Sample and Data Collection Data for this study was collected using a questionnaire from a sample of previous participants in the ILO hospitality training programs. The ILO project has implemented a series of training workshops aimed at improving competitiveness of hospitality sector. Each training workshop was delivered over five continues full training days during March and December 2015. Twenty one training workshops were conducted for a total of 435 participants from 74 hotels and resorts in the Red Sea Governorate. Stratified random sample was used in the current study. The population (435 training beneficiaries) is divided into 21 stratums representing all training workshops. The researcher received the lists of training …show more content…
A small proportion of respondents (4%) was above 50 years old, and only 2% of respondents were under 25 years old. The age distribution of respondents clearly shows that the training activities addressed the supervisory and managerial levels of staff. Males were dominant among the total trainees with 96% of all participants. This result is expected as very low representation of women in the tourism workforce especially in hotel positions in the Red Sea region due to location. Regarding the educational level of respondents, the majority of respondents (69%) have university degree and only 31% of the respondents have technical high school degree. This is a normal result due to that the project addressed in this activity the supervisory and managerial level of hotel staff. 4.2 Research Instrument The questionnaire used in this study was divided into two sections; the first section addressed demographic variables. The second section asked employees about their evaluation of the capacity built due to training (11 items), capacity utilized by the organization (12 items), and the impact of training on personal development, customer, organization and policy (14 items). A 5-point Likert scale was employed in all scales. The developed questionnaire was pilot tested with a sample of 30 training beneficiaries by phone and following pre-testing, minor amendments were made. The result of reliability test revealed that all Cronbach’s α exceeded
The evaluation of training consists of a reaction, learning, behavior, and results. Results determine how much the trainee liked the program. Learning outlines what facts and concepts were learned. Behavior determines if the program had an effect on the behavior(s) of the trainees. And results highlight what was accomplished as a result of the program, i.e. reduction of turnover or cost. Evaluating a training program allows for an employer to identify and correct areas in which improvement is needed. In order accomplish company goals employees must be trained effectively. Training cannot be an afterthought; it should be planned and implemented correctly. Career Development Strategies
In order to provide the Australia Park Victoria with the appropriate data to solve its current crisis, the most appropriate method of data collection for this research is the qualitative method. According to Gay and Airasian (p 627) qualitative method is the collection of extensive data on various variables over a long time in a natural setting with an aim of acquiring insights not possible using other methods. It involves three different kinds of information collection: direct observation, in depth and open-ended interviews and written documents. Qualitative method involves use of random sampling and structured data collection instruments that fit different experiences. The method also enables the researcher to study the specific area of
The purpose of this study was to identify the training needs among employees of Public sector bank. In the current dynamic business environment training has become indispensable. The biggest challenge of human resource managers is to train the employees to produce desired results. In the cyclical process of training, training needs analysis is the first step which analyses the areas where training is essential. Total 100 respondents responded to the pre-tested questionnaire, for which Cronbach’s Alpha was calculated to confirm its reliability, which resulted in the score of 0.860. The major findings and evaluation have been done by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).The findings can be used to design future competency
Most organizations do not follow-up on the benefits of training as regards staff performance. As a result of this they don’t take training and development as an important factor in organizational growth and survival. Most manages do not know how to assess the return on investment in training, nor are they equipped with the necessary management tools to monitor the decision making process of such investment. It has been discovered that training and development budget is the first cut when the organization is faced with difficulties because most of them are of the opinion that investment in the area of training and development is not linked to the bottom line of the business. Globalization and rapid technological development has changed the conditions for companies and increased competition in the world markets. The quality of a company’s human resources is the key driver for sustained top-level performance. It has become crucial to continually invest in human resource development in order to guarantee success in the global market. As earlier said, managers engage in minimal training thereby not giving quality training to their employees, this in turn affects the overall outcome of the training and the performance of the staff. Most organizations that have a competitive image see more reasons to train their workers than those who are on the lower rung of the ladder of recognition, but training and development is still needed to create a niche. In the light of the above,
An Institutional Review Board (IRB) application will be submitted before conducting this study. Since the primary purpose of an interpretive phenomenology is to obtain rich, detailed, and first-person perspectives of phenomena, we will conduct semi-structured, in-depth, one-on-one interviews. A semi-structured interview will allow us, as the researchers, and nurses, as the participants, to engage (Pietkiewicz and Smith, 2014). This method also will provide more flexibility and spaces for the nurses to tell their stories that might be relevant about their experiences with the alarm sounds that are not captured by the questions we developed (Pietkiewicz and Smith, 2014).
