Improving Training Effectiveness in Work Organizations

This book presents the work of researchers dealing with current issues in training and training effectiveness in work organizations. Each chapter provides an integrative summary of a research area with the goal of developing a specific research agenda that will stimulate thinking in the training field as well as direct future research. By concentrating on new ideas and critical methodological and measurement issues rather than summarizing existing literature, it offers definitive suggestions for advancing the effectiveness of the training field. The chapters focus on emerging issues in training that have important implications for improving both training design and efficacy. They discuss various levels of analysis -- intra-individual, inter-individual, team, and organizational issues -- and the factors relevant to achieving a better understanding of training effectiveness from these different perspectives.
