies
within the company (for example, directories and/or skills inventories that list what
individuals do as well as the specialized knowledge they possess) and use
              SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE              Page 15
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


technology such as groupware or the internet that allows employees in various
business units to work simultaneously on problems and share Information.
Training is used to improve employee performance, which leads to improved
business results. Training is seen as one of several possible solutions to improve
performance. Other solutions can include such actions as changing the job or
increasing employee motivation through pay and incentives. Today there is a
greater emphasis on:
• Providing educational opportunities for all employees.
• An ongoing process of performance improvement that is directly measurable
rather than organizing one-time training events.
• The need to demonstrate to executives, managers, and trainees the benefits of
training.
• Learning as a lifelong event in which senior management, trainer managers, and
employees have ownership.
• Training being used to help attain strategic business objectives, which help
companies, gains a competitive advantage.


Measuring the return on investment in research and development, marketing, sales,
and human resources is key for demonstrating the value to the business. Each of
Medtronic‟s businesses uses a scorecard to measure success and return on
investment. Medtronic is currently developing metrics to measure how training
contributes to the company‟s success.


Definitions:
“Edwin. B.Ellppo” has defined “Training as the cut of increasing the knowledge
and skills of an employee for doing a particular job”.


               SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE          Page 16
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


“Michael Armstrong” defines “Training as the systematic development of the
knowledge skills and attitudes acquired by an individual to perform adequately a
given task or job”.


“Michael J.Jucious” “Training is any process by which the attitude, skills and
abilities of employees to perform specific jobs are improved”.


“Michael Armstrong” “Training is the systematic modification of behavior
through learning which occurs as a result of education, instruction, development.


The above definition suggests that training enhance the skill and capabilities of the
individuals in an organization. For training to be successful, the employees have to
be convinced of its utility and effectiveness.
A successful training program, which in turn enhance organizational performance.


THEORETICAL FRAME WORK

The Efficiency of an organization depends on the capacity and talents of its
personnel and how motivated they are capability of the depends on his ability to
work and type of training he receives. After the employees have been selected for
various positions in an organization, training them for the specific tasks to which
they been assigned assumes great importance. It is true in many originations that
before employees are fitted into a harmonious working relationship with the other
employees, he is given adequate training. Training      is the act of increasing the
knowledge and skills of an employee for performing a particular job. The major
outcome of training is learning. Trainees learn new habits, refined skills and useful
knowledge during the training that helps him improve performance. Training

             SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE               Page 17
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


enables an employee to do his present job more efficiently and prepare himself for
a higher level job.

Training is needed to serve the following purposes.

           Newly recruited employees require training so as to perform their
             tasks effectively. Instruction, guidance, coaching help them to handle
             jobs competently without any wastage.
           Training is necessary to prepare existing employees for higher level
             jobs (promotion).
           Existing employees require refresher training so as to keep abreast of
             the latest development operation. In face of rapid technological
             changes, this is an absolute necessity.
           Training is necessary when a person moves from one job to another
             (transfer). After training the employee can change jobs quickly,
             improve his performance levels and achieve career goals comfortable.
           Training is necessary to make employees mobile and versatile. They
             can be placed on various jobs depending on organizational needs.
           Training is needed to bridge the gap between what the employees has
             and what the job demands. Training is needed to make employees
             more productive and useful in the long run.
           Training is needed for employees to again acceptance from peers
             (learning a job quickly and being able to pull their own weight is one
             of the best ways for them to gain acceptance.



Thus, training is meant for operatives and development is meant for managers.
Training tries to improve a specific skill relating to a job whereas development

              SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE            Page 18
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


aims at improving the total personality of an individual. Training is one-shot deal;
whereas development is an ongoing continuous process. The scope of training is on
individual employee, whereas eth scope of development is on the entire work
group or the organization. Training is mostly the result of initiatives taken by
management. It is the result of some outside motivation. Training seeks to meet the
current recruitment of the jobs and the individual; whereas development aims at
meeting the future needs of the job and the individual. In other words, training is a
reactive process whereas development is a proactive process. Development is
future oriented training, focusing on the personal growth of the employee.

AREAS OF TRAINING:

The areas of training in which training is offered may be classified into the
following categories.

             SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE               Page 19
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


Knowledge:

Here the trainee learns about a set of rules and regulations about the job, the staff
and the products or service offered by the company. The aim is to make the new
employee fully aware of what goes on inside and outside the company.

Technical skills:

The employee is taught a specific skill (e.g. operating a machine, handling
computer etc) so that he can acquire that shill and contribute meaningfully.

Social skills: The employee is made to learn about himself and others, and to
develop a right mental attitude towards the job, colleagues and the company. The
principal focus is on teaching the employees hoe to be a teach member and get
ahead.

TYPES OF TRAINING:

There many approaches to training. We focus here on the types of training that are
commonly employed in present day organizations.

Skills Training:

This type of training is most common in the organization. The process here is fairly
simple. The need for training in basic skills (such as reading, writing, computing,
speaking, listening, problem soloing, man gaining oneself, knowing how to learn,
working as part of a team, leading others) is identified through assessment.
Specific training objectives are set and training content is developed to meet those
objectives. Several methods are available for imparting these basic skills in modern
organization (such as lecture, apprenticeship, on- the job, coaching etc).



             SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE                Page 20
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


Refresher Training:

Rapid changes in technology may force companies to go in for this kind of
training. By organizing short term course which in corporate that latest
development in a particular field, the company may keep its employees up-to-date
and ready to take on emerging challenges. It is conducted at regular intervals by
taking the help of outside consultants who specialize in a particular descriptive.

Cross – functional Training:

Cross functional training involves training employees to perform operations in
areas other than their assigned job. There are many approaches to cross functional
training. Job rotation can be used to provide a manager in one functional area with
a broader perspective than he would otherwise have. Department can exchange
personnel for a certain period so that each employee understands how other
department functions.

Team Training:

Team training generally covers two areas: content task and group processes.
Content tasks specify the team‟s goal such as cost control and problem solving.
Group processes reflect the way the member function as team – for example how
they interact with other, how they sort out difference, how they participate etc.

Diversity Training:

Diversity training considers all of the diverse dimensions in the work place – race,
gender, age lifestyles, culture, education, ideas, and background- while designing
training programmes. It aims to create better cross – cultural sensitivity with the
aims of fostering more harmonious and fruitful working relationship among firm‟s
employees.

A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


TRAINING METHODS:

Training methods are usually classified by the location of instruction. On the job
training is provided when the workers are taught relevant knowledge, skill and
abilities at the actual workplace. Off-the-job training on the other hand, requires
that trainees learn at a location other than the real work spot.

    1. Job Instruction Training (JIT)

      The JIT method is a four – step instructional preparation, presentation, and
      performance try out and follow up. It is used primarily to teach workers how
      to do their current jobs. A Trainer, supervisor or co- worker acts as the
      coach. The four steps followed in the JIT methods are:
      i.     The trainee receives an overview of the job, its purpose and its desired
             outcomes, with clear focus on the relevance of training.
      ii.    The trainer demonstrates the job in order to give the employee a
             model to copy.
      iii.   Next, the employee is permitted to copy the trainer‟s way.
             Demonstrates by the trainer and practice by the trainee are repeated
             until the trainee masters the right way to handle the job.
      iv.    Finally, the employee does job independently without supervision.



1. Coaching :
   Coaching is a kind of daily training and feedback given to employee by
   immediate supervision. It involves a continuous process of learning by doing. It
   may defined as an informal, unplanned training and development activity
   provided by supervisor and peers. In coaching, the supervisor explain things
   and answer questions; he throws light on why things are done the way they are;
              SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE              Page 22
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


  he offers a model for trainees to copy ; conducts lot of decision making meeting
  with trainees; procedure are agreed upon and the trainees is given enough
  authority to make divisions and even commit mistakes. Coaching can be taxing
  job in that the coach may not possess requisite skills to guide the learner in a
  systematic way. Sometimes, doing a full day‟s work may be more important
  than putting the learner on track.


2. Mentoring:
  Mentoring is relationship in which a senior manager in organization assumes
  the responsibility    for grooming a junior person. Technical, interpersonal and
  political skills are generally conveyed in such a relationship from the more
  experienced person. A mentor is a teacher, suppose, counselor, developer of
  skills and intellect, host, guide exemplar and most importantly, supporter and
  facilitator in the realization of the vision the young person has about the kind of
  life he wants as an adult. The main objective of mentoring is to help an
  employee attain psychological maturity and effectiveness and get integrated
  with the organization.