2. Sufficient funding. The company gladly provides funds for professional development and implementation of service strategy. To perform its activities hotels should have various means of labor. The set of instruments of labor, operating in the hospitality industry, makes the material and technical base. Material and technical base is the basis for the development of the hotel industry, as it creates all the necessary conditions for serving guests a full
Training has always been an essential part of an organization’s efforts to recruit and effectively employ people on its ongoing processes. Training people to perform organizational task better is one thing and maintaining the organization as an ongoing system is another. Employee training programs in an organization are very important; they provide a focused training to employees who are either one time basis or a recurring basis. Training programs in an organization can either be developed in-house or the organization can opt to attend programs which are more generic such as colleges, universities or attend training centers, (Sims, 2002).
So, training is very necessary for the growth of the organization. Man, Machine and material are the main capital of the organization. (Ropesh 1959). An organization works because of man working over there. These men need to learn about the work they have to perform. Training is the key part of learning. Training has gained a lot of attraction by the researchers. Like, Gordon 1992, Beardwell, Holden & Claydon 2004 etc. has done much research on the topic of training and development. Training is a type of education and a trainer is not less than a teacher.
With the downturn of the economy, and the increase of globalization, organizations continuously are restructuring its operations to handle the company’s demands. Modern day organizations strive to stay ahead of the marketplace. As the workforce shifts from hard labor to knowledgeable workers, human resource management need to design and implement a strategic training program that not only teaches operational competency, but excellent job skills in the latest technology, industry and competition. In this case, as the appointed Training Director of Reliance Reliable LLC, I will be reviewing and evaluating the employee’s internal and external training program and giving my recommendation on three methods/models to improve training needs, assessments, and implementation strategies to be used as an inclusion in the new employees’ handbook.
The site for my interviews will be at the four elementary schools in the district. In order to obtain a purposeful sample outlined by Creswell, I must include all schools where the data analysis took place. Furthermore, I will need to choose with purpose whom I will interview with the intent that I develop a strategy to choose these individuals. For the purpose of this study, I should choose to interview teachers whose students participated in the SBA in the spring of 2017. While all teachers, K-5 may participate in the school climate survey, in order to answer the question of why, I will need to interview the teachers that administer the assessment.
This capstone project literature review will consist of historic and present studies of employee training. This capstone project is compiled of literal evidence on employee training from primary and secondary literal findings. According to Gills and Johnston, (1997) as cited by Saunders et al., (2007) the fact that, knowledge does not exist in vacuum has made the researcher visit as much literature on sited research problem. The secondary research is collected from peer reviewed articles; published books, library, online databases, and validated websites. There are several theories that the capstone will help future research by in-depth analysis of study outcome. The capstone focuses on past research work to gain better understanding of the framework for organizational training. The following Literature Review publications two of three are areas of strength as it relates to the
Use explanatory research – usually small-scale research undertaken to define the exact nature of the problem and to gain a better understanding of the environment which with the problem has occurred. Eg. What factors lead to brand loyalty? What is brand loyalty?
A researcher must think about the data collection and sample size in the early stages of the research process because it will affect the way the researcher analyzes the data. There are two main reasons a researcher should do it in the early stages. The first one is that the researcher cannot apply just any technique to any variable. The other one is the size and nature of your sample are likely to impose limitations on the kinds of techniques you can use (Bryman 2008).
In this study, we tested the empirical effect that a firm’s capital structure has on its corporate value by using a multiple regression estimator framework. All the financial data are obtained from the China Stock Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) Database. The sample used for this study are automobile firms listed on the A-share section of Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges. Because of significant differences between A and B stock markets in China and the lack of horizontal comparability of financial statements for companies listed in different markets, only A-share listed companies are selected. The determination of sample size is based on the availability of data. The steps followed to create the data sample are:
A training program that is well-designed is proven to achieve maximum results and meet the training needs identified during a training needs analysis. A well-executed training program will increase overall productivity and provide the knowledge, skills, and attitudes the employees need to perform successfully. This paper presents considerations for the design of a two-phase training program for existing employees – a two (2) day program, which covers the training needs to move the company in the right direction.
