People are industrys greatest assets and most important resource. Since most people use
only a percentage of their talents and abilities for them to realize their full potential is always
profitable for an organization.
Training is a learning process that involves the acquisition of knowledge, sharpening of
skills, concepts, rules, or changing of attitudes and behaviors to enhance the performance of
employees.
Indo Rama is one of the export oriented unit situated at the centre of India. Due to
various reasons the performance of the unit was not good in the past in terms of production
volume & profitability. This causes losses not only to the company stakeholders but to the
national productivity & economy in the long turn. Hence, this research study aims at ascertaining
the role of employee training in enhancing the employee performance/productivity at IRSL,
Nagpur.
Indorama training and development programs aim at making people realize their full
potential. This is achieved by improving their attitude and developing in them the capacity to
succeed in constantly changing situations through flexibility in thinking and approach. Also by
helping them become more self directed, developing ability to set and achieve goals and
enhancing key leadership skills.
Training is a critical component in any organization's strategy, but organizations don't
always evaluate the business impact of a training program. Given the large expenditures fortraining in many organizations, it is important to develop business intelligence tools that will
help companies improve the measurement of training effectiveness. These tools need to provide
a methodology to measure, evaluate, and continuously improve training, as well as the
organizational and technical infrastructure (systems) to implement the methodology.
The objectives of the research work are
To understand the concept of employee training.
Study the various Training programs conducted at IRSL, Nagpur during 2008-2009.
Ascertaining the effectiveness of these Training programs conducted at IRSL.
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be
understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. It is necessary for the
3

researcher to design his methodology for his problem as the same may differ from problem to
problem.
The methodology adopted for this project included literature survey as the first step. The
project theory has focused on training given to employee for their better performance on the
basis of previous performance level. Evaluation of training program done for fulfilling the
principal of cost analysis (CBA) and return on investment (ROI) to maintain credibility.
Training is now the important tool of Human Resource Management to control the
attrition rate because it helps in motivating employees, achieving their professional and personal
goals, increasing the level of job satisfaction, etc. As a result training is given on a variety of
skill development and covers a multitude of courses.
Evaluation is an integral part of training; Evaluation tools helps to determine the
effectiveness of training interventions. Despite its importance, many organizations do not give
adequate focus on training evaluation. Evaluation goal involves multiple purposes including
evaluation of learning, evaluation of instructional materials, transfer of training, return on
investment, and so on.
Program evaluation, conducted on a regular basis, can greatly improve the management
and effectiveness of your organization and its programs. To do so requires understanding the
differences between monitoring and evaluation, making evaluation an integral part of regular
program planning and implementation, and collecting the different types of information needed
by managers at different levels of the organization.
This research work is taken up with the intention of improving the productivity of the
IRSL unit which was facing some labour problems in the past. The data is collected by
questionnaires survey, interviews with the different sectional heads, companies policies, records,
exit interviews files.
By studying above here the researcher can conclude that there are need for
evaluating training program for improvement and efficiency of the employees performance and
demonstrate the overall value and worth of development activities

Introduction
Concept of Employee training
Organization and individual should develop and progress simultaneously for their survival
attainments of mutual goals. So, every modern management has to develop the organization
through human recourse development. Employee training is the most important sub-system of
5
8/2/2019 Nikita ingale complet
6/69
human recourses development. Training is a specialized function and is one of the fundamental
operative functions for human recourse management
The mission of Indoramas training programmes in to develop workers and staff into successful
leaders by improving their behavior, technical and general awareness skills. Based upon the
fundamental principle that success is the best teacher, our training programmes concentrate onmotivating the participants to succeed by developing a positive attitude. Since this is achieved
through an internal change in the self it is therefore, of a permanent nature rather than through
fear or incentive which are temporary, external and work in short run only.
Training department has divided the training programmes in three categories:
Behavioral training programme
Technical training programme
General awareness training programme
This year also company has identified its behavioral, technical and general awareness prorammes
for its workers and staffs.
Training is a critical component in any organization's strategy, but organizations don't always
evaluate the business impact of a training program. Given the large expenditures for training in
many organizations, it is important to develop business intelligence tools that will help
companies improve the measurement of training effectiveness. These tools need to provide a
methodology to measure, evaluate, and continuously improve training, as well as the
organizational and technical infrastructure (systems) to implement the methodology. Cross-
functional and reporting and learning analytics provide important connections between the
measures of learning effectiveness offered by a learning management system and the larger
enterprise metrics that indicate whether learning is transferred and positively affects business
results.
Training evaluation checks whether training has had the desired effect. Training evaluation
ensures that whether candidates are able to implement their learning in their respective
workplaces, or to the regular work routines.
The effectiveness of training is a measurement of learning. It is determined by comparing post-
test scores with pre-test scores and then measuring the net change. There are several methods to
measure thison a per-student basis, on a per-skill point base or on a per-dollar basis. Lets
look at the skill-point base, which measures the cost of raising a students skill by one unit."