3. Job rotation:
  This kind of training involves the movement of trainee one job to another. This
  helps him to have a general understanding of how the organization functions.
  The purpose of job rotation is to provide trainees with a larger organizational
  perspective and a greater understanding of different functional areas as well as a
  better sense if their own career objectives and interests. Apart from reliving
  boredom, job rotation allows trainees to build rapport cooperation among
  departments. The cross-trained personnel offer a great amount of flexibility for
  organizations when transfers, promotions or replacement become inevitable.
            SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE                Page 23
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


4. Apprenticeship Training:
  Most croft workers such as plumbers and carpenters are trained through formal
  apprenticeship programmes. Apprentices are trainees who spend a prescribed
  amount of time working with an experienced guide, coach or trainer.
  Apprenticeships and internships are similar to apprenticeship because that also
  demand high levels of participation from the trainee. An internship is a kind of
  on the job training that usually combines job training with classroom instruction
  in trade schools, colleges or universities. It is also likely that it in these of rapid
  changes I technology, old skills may get outdated quickly. Trainees who spend
  years learning specific skills may find, upon completion of their programmes,
  that the job skills they acquired are no longer appropriate.



OFF-THE- JOB METHODS:

     Under this method of training, the trainee is separated from the job situation
     ad his attention is focused upon learning the materials related to his future
     job performance. There is an opportunity for freedom of expression for the
     trainees. Off-the-job methods are as follows:
  a) Vestibule Training:
    In this method, actual work conditions are simulated in a class room.
    Material, files and equipment- those that are used in actual job performance
    are also used in the training. This type of training is commonly used for
    training personnel for clerical and semi-skilled jobs. The duration of this
    training range from a few days to a few weeks. Theory can be related to
    practice in this method.




             SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE                  Page 24
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


b) Role playing:
   It is defined as method of human interaction that involves realistic behavior in
   imaginary situations. This method of training involves action, doing and
   practice. The participants play the role of certain characters such as the
   production manager, mechanical engineer, superintendents, maintenance
   engineer, quality control inspector, foremen, workers and the like. This
   method is mostly used for developing interpersonal interactions and relations.
c) Lecture method:
  The lecture is a traditional and direct method of instruction. The instructor
  organizes the material and gives it to a group of trainees in the form of a talk.
  To be effective, the lecture must motivate and create interest among the
  trainees. An advantage of lecture method is direct and can be used for a large
  group of trainees. Thus, costs and time involved are reduced. The major
  limitation of the lecture method is that it does not provide for transfer of
  training effectively.
 d) Conference / discussion approach:
  In this method, the trainers deliver a lecture and involve the trainee in a
  discussion so that his doubts about the job get clarified. When big organization
  use this method, the trainer uses audio-visual aids such as black board, mock
  ups and slides; in some cases the lecture are videotapes or audio taped. Even
  the trainee‟s presentation can be taped for self confrontation and self-
  assessment. The conference is, thus a group-centered where there is a
  clarification of ideas, communication of procedures and standards to the
  trainees. Those individuals who have a general educational background and
  whatever specific skills are required- such as typing, shorthand, office
  equipment operation, filling, indexing, recording etc- may be provided with
  specific instructions to handle their respective jobs.
           SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE               Page 25
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


 e) Programmed Instruction:
   This method has becomes popular in recent years. The subject matter to be
   learned is presented in a series of carefully planned sequential units. These
   units are arranged from simple to more complex levels of instructions. The
   trainee goes through these units by answering questions or filling the blanks.
   This method is, thus, expensive and time-consuming.



NEED FOR TRAINING:

   Training is the act of improving one‟s knowledge and skill to improve his/her
   job performance. Training is job – oriented. It bridges the gap between what
   the employee has and what the job demands. For that matter, imparting to
   employees working in all organized sectors of human activity is longer a
   matter of debate. The need for training has been recognized as essential
   activity not only in the business organizations, but also in academic
   institution, professional bodies and the government department.


  IMPARTANCE OF TRAINING:
  The importance of training can best be appreciated with the help of various
  advantages it offers to both employees and employer.




 1. Better performance:
  Training improves employee‟s ability and skills, in turn improves employee‟s
  performance both in quality and quantity. Better or increased employee
  performance directly leads to increased operational productivity and increased


           SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE             Page 26
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


       organizational profits. Improvements in employee performance / productivity
       in development countries lend support to this statement.
  2. Improved Quality:
       In formal training programmes, the best methods of performing jobs are
       standardized and then taught to employees. This offers two – fold benefits.
       Firstly uniformity in work performance helps improve the quality of work or
       service. Secondly better informed or say trained workers are less likely to
       make operational mistakes.
  3. Less supervision:
       A trained worker is self reliant. He knows his work and way to perform it well.
       Therefore, his work requires less supervision. The supervision can devote his
       time on more urgent works.
   4. Less learning period:
       A well planned and systematically organized training programmes reduces the
       time and cost involved in learning. Training enables to avoid waste of time and
       efforts in learning through trial and error method.
  5.     High morale:
       Training not only improves the ability and skills of the employees, but also
       changes employees‟ attitude towards positive. Higher performance, job
       satisfaction, job security and avenues for internal promotion lead to high
       morale among the employees. High morale, in turn, makes employees more
       loyal to the organization.
6. Personal Growth:
  Training improves employee‟s ability knowledge and skills and thus, prevents
  employee‟s obsolesce. This makes employees growth- oriented.
7. Favorable Organizational Climate:


                SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE             Page 27
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


 The aforesaid advantage combined lead to improves and favorable organizational
 climate characterized by better industrial relation and disciplines, reduced
 resistance to change, reduced absenteeism and turnover of employees and
 improves stability of organization.

STEP IN TRAINING PROGRAMMES

 The various step activities involved in developing training programmes can be
 broadly classified into five steps as follows;


              1. Identification of training needs
              2. Setting training objectives
              3. Designing training methods
              4. Administration of training programmes
              5. Evaluation of training
 Training could be traced far back at the Stone Age when people used to transfer
 knowledge in particular activity through signs and deeds to others. It was only
 during industrial revolution the formal and vocational training was started to
 instruct the apprentices about the about the operation of machines. Since then
 there is no looking back in this regard. Today training has become the most
 important organizational activity not only in the business organizations but in the
 educational institution also. It is fact that many organizations have realized the
 need of the training created infrastructure and provided financial support. The
 result of many training programmes have been far less than the desired ones
 because of non-alignment of training programmes with the overall human
 resources development (HRD) strategies of the organization.

Port is a junction of land and ocean transports and provides a connecting link
between land and sea. It acts as a gateway to the land from the as well as a gateway
to the sea from the land. It is through the port that a country‟s foreign trade is
carried on. The exportable surplus or brought to the port for being loaded into the
ships and sent to other countries. The imports from foreign countries arrive at the
port where they are unloaded for distribution inside the country. In fact the main
function of a port is to develop country‟s foreign trade, Export and Import.

New Mangalore Port Trust




      Mission: To become a leading liquid and multi-cargo port by adopting state
of the art technology, infrastructure and cargo handling systems, complying with
environmental, social, safety and security standards.

      The New Mangalore harbor project started in 1962 was complete in May
1974. The New Mangalore Port was declared as the 9th Major port on 4th May 1974


             SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE                Page 31
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


and was formally inaugurated by the former Prime Minister of India, Smt.Indira
Gandhi on 11th January 1975.

      Till 31st March 1980, Government of India centrally administered both the
project and the port. On 1st April 1980, the port trust board was set up under the
major port trust Act 1963 and was inaugurated by the minister for shipping and
transport, Mr. A.P.Sharma on 31st March 1980. Since then, the port has been
functioning as the 10th major port trust and is fallen in line with other major port
trusts functioning in the country.

   New Mangalore Port is well connected by Rail, Road and Air and is
strategically placed. The New Mangalore Port is popularly known as “THE
GATEWAY OF KARNATAKA.

Historical background:

      Even though the Minor Port of Mangalore was one among the 19 such ports
in the state of Karnataka with a sea-coast of 285 k/ms, the Mangalore Port had a
long maritime history of its own as is evident from the fact that the geographer
Ptolemy of second century AD has made a mention of Mangalore in his
travelogue. The old port of Mangalore had played a vital role in the golden ore of
Karnataka when it served as an important gateway to the illustrious Hindu Empire
of Vijayanagar for brisk trade in silk and spices.

      Being a natural outlet of strategic importance, Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan
the former rulers of Mysore maintained a dockyard and arsenal at Mangalore in
18th century. The defeat of Tippu Sultan by the British brought this region of south
Karnataka under presidency of Madras Province and this position was retained till
the re-organization of the state in 1956, when the South Kanara and other were
merged with Karnataka state.

      CHAPTER - 2
             REVIEW
                      OF
     LITERATURE




SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE   Page 37
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


                          REVIEW OF LITERATURE


  A review of literature on evaluation of training was conducted to identify
  methods of effectiveness evaluation for training programs. Five definitions of
  evaluation were identified in the literature.


