Descrizione Training in Organizations
Training and development programs have become an inseparable part of the policy of many organizations. The more the organization develops, the greater the demands from the training system, and the higher the cost. Despite the enormous expense, research has shown that only asmall fraction of the investment yields effective outcomes at work, mostly because of inattention to and ignorance of the personal and organizationalfactors that affect training effectiveness. This book has three major purposes: the first is to expand theoretical knowledge on training in organizations. I draw on a new approach to HRM, the contingent approach, which emphasizes the importance of studying the unique characteristics of a focal organization in order to understand the impact of training. The aim is to present a broaden-spectrum model to explain training in organizations through a variety of circumstances: personal, organizationaland cultural. The second purpose is to evaluate the role of the trainer as an ad hoc leader. The third goal is to add a cross-cultural examination to training, which will demonstrate the unique cultural condition that enhances investment in training.