Evaluation is the collection of analysis and interpretation of information about any
aspects of a program of education or training as part of a recognized process of judging
its effectiveness, its efficiency and any other outcomes it may have. Any training withoutan effective evaluation (quantitative and qualitative) will be a waste. Measuring the
effectiveness of training programs consumes valuable time and resources. This research

with training facilities in order to adjust him to the job. Training is the act of increasing the
knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a particular job. Training is a Short term
Educational process and utilizing a systematic organized procedure by which employees
learn technical knowledge and skill for a definite purpose.
Training is a process on learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is a application of
knowledge. According to Edwin D. Flippo, The purpose of training is to achieve a change
in the behavior of those trained and to enable them to do their jobs better.
Knowledge: it helps the trainee to know facts, policies, procedures and rules pertaining
to the job.
Skills: it helps to increased technical and mutual efficiency necessary for the job.
Attitude: it moulds behavior towards co-workers and supervisors to create a sense of
responsibility in the trainee.
Training and development

Training department has divided the training programmes in three categories:
Behavioral training programme
Technical training programme
General awareness training programme
Need for training program
An analysis of training need is an essential requirement to the design of effective training.
The purpose of training need analysis is to determine whether there is a gap between what
is required for effective performance and present level of performance
To match the employee specification with the job requirements and organizational
needs: Technological advantage Organizational complexity Human relations Changes in the job assignment
Why training need analysis?
Training need analysis is conducted to determine whether recourses required are available
or not. It helps to plan the budget of the company, areas where training is required, and also
highlights the occasions where training might not be appropriate but requires alternateaction.
Methods used in training needs assessment
Group or organizational analysis Individual analysis
Organizational goals and objectives Work sampling
Organizational climate indices Interviews
Efficiency indices Questionnaires
Exit interviews Attitude survey
MBO or work planning system Training progress
Quality circle Rating scales
Employee satisfaction Observation of behavior

Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is used to assess an organizations training needs. The root of
the TNA is the gap analysis. This is an assessment of the gap between the knowledge, skills and
attitudes that the people in the organization currently possess and the knowledge, skills and
attitudes that they require to meet the organizations objectives.
The training needs assessment is best conducted up front, before training solutions are budgeted,
designed and delivered. The output of the needs analysis will be a document that specifies why,
what, who, when, where and how. More specifically, the document will need to answer these
questions:
Why do people need the training?
What skills need imparting?
Who needs the training?
When will they need the new skills?
Where the training may be conducted? and
How may the new skills be imparted?
There are so many ways for conducting a Training Needs Analysis, depending on your situation.
One size does not fit all. Is the purpose of the needs assessment to:
lead in to a design of a specific purpose improvement initiative (e.g., customer complaint
reduction)
enable the design of the organizations training calendar
Identify training and development needs of individual staff during the performance
appraisal cycle and so on and so on.

Objectives of training
Training objectives are one of the most important parts of training program. While some people
think of training objective as a waste of valuable time. The counterargument here is that
resources are always limited and the training objectives actually lead the design of training. It
provides the clear guidelines and develops the training program in less time because objectives
focus specifically on needs. It helps in adhering to a plan.
To increased the skills and knowledge of the employees working on various jobs.
To improve the employee decision making ability.
To achieve the economy.
To prepare the employee, both new and old meet the present as well as the changing
requirements of the job and the organization.
Training objective tell the trainee that what is expected out of him at the end of the training
program. Training objectives are of great significance from a number of stakeholder
perspectives,
1.Trainer
2.Trainee
3.Designer
4. Evaluator
Evaluation of training program success should be measured in terms of the objectives. Objectivesfor training can be set in any areas necessary, by using one of the following dimensions.
Quantity of workresulting from training
Quality of workafter training
Timeliness of work after training
Cost saving as a result of training
METHODS OF TRAINING
Training methods is defined as A systematic procedure or techniques by which a skill is
developed in a person, employee of an organization. A combination of different methods of
training contributes to the effectiveness of the training program.