Kirkpatrick (1971)

Kirkpatrick‟s first level of measurement, reaction, is defined as how well the
trainees liked the training program. The second measurement level, learning, is
designated as the determination of what knowledge, attitudes, and skills were
learned in the training. The third measurement level is defined as behavior.
Behavior outlines a relationship of learning (the previous measurement le vel) to
the actualization of doing. Kirkpatrick recognized a big difference between
knowing principles and techniques and using those principles and techniques on
the job. The fourth measurement level, results, is the expected outcomes of most
educational training programs such as reduced costs, reduced turnover and
absenteeism, reduced grievances, improved profits or morale, and increased
quality and quantity of production.


Paquet,Kasl, Weinstein, & Waite, (1987).
One study was found by a major corporation that measured change in productivity
and ROI of a training program. CIGNA Corporation‟s corporate management
development and training department, which provides training for employees of
CIGNA Corporation‟s operating subsidiaries, initiated an evaluation program to
prove management training made a business contribution. The research question
posed was, “Does management training result in improved productivity in the

            SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE            Page 38
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


 manager‟s workplace?” The team conducting the research identified that data
 collection needed to be built into the training program for optimal data gathering.
 If managers could use the evaluation data for their own benefit as part of their
 training, they would be more likely to cooperate.


Paulet & Moult, 1987
 British Airways assessed the effectiveness of the Managing People First (MPF)
training by measuring the value shift, commitment, and empowerment of the
trainees. An in-depth interview was used to measure the action potential (energy
generated in the participants by the course) and level of action as a result of the
course. A want level was used to measure the action potential and a do level for the
action. Each measurement was assigned a value of high, medium, or low.
However, high, medium, and low were not defined.


Robert (1988) in his study “The Pygmalion Effect” personal journal describes
the “Pygmalion Effect” or the “Behavior Science Principle” which states that an
employees‟ success is directly related to the company‟s expectation. Good
management training practice is discussed. Such as recognizing employees
potential for improved performance showing confidence in the staff marinating an
in-going dialogue setting, high performance standards complimenting, criticizing
constructively and with empathy, helping people advance and overcome self-
defects.

Alliger and Horowitz (1989)
   Numerous studies reported use of components of the Kirkpatrick Model;
however, no study was found that applied all four levels of the model. Although
level one is the least complex of the measures of evaluation developed by

             SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE              Page 39
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


Kirkpatrick, no studies were found that reported use of level one as a sole measure
of training. One application of the second level of evaluation, knowledge, was
reported by. In this study the IBM Corporation incorporated knowledge tests into
internally developed training. To ensure the best design, IBM conducted a study to
identify the optimal test for internally developed courses. Four separate tests
composed of 25 questions each were developed based on ten key learning
components. Four scoring methods were evaluated including one that used a
unique measure of confidence. The confidence measurement assessed how
confident the trainee was with answers given.


Bushnell (1990) also created a modification to the Kirkpatrick Model by
identifying a four-step process of evaluation. Bushnell‟s model included evaluation
of training from the development through the delivery and impact. Step one
involved the analysis of the System Performance Indicators that included the
trainee‟s qualifications, instructor abilities, instructional materials, facilities, and
training dollars. Step two involved the evaluation of the development process that
included the plan, design, development, and delivery. Step three was defined as
output which equated to the first three levels of the Kirkpatrick Model. Step three
involves trainees‟ reactions, knowledge and skills gained, and improved job
performance. Bushnell separated outcomes or results of the training into the fourth
step. Outcomes were defined as profits, customer satisfaction, and productivity.
This model was applied by IBM‟s global education network, although specific
results were not found in the literature.
Phillips (1991) stated the Kirkpatrick Model was probably the most well known
framework for classifying areas of evaluation. This was confirmed in 1997 when
the America Society for Training and Development (ASTD) assessed the
nationwide prevalence of the importance of measurement and evaluation to human
              SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE                 Page 40
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


resources department (HRD) executives by surveying a panel of 300 HRD
executives from a variety of types of U.S. organizations. Survey results indicated
the majority (81%) of HRD executives attached some level of importance to
evaluation and over half (67%) used the Kirkpatrick Model. The most frequently
reported challenge was determining them impact of the training (ASTD, 1997).


Lookatch (1991) and ASTD (2002) reported that only one in ten organizations
attempted to gather any results-based evaluation. In 1952, Donald Kirkpatrick
(1996) conducted doctoral research to evaluate a supervisory training program.
Kirkpatrick‟s goal was to measure the participants‟ reaction to the program, the
amount of learning that took place, the extent of behavior change after participants
returned to their jobs, and any final results from a change in behavior achieved by
participants after they returned to work.


Wagner & Roland, (1992). Over 20 organizations and 5,000 participants were
studied. Three measures were used to determine behavioral changes. Measure one
was a questionnaire completed by participant s both before and after training. The
second measure was supervisory reports completed on the functioning of work
groups before and after training. The third measure was interviews with managers,
other than the immediate supervisor, to obtain reactions to individual and work-
group performance after an OBERT program. Results reported showed no
significant changes in behavior.


Hopkins (1995)
There are several ways managers can use professional development to increase the
competence, skills, and leadership capacity of their employees. One way to do this
involves managers encouraging employees to pursue continuing education
             SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE              Page 41

opportunities     and/or   empowering    employees    through    various   leadership
opportunities within the organization.


Singh has conducted a study on “Attitude Change through Training” in 1998.
The study was conducted with the thirty five officers from different central/state
government/ public sector units/ nationalized banks. And the study was conducted
to explore the impact of importing behavioral skill through training programme
resulting impersonalized attitude and co-operative attitude. Results reveal that
training led to change in attitudes. Experimental training and belief in the source of
communication, facilitated attitude change.



Kirkpatrick, (1998)
From Kirkpatrick‟s doctoral research, the concept of the four Kirkpatrick
measurement levels of evaluation emerged. While writing an article about training
in 1959, Kirkpatrick (1996) referred to these four measurement levels as the four
steps of a training evaluation. It is unclear even to Kirkpatrick how these four steps
became known as the Kirkpatrick Model, but this description persists today). As
reported in the literature, this model is most frequently applied to either
educational or technical training.


Holli and Calabrese (1998) defined evaluation as comparisons of an          observed
value or quality to a standard or criteria of comparison. Evaluation is the process of
forming value judgments about the quality of programs, products, and goals.


Kirkpatrick (1998) recommended that as many as possible of the four levels of
evaluation be conducted. In order to make the best use of organizational resources

A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


of time, money, materials, space, equipment, and manpower, continued efforts are
needed to assess all levels of effectiveness of training programs. Trainers from all
disciplines should develop evaluation plans for training and share the results of
these initiatives.


Jan (1999) in his study “Training and Development” reveals that a majority of
training programme relay that a majority of training programme relay on western
technique. Traditional Vedic approaches to knowledge focusing on the relation of
the athma, pure consciousness serves as the creativity and intelligence should be
viewed as an alternative approach to conduct training.

Warr, Allan and Birdie (1999) evaluated a two-day technical training course
involving 123 mo tor-vehicle technicians over a seven- month period in a
longitudinal study using a variation of the Kirkpatrick Model. The main objective
of this study was to demonstrate that training improved performance, thereby
justifying the investment in the training as appropriate. Warr et al.(1999) suggested
that the levels in the Kirkpatrick Model may be interrelated. They investigated six
trainee features and one organizational characteristic that might predict outcomes
at each measurement level. The six trainee features studied were learning
motivation, confidence about the learning task, learning strategies, technical
qualifications, tenure, and age. The one organizational feature evaluated was
transfer climate which was defined as the extent to which the learning from the
training was actually applied on the job.
Boulmetis and Dutwin (2000) defined evaluation as the systematic process of
collecting and analyzing data in order to determine whether and to what degree
objectives were or are being achieved.

Phillips and Pulliam (2000) reported an additional measure of training
effectiveness,return on investment (ROI), was used by companies because of the
pressures placed on Human Resource Departments to produce measures of output
for total quality management (TQM) and continuous quality improvements (CQI)
and the threat of outsourcing due to downsizing. Great debate was found in the
training and development literature about the use of ROI measures of training
programs. Many training and development professionals believed that ROI was
too difficult and unreliable a measure to use for training evaluation (Barron,
1997).


A study was conducted by HUMAN CAPITAL (2001); a leading pesticides
company provided excellent training for sales executives on selling techniques.
The trainees felt that they could make use of the selling techniques with great
advantage in the market place. Regional managers made no efforts to follow up
new ideas and suggestions. Consequently, sales executives were unable to adapt
techniques learned during the training program.

Schalock (2001) defined effectiveness evaluation as the determination of the
extent to which a program has met its stated performance goals and objectives.

Stufflebeam (2001) defined evaluation as a study designed and conducted to assist
some audience to assess an object's merit and worth. Stufflebeam's (2001)
definition of evaluation was used to assess the methods of evaluation found in this
literature review. The reason for selecting Stufflebeam‟s definition was based on
the applicability of the definition across multiple disciplines. Based on this
definition of evaluation, the Kirkpatrick Model was the most frequently reported
model of evaluation.