Trainers use a variety of training methods during delivery to facilitate learning. By altering the
training methods the trainer uses delivery; he can keep learners interested, activate different
learning style and enhance comprehension and retention.There are two broad types of training
available to small businesses: on-the-job and off-the-job techniques.
On-the-job training is delivered to employees while they perform their regular jobs. In this
way, they do not lose time while they are learning. After a plan is developed for what should be
taught, employees should be informed of the details. A timetable should be established with
periodic evaluations to inform employees about their progress. On-the-job techniques include
orientations, job instruction training, apprenticeships, internships and assistantships, job rotation
and coaching.
Off-the-job training include lectures, special study, films, television conferences or discussions,
case studies, role playing, simulation, programmed instruction and laboratory training. Most of
these techniques can be used by small businesses although, some may be too costly.
Training methods
On the job methods Off the job methods
Coaching Vestibule training
Job Rotation
Role playing
Apprenticeship Lecture method
Orientation Conference or discussion
Coaching
Coaching is a learning through on the job- experience. A manager can learn when he is put on a
specific job. He can learn better if he is given some guidance either in the form of coaching or
understudy.
22
8/2/2019 Nikita ingale complet
23/69
Job Rotation
Job rotation involves moving an employee through a series of jobs so he or she can get a good
feel for the tasks that are associated with different jobs. It is usually used in training for
supervisory positions. The employee learns a little about everything. This is a good strategy for
small businesses because of the many jobs an employee may be asked to do. Such movement
may be for a period ranging from 6 months to 2 years.
Apprenticeship
Apprenticeships develop employees who can do many different tasks. They usually involve
several related groups of skills that allow the apprentice to practice a particular trade, and they
take place over a long period of time in which the apprentice works for, and with, the senior
skilled worker. Apprenticeships are especially appropriate for jobs requiring production skills
Orientations
Orientations are for new employees. The first several days on the job are crucial in the success of
new employees. This point is illustrated by the fact that 60 percent of all employees who quit do
so in the first ten days. Orientation training should emphasize the following topics:
The company's history and mission.
The key members in the organization.
The key members in the department, and how the department helps fulfill the mission of
the company.
Personnel rules and regulations.
Vestibule Training
The concept of vestibule school/training center is that people will learn and develop skills while
working in the institutions similar to what they will face after they are put on the actual job.
Vestibule training consists of two parts First, there is lecture method which is conducted in class
rooms meant for this purpose. Second, there is practical exercise based on the theoretical aspects
in a workshop.
23

Role Playing
.
Role playing and simulation are training techniques that attempt to bring realistic decision
making situations to the trainee. Likely problems and alternative solutions are presented for
discussion. The adage there is no better trainer than experience is exemplified with this type of
training. Experienced employees can describe real world experiences, and can help in and learn
from developing the solutions to these simulations. This method is cost effective and is used in
marketing and management training.
Lectures
.
Lectures present training material verbally and are used when the goal is to present a great deal
of material to many people. It is more cost effective to lecture to a group than to train people
individually. Lecturing is one-way communication and as such may not be the most effective
way to train. Also, it is hard to ensure that the entire audience understands a topic on the same
level; by targeting the average attendee you may under train some and lose others. Despite these
drawbacks, lecturing is the most cost-effective way of reaching large audiences.
Management Game
Management game, or business game, is another popular technique which is used at management
education level or at management development level.
Training programs
The mission of Indoramas training programmes is to develop workers and staff into successful
leaders by improving their behavior, technical and general awareness skills. Based upon thefundamental principle that success is the best teacher, our training programmes concentrate on
motivating the participants to succeed by developing a positive attitude. Since this is achieved
through an internal change in the self it is therefore, of a permanent nature rather than through
fear or incentive which are temporary, external and work in short run only.