Radhakrishna, Plank, and Mitchell (2001) used a learning style instrument
(LSI) and a demographic profile in addition to reaction measures and learning
measures. The three training objectives were to assess knowledge gained
through a Web-based training, to determine participant reaction to Web-based
material and Listserv discussions, and to describe both the demographic profile
and the learning style of the participants. The evaluation of the training began
with an on- line pretest and an on- line LSI. The pretest included seven
demographic questions. The LSI, pretest and posttest, and LSI questionnaire
were paired by the agent's social security numbers. Fifty- five agents of the
available (106) agents completed all four instruments and were included in this
study.
According to Heathfield (2001) there six tips to which helps training and
development that will transfer skills back to the job.

   Provide information for the employee about exactly what training session
   will involve, prior to the training. Explain what is expected of the employees
   at the training session.
   Make clear to the employee that the training is OMS responsibility and she
   needs to take the training seriously.
   Make sure that internal or external training providers supply pre-training
   assignments. Reading or thought- provoking exercises in advance of the
   session promote thoughtful consideration of training content. Exercises or
   self assessment, provided and scored in advance of the session, save
   precious training time for interaction and new information.
   Train supervisors and managers either first or simultaneously so they know
   and understand the skills and information provided in the training session.



          SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE              Page 45
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


      Ask supervisors to meet with employees prior to the training session.
      Determine if key learning points are important for the organization in return
      for the investment of his time in the training. Identify any obstacles the
      employee may expect to experience as he transfers the training to the
      workplace.


Fancsali (2002) Recommends that staff development occur on an ongoing basis.
More specifically, the National Staff Development Council suggests that
“educators” spend at least a quarter of their work time on staff development
activities (Richardson 1997).
Bozionelos (2002)
Placing employees in staff mentorship positions as mentors is another method that
has been identified as increasing employees‟ skills and efficiency, while also
enhancing their reputation among managers, which can lead to greater career
success.
Astroth (2004)
Recommend that training should address what the position entails and the skills
necessary for competency.
Jackson (2006)
With regard to scheduling staff development, suggests that the timing of staff
development can affect the success of the development program, itself.
Consequently, she recommends that the timing of the training schedule be
developed with consideration of staff needs and wants. In terms of strategies for
effective implementation. As for the ideal format of staff development,
recommends that trainings focus on the “main points” and take into account
diverse learning modalities, by including “hands on” activities as well as time for
discussion and questions.

Current Training Needs for Staff
Given the importance of a strong staff in shaping successful youth development
programs, Astroth and Taylor (2004) report on the National Collaboration for
Youth‟s (NCY) efforts to define what successful youth workers are doing.
Essentially, NCY reviewed existing competencies circulating in the field, sought
feedback from many youth-serving organizations 8 and their staff, and ultimately
decided on a set of ten core competencies that “entry-level workers, including part-
time and full-time staff and volunteers, should possess when they begin a job or
should acquire during the first few years to be effective when working with youth,”


According to a report published by the Community Network for Youth
Development, the fast growing need for skilled youth workers highlights the fact
that there is little professional development support for these workers. Little to no
new skill development, low compensation and unclear career ladders may force
youth workers to move from job to job in order to obtain higher wages and/or new
skills and creating barriers for recruitment. Furthermore, this high turnover
detrimentally affects the youth they serve. California is among several states
creating professional support groups, youth development worker mentorship
programs, standards, core competencies for training, opportunities for higher
education, and clearer career pathways for youth workers. In fact, the CNYD
report, “Moving from Knowledge to Action in San Francisco: Creating a
Comprehensive Youth Work Professional Workforce System” lists a number of Bay

After the selection of people for various jobs, the next function of management is
to arrange for their training and development. This is because a person, however

carefully selected is not moulded to specifications and rarely meets the demands of
his job adequately. Formerly, it was thought that the training of personnel was
unnecessary on the ground that the new employees would gradually pick up all the
particulars of the job. But as the processes and techniques of production are
becoming more and more complicated, it is being increasingly released that the
formal training is very important not only for new recruit‟s bus also for existing
employees. Training function, in fact, has become the corner stone of sound
management.(Principles of Management page no 176 3rd edition         Tata McGraw-
Hill publishing company limited New Delhi.)


K ASWATHAPPA (2008)
 In simple terms, training and development refer to the imparting of specific
skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee. “More clearly, training and
development may be understood as any attempt to improve current or future
employee performance by increasing an employee‟s ability to perform through
learning, usually by changing the employee‟s attitude or increasing his or her skills
and knowledge. The need for training and development is determined by the
employee‟s performance deficiency, computed as follows: Training and
development need = standard performance – Actual            performance.” (Human
resource management page no 206, 5th edition Tata McGraw-Hill publishing
company limited New Delhi.)


According to Dr. N. Venkateshwara Rao Acharya Nagarjuna University, A
need for HRD, HRD times oct.(2006) Pp.23: training is another sub system. It
refers to the organizations efforts to improve the individual‟s ability to perform a
job or organizational role. Training in often conducted in order to improve
productivity, quality of performance reduce in efficiency and minimize the

accidents it is advisable for ever organization to arrange for its systematic training
for its employees.


According to Arun Monappa and Mirz saiyadain, personal management,
(1990) volume 2 Himalaya publishing house, Pp 179-180: the primary concern of
on organization in its viability, and hence its efficiency and if the organization does
not respond to this pressure it man find itself rapidly losing whatever share of the
market it has, employee training, therefore imports specific skills and knowledge to
employees in order that they contribute to the organization efficiency, and be able
to cope with the pressures of changing environment .


Based on study conducted by Dr.K.N.Ramanuram, Annamalai Nagar, Management
role in productivity HRD times may- (2006) Pp 31 denotes that training In a short-
term process utilizing a systematic and organizing procedure by which non-
managerial personal learn technical knowledge‟s and skills for a definite purpose
of course, all the employees entering the enterprise could not at once learn a new
technology. There in a need for adequate training to employees, it is sure and
certain that will increase per head productivity in the long run.
Beyond Training: Training and Development

Carter (2003) reported that training is generally defines as “ change in behavior” –
Yet, how many trainers and managers forget that, using the term training only as
applicable to “ skills training”? What about the human element? What about those
very same people we want to “train”? What about their individual beliefs,
backgrounds, ideas, needs, and aspiration? In order to achieve long – term results
through training, they broaden their vision to include people development as part
of our strategic planning. Although training covers a broad range of subjects under

             SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE                 Page 49
A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


the term “training” without linking it to development narrows our concept of the
training function and leads us to failure.

Cambell (1971), “Training courses are typically designed for a short – term,
started set purpose, such as the operation of some piece of machinery, while
development involves a broader education for long – term purpose.”

Scott (1970) He told about “Instruction can help employees increase their level of
performance on their present assignment. Increased human performance often
directly leads to increased operational productivity and increased company profit.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION


      Analysis and interpretation are central steps in the research process involves
breaking down existing complex factor into simple parts and putting the part
together in new arrangement for the purpose interpretation. Thus the goal of
analysis is to summaries the date in such a way that they provide answer to the
questions that the research interprets.



      Interpretation is the research for brooder means of research findings through
interpretation the meaning and implementation becomes clear.



      Analysis it‟s not complete method interpretation and interpretation cannot
proceed without analysis systematically so as to arrive and findings through
interpretation these are two methods to analyze collected data one method through
graphical figure representation and the other through table.

  • 10. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT INTRODUCTION Training and Development is the framework for helping employees to develop their personal and organizational skills, knowledge, and abilities. The focus of all aspects of Human Resource Development is on developing the most superior workforce so that the organization and individual employees can accomplish their work goals in service to customers. All employees want to be valuable and remain competitive in the labour market at all times, because they make some demand for employees in the labour market. This can only be achieved through employee training and development. Hence employees have a chance to negotiate as well as employer has a good opportunity to select most suitable person for his vacancy. Employees will always want to develop career-enhancing skills, which will always lead to employee motivation. There is no doubt that a well trained and developed staff will be a valuable asset to the company and thereby increasing the chances of his efficiency in discharging his or her duties. Trainings in an organization can be mainly of two types; Internal and External training sessions. Internal training involves when training is organized in-house by the human resources department or training department using either a senior staff or any talented staff in the particular department as a resource person. The game of economic confutation as rules. This requires responding to customers‟ needs for quality, variety, customization convince timeliness. Meeting these new standards requires a workforce that is technically trained in all respects. It requires people who are capable analyzing solving job related problem working comparatively in teams and „changing hats‟ and shifting from job as well. Training has in increased in importance in today‟s environment where jobs are complex and SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 10
  • 11. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT change rapidly. Companies that pay lip-service to the need for training, by lazily setting aside a few hours a year, will soon find themselves at the receiving end when talented employees leave in frustration and other employees find it difficult to beat rivals with new products, sophisticated designs and improving ways of selling .to survive and flourish in the present day corporate jungle companies should invest time and money in upgrading the knowledge and skills of their employees constantly. For any company that stops injecting itself with intelligence is going to die. Every organization needs to have well – trained and experienced people to perform the activities that have to be done. The effective functioning of any organization requires that employees learn to perform their jobs at satisfactory level of proficiency. An effective organization wishes to have amongst its ranks individuals that are qualified to accept increasing responsibilities. So that organization needs in their present jobs, but also to develop their capabilities of other jobs, for which they might later be considered. Training enables the employee to get acquainted with jobs and also increase their aptitude, skills and knowledge. It makes newly recruited employees fully productive in the minimum of time. Even for the old workers, it is necessary to refresh them and to enable them to keep up with new methods and techniques as well as new machine and equipments for doing the work. Thus, training is not a „One step process‟ but it is a „continuous or never ending process‟ because it increase the knowledge and skills of new employees in performing their jobs and serves as a refresher course for the old employees training job will never be finished as long as organization remains operation. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 11
  • 12. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Training can be introduced simply as a process of assisting a person for enhancing his efficiency and effectiveness to a particular work area by getting more knowledge and practices. Also training is important to establish specific skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee. For an organization, training and development are important as well as organizational growth, because the organizational growth and profit are also dependent on the training. But the training is not a core of organizational development. It is a function of the organizational development. Training is different form education; particularly formal education. The education is concerned mainly with enhancement of knowledge, but the aims of training are increasing knowledge while changing attitudes and Competences in good manner. Basically the education is formulated with in the framework and to syllabus, but the training is not formed in to the frame and as well as syllabus. It may differ from one employee to another, one group to another, even the group in the same class. The reason for that can be mentioned as difference of attitudes and skills from one person to another. Even the situation is that, after good training programme, all different type skilled one group of employees can get in to similar capacity, similar skilled group. That is an advantage of the trainings .In the field of Human Resources Management, Training and Development is the field concern with organizational activities which are aimed to bettering individual and group performances in organizational settings. It has been known by many names in the field HRM, such as employee development, human resources development, learning and development etc. Training is really developing employees‟ capacities through learning and practicing. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 12
  • 13. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT On the other hand external training is normally arranged outside the firm and is mostly organized by training institutes or consultants. Whichever training, it is very important for all staff and helps in building career positioning and preparing staff for greater challenges in developing world. However the training is costly. Because of that, people who work at firms do not receive external trainings most of times. The cost is a major issue for the lack of training programmes in Sri Lanka. But nowadays, a new concept has come with these trainings which is “Trainers through trainees”. While training their employees in large quantities, many countries use that method in present days to reduce their training costs. The theory of this is, sending a little group or an individual for a training programme under a bonding agreement or without a bond. When they come back to work, the externally trained employees train the employees who have not participated for above training programme by internal training programmes. Employers of labour should enable employees to pursue training and development in a direction that they choose and are interested in, not just in company-assigned directions. Companies should support learning, in general, and not just in support of knowledge needed for the employee's current or next anticipated job. It should be noted that the key factor is keeping the employee interested, attending, engaged, motivated and retained. For every employee to perform well, especially Supervisors and Managers, there is a need for constant training and development. The right employee training, development and education provides big payoffs for the employer in increased productivity, knowledge, loyalty, and contribution to general growth of the firm. In most cases external trainings for instance provide participants with the avenue to meet new set of people in the same field and network. The meeting will give them SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 13
  • 14. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT the chance to compare issues and find out what is obtainable in each others environment. This for sure will introduce positive changes where necessary. It is not mentioned in any where that the employers, managers and supervisors are not suitable for training programmes. They also must be highly trained if they are expected to do their best for the organization. Through that they will have best abilities and competencies to manage the organization. Training employees not only creates a more positive corporate culture, but also add a value to its key resources. Raw human resources can make only limited contribution to the organization to achieve its goals and objectives. Hence the demands for the developed employees are continuously increasing. Thus the training is a kind of investment. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Training often has been referred to as teaching specific skills and behavior. It is usually reserved for people who have to be brought up to performing level in some specific skills. The skills are almost always behavioral as distinct from conceptual or intelligence. Development, in contrast is considered to be more general than training and more oriented to individual needs in addition to organizational needs and it is most often aimed towards management people. There is more theory involved with such education and hence less concern with specific behavior than is the case with training. Usually the intent of development is to provide knowledge and understanding will enable people to carry out non technical organizational functions more effectively such as problem solving, decision making and relating to people. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 14
  • 15. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Meaning The term „Training‟ is concerned with impacting specific skills for a particular purpose. Training refers to a planned effort by a company to facilitate employees‟ learning of job-related competencies. These competencies include knowledge, skills, or behaviours that are critical for successful job performance in the immediate term or near future. This is in contrast with development, which is training that provides employees with competencies for anticipated future jobs and roles. The goal of training is for employees to master the knowledge, skill, and behaviours emphasized in training programs and to apply them to their day-to-day activities. High-leverage training is linked to strategic business goals and objectives, uses an instructional design process to ensure that training is effective, and compares or benchmarks the company‟s training programs against training programs in other companies. High-leverage training practices also help to create working conditions that encourage continuous learning. Continuous learning requires employees to understand the entire work system, including the relationships among their jobs, their work units, and the company. Employees are expected to acquire new skills and knowledge, apply them on the job, and share this information with other employees. Managers take an active role in identifying training needs and help to ensure that employees use training in their work. To facilitate the sharing of knowledge, managers may use informational maps that show where knowledge lies within the company (for example, directories and/or skills inventories that list what individuals do as well as the specialized knowledge they possess) and use SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 15
  • 16. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT technology such as groupware or the internet that allows employees in various business units to work simultaneously on problems and share Information. Training is used to improve employee performance, which leads to improved business results. Training is seen as one of several possible solutions to improve performance. Other solutions can include such actions as changing the job or increasing employee motivation through pay and incentives. Today there is a greater emphasis on: • Providing educational opportunities for all employees. • An ongoing process of performance improvement that is directly measurable rather than organizing one-time training events. • The need to demonstrate to executives, managers, and trainees the benefits of training. • Learning as a lifelong event in which senior management, trainer managers, and employees have ownership. • Training being used to help attain strategic business objectives, which help companies, gains a competitive advantage. Measuring the return on investment in research and development, marketing, sales, and human resources is key for demonstrating the value to the business. Each of Medtronic‟s businesses uses a scorecard to measure success and return on investment. Medtronic is currently developing metrics to measure how training contributes to the company‟s success. Definitions: “Edwin. B.Ellppo” has defined “Training as the cut of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for doing a particular job”. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 16
  • 17. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT “Michael Armstrong” defines “Training as the systematic development of the knowledge skills and attitudes acquired by an individual to perform adequately a given task or job”. “Michael J.Jucious” “Training is any process by which the attitude, skills and abilities of employees to perform specific jobs are improved”. “Michael Armstrong” “Training is the systematic modification of behavior through learning which occurs as a result of education, instruction, development. The above definition suggests that training enhance the skill and capabilities of the individuals in an organization. For training to be successful, the employees have to be convinced of its utility and effectiveness. A successful training program, which in turn enhance organizational performance. THEORETICAL FRAME WORK The Efficiency of an organization depends on the capacity and talents of its personnel and how motivated they are capability of the depends on his ability to work and type of training he receives. After the employees have been selected for various positions in an organization, training them for the specific tasks to which they been assigned assumes great importance. It is true in many originations that before employees are fitted into a harmonious working relationship with the other employees, he is given adequate training. Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for performing a particular job. The major outcome of training is learning. Trainees learn new habits, refined skills and useful knowledge during the training that helps him improve performance. Training SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 17
  • 18. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT enables an employee to do his present job more efficiently and prepare himself for a higher level job. Training is needed to serve the following purposes.  Newly recruited employees require training so as to perform their tasks effectively. Instruction, guidance, coaching help them to handle jobs competently without any wastage.  Training is necessary to prepare existing employees for higher level jobs (promotion).  Existing employees require refresher training so as to keep abreast of the latest development operation. In face of rapid technological changes, this is an absolute necessity.  Training is necessary when a person moves from one job to another (transfer). After training the employee can change jobs quickly, improve his performance levels and achieve career goals comfortable.  Training is necessary to make employees mobile and versatile. They can be placed on various jobs depending on organizational needs.  Training is needed to bridge the gap between what the employees has and what the job demands. Training is needed to make employees more productive and useful in the long run.  Training is needed for employees to again acceptance from peers (learning a job quickly and being able to pull their own weight is one of the best ways for them to gain acceptance. Thus, training is meant for operatives and development is meant for managers. Training tries to improve a specific skill relating to a job whereas development SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 18