Every year company invests money on development of their employees by conducting training
and development programs and nominating its employees for external training. On the basis of
training needs assessment and appraisal, training department prepares training plan for one year
in which they identify the training and development programme to be conducted.
A training program is an ongoing progress and its trust has been changing from time to time,
depending upon the current needs of the organization. Training program in the true sense do not
begin and end with the program schedule/ time table.
Constructing a Training Calendar
Training calendars are the best suited to repeatable and regular demand, such as refresher skills
training for infrequently performed technical tasks and for new recruits joining the organization.In these cases, review what training is required on a regular basis and look at what new recruits
need to be proficient at soon after they join any organization. Generally, consult with
management team by checking off which of the following areas require inclusion in training
calendar:
management, leadership and supervision skills
soft skills, such as communication and conflict resolution
environment, health and safety
human resource processes, such as performance management
business skills, such as strategy, planning and process improvement
technical line and staff skills such as telephone etiquette and inventory management

Training budget
The principle management control over training is the budget. The budget for training can be
best measured in terms of training effectiveness. A budget must be realistic, in accordance with
the mission and the assigned training responsibilities.
Training budget is a statement showing the estimate cash outflow of training department over a
given period of time. Indorama estimates its training budget for one year i.e. from April 1 to
march 31.
Following are the expenses of Indoramas training and development department.

It is useful to track trainings full costs according to eight phases: administration, research and
development, analysis, design, development, delivery, evaluation and marketing.
Cost for each training program:
Personnel cost: for people involved in the training project including in-house subject
matter experts and outside fees and expences
Outside purchase of goods and services: for materials and supplies brought from an
outside provider for a specific training program.
Facilities costs for the use of rental facilities such as classroom, research and
development laboratories or work shops.
Incidental expences for travel and daily expenses allowances during a training program.

Evaluation of training program
Evaluation is the collection of analysis and interpretation of information about any aspects of a
programme of education or training as part of a recognized process of judging its effectiveness,
its efficiency and any other outcomes it may have.
Any training without an effective evaluation (quantitative and qualitative) will be a waste.
Post training evaluation is necessary to measure whether the expenses on training have become
an investment on people or an unnecessary cost to the organization. This would also aid in
making suitable modification to the current program and develop them further. Training program
must evaluate for fulfilling the principle of cost benefit analysis (CBA) and return on investment
(ROI) to maintain credibility.
The assessment of the total value of a training system, training course or program in social as
well as financial terms, evaluation differs from validation in that it attempts to measure the
overall cost benefit of the course or program and not merely the achievement of its laid down
objectives.
Evaluation of training is very important in order to establish credibility of two phases, one
immediately and other preferably after 3 month, to gauge at two levels:
Training efficiency
Short-term effectiveness
Training efficiency:
Training efficiency is evaluated in Indorama by assessing the feedback form filled by the
participant in the end of the training programme.
31
8/2/2019 Nikita ingale complet
32/69
Short-term effectiveness:
In Indorama short term effectiveness is measure by compairing pre and post training
assessment. Before the training programme, pre training assessment form is filled by
departmental head and after 90 days of training programme, post training assessment
form, we evaluate short-term effectiveness.
The purpose of evaluation is to determine whether or not the training achieved the desired
objective. The objective might have been very precise, or extremely loose, but there would have
been one. This is usually set as a result ofassessing training needs. Evaluating training will help
show how effective it was at meeting the objective.
All organizations, regardless of size or type, should use some process of assessing the
effectiveness of training undertaken by employees. Education in any form is an investment of
time and money, which makes it important that the organization establishes, as far as it can, the
return on that investment.
Benefits of Training Evaluation
There are a number of reasons why organizations proactively monitor the effectiveness of
employee education. These are:
Helps employees to monitor their own improvement.
Builds morale, by demonstrating an interest in staff development.
To maximize the training ROI (return on investment).
Helps to determine the form of future training programs.
Assists with identifying the effectiveness of different forms of teaching (such as
classroom based or web based).
Organizations that train but do not evaluate that training cannot be certain of its value, either tothemselves or their employees.