  • 19. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT aims at improving the total personality of an individual. Training is one-shot deal; whereas development is an ongoing continuous process. The scope of training is on individual employee, whereas eth scope of development is on the entire work group or the organization. Training is mostly the result of initiatives taken by management. It is the result of some outside motivation. Training seeks to meet the current recruitment of the jobs and the individual; whereas development aims at meeting the future needs of the job and the individual. In other words, training is a reactive process whereas development is a proactive process. Development is future oriented training, focusing on the personal growth of the employee. Learning Training Development Dimension  Meant for Operatives Executives  Focus Current job Current and future jobs  Scope Individual employee Work group or organization  Goal Fix current skill deficit Prepare for future work demands  Initiated by Management The individual  Content Specific job related General knowledge information  Time – Frame Immediate Long term AREAS OF TRAINING: The areas of training in which training is offered may be classified into the following categories. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 19
  • 20. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Knowledge: Here the trainee learns about a set of rules and regulations about the job, the staff and the products or service offered by the company. The aim is to make the new employee fully aware of what goes on inside and outside the company. Technical skills: The employee is taught a specific skill (e.g. operating a machine, handling computer etc) so that he can acquire that shill and contribute meaningfully. Social skills: The employee is made to learn about himself and others, and to develop a right mental attitude towards the job, colleagues and the company. The principal focus is on teaching the employees hoe to be a teach member and get ahead. TYPES OF TRAINING: There many approaches to training. We focus here on the types of training that are commonly employed in present day organizations. Skills Training: This type of training is most common in the organization. The process here is fairly simple. The need for training in basic skills (such as reading, writing, computing, speaking, listening, problem soloing, man gaining oneself, knowing how to learn, working as part of a team, leading others) is identified through assessment. Specific training objectives are set and training content is developed to meet those objectives. Several methods are available for imparting these basic skills in modern organization (such as lecture, apprenticeship, on- the job, coaching etc). SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 20
  • 21. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Refresher Training: Rapid changes in technology may force companies to go in for this kind of training. By organizing short term course which in corporate that latest development in a particular field, the company may keep its employees up-to-date and ready to take on emerging challenges. It is conducted at regular intervals by taking the help of outside consultants who specialize in a particular descriptive. Cross – functional Training: Cross functional training involves training employees to perform operations in areas other than their assigned job. There are many approaches to cross functional training. Job rotation can be used to provide a manager in one functional area with a broader perspective than he would otherwise have. Department can exchange personnel for a certain period so that each employee understands how other department functions. Team Training: Team training generally covers two areas: content task and group processes. Content tasks specify the team‟s goal such as cost control and problem solving. Group processes reflect the way the member function as team – for example how they interact with other, how they sort out difference, how they participate etc. Diversity Training: Diversity training considers all of the diverse dimensions in the work place – race, gender, age lifestyles, culture, education, ideas, and background- while designing training programmes. It aims to create better cross – cultural sensitivity with the aims of fostering more harmonious and fruitful working relationship among firm‟s employees. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 21
  • 22. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT TRAINING METHODS: Training methods are usually classified by the location of instruction. On the job training is provided when the workers are taught relevant knowledge, skill and abilities at the actual workplace. Off-the-job training on the other hand, requires that trainees learn at a location other than the real work spot. 1. Job Instruction Training (JIT) The JIT method is a four – step instructional preparation, presentation, and performance try out and follow up. It is used primarily to teach workers how to do their current jobs. A Trainer, supervisor or co- worker acts as the coach. The four steps followed in the JIT methods are: i. The trainee receives an overview of the job, its purpose and its desired outcomes, with clear focus on the relevance of training. ii. The trainer demonstrates the job in order to give the employee a model to copy. iii. Next, the employee is permitted to copy the trainer‟s way. Demonstrates by the trainer and practice by the trainee are repeated until the trainee masters the right way to handle the job. iv. Finally, the employee does job independently without supervision. 1. Coaching : Coaching is a kind of daily training and feedback given to employee by immediate supervision. It involves a continuous process of learning by doing. It may defined as an informal, unplanned training and development activity provided by supervisor and peers. In coaching, the supervisor explain things and answer questions; he throws light on why things are done the way they are; SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 22
  • 23. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT he offers a model for trainees to copy ; conducts lot of decision making meeting with trainees; procedure are agreed upon and the trainees is given enough authority to make divisions and even commit mistakes. Coaching can be taxing job in that the coach may not possess requisite skills to guide the learner in a systematic way. Sometimes, doing a full day‟s work may be more important than putting the learner on track. 2. Mentoring: Mentoring is relationship in which a senior manager in organization assumes the responsibility for grooming a junior person. Technical, interpersonal and political skills are generally conveyed in such a relationship from the more experienced person. A mentor is a teacher, suppose, counselor, developer of skills and intellect, host, guide exemplar and most importantly, supporter and facilitator in the realization of the vision the young person has about the kind of life he wants as an adult. The main objective of mentoring is to help an employee attain psychological maturity and effectiveness and get integrated with the organization. 3. Job rotation: This kind of training involves the movement of trainee one job to another. This helps him to have a general understanding of how the organization functions. The purpose of job rotation is to provide trainees with a larger organizational perspective and a greater understanding of different functional areas as well as a better sense if their own career objectives and interests. Apart from reliving boredom, job rotation allows trainees to build rapport cooperation among departments. The cross-trained personnel offer a great amount of flexibility for organizations when transfers, promotions or replacement become inevitable. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 23
  • 24. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT 4. Apprenticeship Training: Most croft workers such as plumbers and carpenters are trained through formal apprenticeship programmes. Apprentices are trainees who spend a prescribed amount of time working with an experienced guide, coach or trainer. Apprenticeships and internships are similar to apprenticeship because that also demand high levels of participation from the trainee. An internship is a kind of on the job training that usually combines job training with classroom instruction in trade schools, colleges or universities. It is also likely that it in these of rapid changes I technology, old skills may get outdated quickly. Trainees who spend years learning specific skills may find, upon completion of their programmes, that the job skills they acquired are no longer appropriate. OFF-THE- JOB METHODS: Under this method of training, the trainee is separated from the job situation ad his attention is focused upon learning the materials related to his future job performance. There is an opportunity for freedom of expression for the trainees. Off-the-job methods are as follows: a) Vestibule Training: In this method, actual work conditions are simulated in a class room. Material, files and equipment- those that are used in actual job performance are also used in the training. This type of training is commonly used for training personnel for clerical and semi-skilled jobs. The duration of this training range from a few days to a few weeks. Theory can be related to practice in this method. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 24
  • 25. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT b) Role playing: It is defined as method of human interaction that involves realistic behavior in imaginary situations. This method of training involves action, doing and practice. The participants play the role of certain characters such as the production manager, mechanical engineer, superintendents, maintenance engineer, quality control inspector, foremen, workers and the like. This method is mostly used for developing interpersonal interactions and relations. c) Lecture method: The lecture is a traditional and direct method of instruction. The instructor organizes the material and gives it to a group of trainees in the form of a talk. To be effective, the lecture must motivate and create interest among the trainees. An advantage of lecture method is direct and can be used for a large group of trainees. Thus, costs and time involved are reduced. The major limitation of the lecture method is that it does not provide for transfer of training effectively. d) Conference / discussion approach: In this method, the trainers deliver a lecture and involve the trainee in a discussion so that his doubts about the job get clarified. When big organization use this method, the trainer uses audio-visual aids such as black board, mock ups and slides; in some cases the lecture are videotapes or audio taped. Even the trainee‟s presentation can be taped for self confrontation and self- assessment. The conference is, thus a group-centered where there is a clarification of ideas, communication of procedures and standards to the trainees. Those individuals who have a general educational background and whatever specific skills are required- such as typing, shorthand, office equipment operation, filling, indexing, recording etc- may be provided with specific instructions to handle their respective jobs. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 25
  • 26. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT e) Programmed Instruction: This method has becomes popular in recent years. The subject matter to be learned is presented in a series of carefully planned sequential units. These units are arranged from simple to more complex levels of instructions. The trainee goes through these units by answering questions or filling the blanks. This method is, thus, expensive and time-consuming. NEED FOR TRAINING: Training is the act of improving one‟s knowledge and skill to improve his/her job performance. Training is job – oriented. It bridges the gap between what the employee has and what the job demands. For that matter, imparting to employees working in all organized sectors of human activity is longer a matter of debate. The need for training has been recognized as essential activity not only in the business organizations, but also in academic institution, professional bodies and the government department. IMPARTANCE OF TRAINING: The importance of training can best be appreciated with the help of various advantages it offers to both employees and employer. 1. Better performance: Training improves employee‟s ability and skills, in turn improves employee‟s performance both in quality and quantity. Better or increased employee performance directly leads to increased operational productivity and increased SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 26
  • 27. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT organizational profits. Improvements in employee performance / productivity in development countries lend support to this statement. 2. Improved Quality: In formal training programmes, the best methods of performing jobs are standardized and then taught to employees. This offers two – fold benefits. Firstly uniformity in work performance helps improve the quality of work or service. Secondly better informed or say trained workers are less likely to make operational mistakes. 3. Less supervision: A trained worker is self reliant. He knows his work and way to perform it well. Therefore, his work requires less supervision. The supervision can devote his time on more urgent works. 4. Less learning period: A well planned and systematically organized training programmes reduces the time and cost involved in learning. Training enables to avoid waste of time and efforts in learning through trial and error method. 5. High morale: Training not only improves the ability and skills of the employees, but also changes employees‟ attitude towards positive. Higher performance, job satisfaction, job security and avenues for internal promotion lead to high morale among the employees. High morale, in turn, makes employees more loyal to the organization. 6. Personal Growth: Training improves employee‟s ability knowledge and skills and thus, prevents employee‟s obsolesce. This makes employees growth- oriented. 7. Favorable Organizational Climate: SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 27
  • 28. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT The aforesaid advantage combined lead to improves and favorable organizational climate characterized by better industrial relation and disciplines, reduced resistance to change, reduced absenteeism and turnover of employees and improves stability of organization. STEP IN TRAINING PROGRAMMES The various step activities involved in developing training programmes can be broadly classified into five steps as follows; 1. Identification of training needs 2. Setting training objectives 3. Designing training methods 4. Administration of training programmes 5. Evaluation of training Training could be traced far back at the Stone Age when people used to transfer knowledge in particular activity through signs and deeds to others. It was only during industrial revolution the formal and vocational training was started to instruct the apprentices about the about the operation of machines. Since then there is no looking back in this regard. Today training has become the most important organizational activity not only in the business organizations but in the educational institution also. It is fact that many organizations have realized the need of the training created infrastructure and provided financial support. The result of many training programmes have been far less than the desired ones because of non-alignment of training programmes with the overall human resources development (HRD) strategies of the organization.

New Mangalore Port is well connected by Rail, Road and Air and is strategically placed. The New Mangalore Port is popularly known as “THE GATEWAY OF KARNATAKA. Historical background: Even though the Minor Port of Mangalore was one among the 19 such ports in the state of Karnataka with a sea-coast of 285 k/ms, the Mangalore Port had a long maritime history of its own as is evident from the fact that the geographer Ptolemy of second century AD has made a mention of Mangalore in his travelogue. The old port of Mangalore had played a vital role in the golden ore of Karnataka when it served as an important gateway to the illustrious Hindu Empire of Vijayanagar for brisk trade in silk and spices. Being a natural outlet of strategic importance, Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan the former rulers of Mysore maintained a dockyard and arsenal at Mangalore in 18th century. The defeat of Tippu Sultan by the British brought this region of south Karnataka under presidency of Madras Province and this position was retained till the re-organization of the state in 1956, when the South Kanara and other were merged with Karnataka state.

  • 37. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER - 2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 37
  • 38. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW OF LITERATURE A review of literature on evaluation of training was conducted to identify methods of effectiveness evaluation for training programs. Five definitions of evaluation were identified in the literature. Kirkpatrick (1971) Kirkpatrick‟s first level of measurement, reaction, is defined as how well the trainees liked the training program. The second measurement level, learning, is designated as the determination of what knowledge, attitudes, and skills were learned in the training. The third measurement level is defined as behavior. Behavior outlines a relationship of learning (the previous measurement le vel) to the actualization of doing. Kirkpatrick recognized a big difference between knowing principles and techniques and using those principles and techniques on the job. The fourth measurement level, results, is the expected outcomes of most educational training programs such as reduced costs, reduced turnover and absenteeism, reduced grievances, improved profits or morale, and increased quality and quantity of production. Paquet,Kasl, Weinstein, & Waite, (1987). One study was found by a major corporation that measured change in productivity and ROI of a training program. CIGNA Corporation‟s corporate management development and training department, which provides training for employees of CIGNA Corporation‟s operating subsidiaries, initiated an evaluation program to prove management training made a business contribution. The research question posed was, “Does management training result in improved productivity in the SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 38
  • 39. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT manager‟s workplace?” The team conducting the research identified that data collection needed to be built into the training program for optimal data gathering. If managers could use the evaluation data for their own benefit as part of their training, they would be more likely to cooperate. Paulet & Moult, 1987 British Airways assessed the effectiveness of the Managing People First (MPF) training by measuring the value shift, commitment, and empowerment of the trainees. An in-depth interview was used to measure the action potential (energy generated in the participants by the course) and level of action as a result of the course. A want level was used to measure the action potential and a do level for the action. Each measurement was assigned a value of high, medium, or low. However, high, medium, and low were not defined. Robert (1988) in his study “The Pygmalion Effect” personal journal describes the “Pygmalion Effect” or the “Behavior Science Principle” which states that an employees‟ success is directly related to the company‟s expectation. Good management training practice is discussed. Such as recognizing employees potential for improved performance showing confidence in the staff marinating an in-going dialogue setting, high performance standards complimenting, criticizing constructively and with empathy, helping people advance and overcome self- defects. Alliger and Horowitz (1989) Numerous studies reported use of components of the Kirkpatrick Model; however, no study was found that applied all four levels of the model. Although level one is the least complex of the measures of evaluation developed by SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 39
  • 40. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Kirkpatrick, no studies were found that reported use of level one as a sole measure of training. One application of the second level of evaluation, knowledge, was reported by. In this study the IBM Corporation incorporated knowledge tests into internally developed training. To ensure the best design, IBM conducted a study to identify the optimal test for internally developed courses. Four separate tests composed of 25 questions each were developed based on ten key learning components. Four scoring methods were evaluated including one that used a unique measure of confidence. The confidence measurement assessed how confident the trainee was with answers given. Bushnell (1990) also created a modification to the Kirkpatrick Model by identifying a four-step process of evaluation. Bushnell‟s model included evaluation of training from the development through the delivery and impact. Step one involved the analysis of the System Performance Indicators that included the trainee‟s qualifications, instructor abilities, instructional materials, facilities, and training dollars. Step two involved the evaluation of the development process that included the plan, design, development, and delivery. Step three was defined as output which equated to the first three levels of the Kirkpatrick Model. Step three involves trainees‟ reactions, knowledge and skills gained, and improved job performance. Bushnell separated outcomes or results of the training into the fourth step. Outcomes were defined as profits, customer satisfaction, and productivity. This model was applied by IBM‟s global education network, although specific results were not found in the literature. Phillips (1991) stated the Kirkpatrick Model was probably the most well known framework for classifying areas of evaluation. This was confirmed in 1997 when the America Society for Training and Development (ASTD) assessed the nationwide prevalence of the importance of measurement and evaluation to human SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 40
  • 41. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT resources department (HRD) executives by surveying a panel of 300 HRD executives from a variety of types of U.S. organizations. Survey results indicated the majority (81%) of HRD executives attached some level of importance to evaluation and over half (67%) used the Kirkpatrick Model. The most frequently reported challenge was determining them impact of the training (ASTD, 1997). Lookatch (1991) and ASTD (2002) reported that only one in ten organizations attempted to gather any results-based evaluation. In 1952, Donald Kirkpatrick (1996) conducted doctoral research to evaluate a supervisory training program. Kirkpatrick‟s goal was to measure the participants‟ reaction to the program, the amount of learning that took place, the extent of behavior change after participants returned to their jobs, and any final results from a change in behavior achieved by participants after they returned to work. Wagner & Roland, (1992). Over 20 organizations and 5,000 participants were studied. Three measures were used to determine behavioral changes. Measure one was a questionnaire completed by participant s both before and after training. The second measure was supervisory reports completed on the functioning of work groups before and after training. The third measure was interviews with managers, other than the immediate supervisor, to obtain reactions to individual and work- group performance after an OBERT program. Results reported showed no significant changes in behavior. Hopkins (1995) There are several ways managers can use professional development to increase the competence, skills, and leadership capacity of their employees. One way to do this involves managers encouraging employees to pursue continuing education SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 41
  • 42. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT opportunities and/or empowering employees through various leadership opportunities within the organization. Singh has conducted a study on “Attitude Change through Training” in 1998. The study was conducted with the thirty five officers from different central/state government/ public sector units/ nationalized banks. And the study was conducted to explore the impact of importing behavioral skill through training programme resulting impersonalized attitude and co-operative attitude. Results reveal that training led to change in attitudes. Experimental training and belief in the source of communication, facilitated attitude change. Kirkpatrick, (1998) From Kirkpatrick‟s doctoral research, the concept of the four Kirkpatrick measurement levels of evaluation emerged. While writing an article about training in 1959, Kirkpatrick (1996) referred to these four measurement levels as the four steps of a training evaluation. It is unclear even to Kirkpatrick how these four steps became known as the Kirkpatrick Model, but this description persists today). As reported in the literature, this model is most frequently applied to either educational or technical training. Holli and Calabrese (1998) defined evaluation as comparisons of an observed value or quality to a standard or criteria of comparison. Evaluation is the process of forming value judgments about the quality of programs, products, and goals. Kirkpatrick (1998) recommended that as many as possible of the four levels of evaluation be conducted. In order to make the best use of organizational resources SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 42
  • 43. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT of time, money, materials, space, equipment, and manpower, continued efforts are needed to assess all levels of effectiveness of training programs. Trainers from all disciplines should develop evaluation plans for training and share the results of these initiatives. Jan (1999) in his study “Training and Development” reveals that a majority of training programme relay that a majority of training programme relay on western technique. Traditional Vedic approaches to knowledge focusing on the relation of the athma, pure consciousness serves as the creativity and intelligence should be viewed as an alternative approach to conduct training. Warr, Allan and Birdie (1999) evaluated a two-day technical training course involving 123 mo tor-vehicle technicians over a seven- month period in a longitudinal study using a variation of the Kirkpatrick Model. The main objective of this study was to demonstrate that training improved performance, thereby justifying the investment in the training as appropriate. Warr et al.(1999) suggested that the levels in the Kirkpatrick Model may be interrelated. They investigated six trainee features and one organizational characteristic that might predict outcomes at each measurement level. The six trainee features studied were learning motivation, confidence about the learning task, learning strategies, technical qualifications, tenure, and age. The one organizational feature evaluated was transfer climate which was defined as the extent to which the learning from the training was actually applied on the job. Boulmetis and Dutwin (2000) defined evaluation as the systematic process of collecting and analyzing data in order to determine whether and to what degree objectives were or are being achieved. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 43
  • 44. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Phillips and Pulliam (2000) reported an additional measure of training effectiveness,return on investment (ROI), was used by companies because of the pressures placed on Human Resource Departments to produce measures of output for total quality management (TQM) and continuous quality improvements (CQI) and the threat of outsourcing due to downsizing. Great debate was found in the training and development literature about the use of ROI measures of training programs. Many training and development professionals believed that ROI was too difficult and unreliable a measure to use for training evaluation (Barron, 1997). A study was conducted by HUMAN CAPITAL (2001); a leading pesticides company provided excellent training for sales executives on selling techniques. The trainees felt that they could make use of the selling techniques with great advantage in the market place. Regional managers made no efforts to follow up new ideas and suggestions. Consequently, sales executives were unable to adapt techniques learned during the training program. Schalock (2001) defined effectiveness evaluation as the determination of the extent to which a program has met its stated performance goals and objectives. Stufflebeam (2001) defined evaluation as a study designed and conducted to assist some audience to assess an object's merit and worth. Stufflebeam's (2001) definition of evaluation was used to assess the methods of evaluation found in this literature review. The reason for selecting Stufflebeam‟s definition was based on the applicability of the definition across multiple disciplines. Based on this definition of evaluation, the Kirkpatrick Model was the most frequently reported model of evaluation. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 44
  • 45. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Radhakrishna, Plank, and Mitchell (2001) used a learning style instrument (LSI) and a demographic profile in addition to reaction measures and learning measures. The three training objectives were to assess knowledge gained through a Web-based training, to determine participant reaction to Web-based material and Listserv discussions, and to describe both the demographic profile and the learning style of the participants. The evaluation of the training began with an on- line pretest and an on- line LSI. The pretest included seven demographic questions. The LSI, pretest and posttest, and LSI questionnaire were paired by the agent's social security numbers. Fifty- five agents of the available (106) agents completed all four instruments and were included in this study. According to Heathfield (2001) there six tips to which helps training and development that will transfer skills back to the job. Provide information for the employee about exactly what training session will involve, prior to the training. Explain what is expected of the employees at the training session. Make clear to the employee that the training is OMS responsibility and she needs to take the training seriously. Make sure that internal or external training providers supply pre-training assignments. Reading or thought- provoking exercises in advance of the session promote thoughtful consideration of training content. Exercises or self assessment, provided and scored in advance of the session, save precious training time for interaction and new information. Train supervisors and managers either first or simultaneously so they know and understand the skills and information provided in the training session. SRINIVAS INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MANGALORE Page 45
  • 46. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Ask supervisors to meet with employees prior to the training session. Determine if key learning points are important for the organization in return for the investment of his time in the training. Identify any obstacles the employee may expect to experience as he transfers the training to the workplace. Fancsali (2002) Recommends that staff development occur on an ongoing basis. More specifically, the National Staff Development Council suggests that “educators” spend at least a quarter of their work time on staff development activities (Richardson 1997). Bozionelos (2002) Placing employees in staff mentorship positions as mentors is another method that has been identified as increasing employees‟ skills and efficiency, while also enhancing their reputation among managers, which can lead to greater career success. Astroth (2004) Recommend that training should address what the position entails and the skills necessary for competency. Jackson (2006) With regard to scheduling staff development, suggests that the timing of staff development can affect the success of the development program, itself. Consequently, she recommends that the timing of the training schedule be developed with consideration of staff needs and wants. In terms of strategies for effective implementation. As for the ideal format of staff development, recommends that trainings focus on the “main points” and take into account diverse learning modalities, by including “hands on” activities as well as time for discussion and questions.