Evaluation criteriaThe criteria for evaluation depends on the program, the organization and the objectives,
recourses needed, cost of conducted program and the results expected out of it. However, some
of the general considerations are to be taken into account while evaluating a training program.
1. Significance: the extent to which, the training, if successfully carried out, will make an
original and important contribution.
2. Approach: the extent to which the conceptual framework, design, methods and analysis areproperly developed, and integrated, and appropriate to the aims of the training including the
following:
Plan for use of controls
Sample size justification
Power functions where appropriate
Analysis techniques
3. Feasibility: the likelihood that the proposed work can be accomplished through the training
by the organizers and the adequacy of plans for the recruitment and retention of
human resources where applicable.
4. Data: the appropriate, use of data, time needed for collection and analysis.
5. Personnel: appropriate background, skills, objectives.
6. Budget
Types of evaluation:
Questionnaire or survey
Interview
Test (either written or performance test)

Measuring the effectiveness of training
Measuring the effectiveness of training programs consumes valuable time and resources.
Many training programs fail to deliver the expected organizational benefits. Having a well-
structured measuring system in place can help you determine where the problem lies. On a
positive note, being able to demonstrate a real and significant benefit to your organization from
the training you provide can help you gain more resources from important decision-makers.
Consider also that the business environment is not standing still. Your competitors, technology,
legislation and regulations are constantly changing. What was a successful training program
yesterday may not be a cost-effective program tomorrow. Being able to measure results will help
you adapt to such changing circumstance
What Makes Training Effective?
Training intervention effectiveness research is needed to (1) identify major variables that
Influence the learning process and (2) optimize resources available for training interventions.
Logical and progressive study models are best suited to identify the critical elements and causal
relationships that affect training effectiveness and efficiency
In training research, it is often difficult to arrive at definitive answers. Typically, many Variables
minimize effects and make results difficult to interpret. Furthermore, the amount of variance
attributed to any one variable is usually small. Therefore, if training is to be an essential
component of planned interventions, a uniform system of research is needed to explain how
training is made effective and to indicate how resources for training should be organized.
The model described here recognizes that formal training interventions are affected by
several real-world factors such as uneven resource availability across training settings and
differing levels of experience and expertise among instructors. Accordingly, training evaluation
research should be conducted in the field where possible in order to incorporate these variables
into the study of effectiveness
The Kirkpatrick Mode
The most well-known and used model for measuring the effectiveness of training programs was
developed by Donald Kirkpatrick in the late 1950s. It has since been adapted and modified by a
35
8/2/2019 Nikita ingale complet
36/69
number of writers; however, the basic structure has well stood the test of time. The basic
structure of Kirkpatricks four-level model is shown here.
Methods for the effective evaluation of training have been studied for some time. The Kirkpatrick
modelis now considered to be the industry standard, and is frequently used by HR departments
when determining their own systems.
Level 4-Result
What organizational benefits resulted from thetraining?
Level 3-Behavior
To what extent did participants change theirbehavior back in the workplace as a result of thetraining?
Level 2-Learning
To what extent did participants improve knowledgeand skills and change attitudes as a result of the
training?
Level 1-Reaction
How did participants react to the program?
Kirkpatrick Model for Evaluating Effectiveness of Training Programs
An evaluation at each level answers whether a fundamental requirement of the training program
was met. Its not that conducting an evaluation at one level is more important that another. All
levels of evaluation are important. In fact, the Kirkpatrick model explains the usefulness ofperforming training evaluations at each level. Each level provides a diagnostic checkpoint for
problems at the succeeding level. So, if participants did not learn (Level 2), participant reactions
gathered at Level 1 (Reaction) will reveal the barriers to learning. Now moving up to the next
level, if participants did not use the skills once back in the workplace (Level 3), perhaps they did
not learn the required skills in the first place (Level 2).
The difficulty and cost of conducting an evaluation increases as you move up the levels. So, you
will need to consider carefully what levels of evaluation you will conduct for which programs.
You may decide to conduct Level 1 evaluations (Reaction) for all programs, Level 2 evaluations
(Learning) for hard-skills programs only, Level 3 evaluations (Behavior) for strategic
programs only and Level 4 evaluations (Results) for programs costing over $50,000. Above all
else, before starting an evaluation, be crystal clear about your purpose in conducting the
evaluation.

Effectiveness of training depends on the synergic relationship and collaborative
working amongst the four major patterns of training (participants, training organization,
trainers and client organization). Hence evaluation provides the necessary feedback to
these for contributing to training effectiveness.
The evaluation of training is a series of measurements of performance and impact of training
program on the individuals and the system as a whole. It is done for fact-finding, description,
comparison, comprehension, analysis, explanation and adaptation of training strategies, to make
them more useful for the ultimate target beneficiaries.

Training effectiveness depends not only on what happens before the actual training, but also on
what happens before the actual training and what happens after the training has formally ended.
Evaluation cannot neglect these important contextual factors. There are some models which are
used for evaluation of training program to find out effectiveness of training program.