  • 47. A STUDY ON TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Current Training Needs for Staff Given the importance of a strong staff in shaping successful youth development programs, Astroth and Taylor (2004) report on the National Collaboration for Youth‟s (NCY) efforts to define what successful youth workers are doing. Essentially, NCY reviewed existing competencies circulating in the field, sought feedback from many youth-serving organizations 8 and their staff, and ultimately decided on a set of ten core competencies that “entry-level workers, including part- time and full-time staff and volunteers, should possess when they begin a job or should acquire during the first few years to be effective when working with youth,” According to a report published by the Community Network for Youth Development, the fast growing need for skilled youth workers highlights the fact that there is little professional development support for these workers. Little to no new skill development, low compensation and unclear career ladders may force youth workers to move from job to job in order to obtain higher wages and/or new skills and creating barriers for recruitment. Furthermore, this high turnover detrimentally affects the youth they serve. California is among several states creating professional support groups, youth development worker mentorship programs, standards, core competencies for training, opportunities for higher education, and clearer career pathways for youth workers. In fact, the CNYD report, “Moving from Knowledge to Action in San Francisco: Creating a Comprehensive Youth Work Professional Workforce System” lists a number of Bay P.C.

Formerly, it was thought that the training of personnel was unnecessary on the ground that the new employees would gradually pick up all the particulars of the job. But as the processes and techniques of production are becoming more and more complicated, it is being increasingly released that the formal training is very important not only for new recruit‟s bus also for existing employees. Training function, in fact, has become the corner stone of sound management.(Principles of Management page no 176 3rd edition Tata McGraw- Hill publishing company limited New Delhi.) K ASWATHAPPA (2008) In simple terms, training and development refer to the imparting of specific skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee. “More clearly, training and development may be understood as any attempt to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an employee‟s ability to perform through learning, usually by changing the employee‟s attitude or increasing his or her skills and knowledge. The need for training and development is determined by the employee‟s performance deficiency, computed as follows: Training and development need = standard performance – Actual performance.” (Human resource management page no 206, 5th edition Tata McGraw-Hill publishing company limited New Delhi.) According to Dr. N. Venkateshwara Rao Acharya Nagarjuna University, A need for HRD, HRD times oct.(2006) Pp.23: training is another sub system.

Based on study conducted by Dr.K.N.Ramanuram, Annamalai Nagar, Management role in productivity HRD times may- (2006) Pp 31 denotes that training In a short- term process utilizing a systematic and organizing procedure by which non- managerial personal learn technical knowledge‟s and skills for a definite purpose of course, all the employees entering the enterprise could not at once learn a new technology. There in a need for adequate training to employees, it is sure and certain that will increase per head productivity in the long run. Beyond Training: Training and Development Carter (2003) reported that training is generally defines as “ change in behavior” – Yet, how many trainers and managers forget that, using the term training only as applicable to “ skills training”? What about the human element? What about those very same people we want to “train”? What about their individual beliefs, backgrounds, ideas, needs, and aspiration? In order to achieve long – term results through training, they broaden their vision to include people development as part of our strategic planning.

Training is employed as techniques of control and also gives information for developing new skills of a job. The primary concern of any organization is to respond to this pressure, it may find itself rapidly losing whatever share of the market it has. The employee training imparts specific skills and knowledge to the employees, so that they contribute to the organization efficiency and be able to cope with the pressure of a changing environment. Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the problem. In order to find out the truth involved in or problems, certain steps must be taken. In a certain order and the ordered steps are called a method. This research methodology is very essential.