Literature review
Dorn Williams (2007), Training is a critical component in any organization's strategy, but
organizations don't always evaluate the business impact of a training program. Large
expenditures for training in many organizations, is important to develop business intelligence
tools that will help companies to improve the measurement of training effectiveness. These tools
need to provide a methodology to measure, evaluate, and continuously improve training, as well
as the organizational and technical infrastructure (systems) to implement the methodology.
Cross-functional and learning analysis is provide important connections between the measures of
learning effectiveness offered by a learning management system (LMS) and the larger enterprise
metrics that indicate whether learning is transferred and positively affects business results.
Robert Blomberg (2002), This article reviews current literature related to cost-benefit analysis of
employee training programs. After a conceptual stage is set and the meaning of terms is clarified,
methodologies for measuring costs and benefits, and problems related to this process are
discussed. Primary and secondary beneficiaries of training are identified. The need for
distributional assignments of costs as a function of benefit is described. Following the
identification of problems inherent in cost-benefit research, concluding comments focus on the
need for practical applicationsof cost-benefit research.
Venuzgal (2005), The researcher review in this research the current methods on evaluating

search of literature and an analysis of current methods, the report summarizes the latest thinking
on evaluating training programs and provides insights on how BreadTalk can improve the quality
and management of its evaluations. There are three key objectives of the report: first, to identify
models, frameworks, methodologies, and approaches as well as their uses and feasibility in
evaluating training programs; second, to summarize how the quality and effectiveness of these
evaluations are assessed in theory and in reality, and approaches that other organisations use to
maintain the quality and effectiveness of their evaluations, and third, to outline some common
practices of corporate evaluation units.
Wheaton, George R. and Holding, Dennis H. (1976), The present report describes a program of
research whose goal is the development and eventual validation of a method for predictingtraining device effectiveness. As the lead publication in the series, this report presents a
preliminary model for the prediction of one of the most important aspects of training
effectiveness--transfer of training. In developing the preliminary model, every attempt has been
made to examine and, if possible, to build upon previous efforts. Toward this end, several
different kinds of literature potentially bearing on the prediction of device effectiveness have
been exhaustively reviewed, reduced, and analyzed. Previous methods and models dealing with
the design or evaluation of training programs were examined. General theories of transfer were
studied as were the specific constructs believed to mediate transfer. Finally, a host of substantive
issues were examined, particularly in terms of empirical data on specific variables and their
impact on transfer. The report describes and discusses this information and, when appropriate,
indicates its incorporation into the model. In the following four sections of the report the results
of the literature survey are described together with implications for a preliminary model for use
in predicting training effectiveness.
Tracey, J. B.,Tews, M. J. (1998), Training is considered important to hospitality operations. To
ensure the effectiveness of training programmes, hospitality managers need to look beyond the
usual factors of needs assessment, programme design, implementation and follow-up, to
consider, in addition, external factors. These factors include specifically employees' individual
characteristics, such as motivation, attitude and basic ability; and the work environment,
particularly the characteristics of the job, social networks, corporate culture, and appraisal and

reward schemes. Taking into account external factors as well as traditional measures of training
effectiveness, a manager can begin to assess how well a training programme is performing and
determine what changes will make it more effective.
R. Hoyle (2000), The literature on evaluation needs to be classified into education and training.
The latter reveals many difficulties as regards evaluation. Scientific and quantitative methods are
not popular. Evaluation appears to be undertaken reluctantly and with the simplest methods.
Behavioural objects are rarely even set by trainers. Progress in the techniques of evaluation has
been slow, though a good deal of research has been done. The literature is small but growing
Harris (2004), The researchers state that there is one absolute truth on employee training: Most
of the money spent on training is probably wasted. The primary reason of most training programs
fail is that, by definition, most are short-term events where massive amounts of information are
spread with the hopes that something sticks. Great business leaders understand that education is a
process-not a single event.
Grider, Douglas T., Capps, Charles J., III, Toombs, Leslie A (1990), A survey of 212 members
of the American Society for Training and Development was conducted to determine what
training evaluation techniques generate the most effective results. Three evaluation methods
were identified as the most effective: the results method, the behavior method, and the
competency method. Research results indicate that the best method for training and development
(T&D) analysis may depend on the type of environment used for training. The method cited most
often as the one used to evaluate training program results was the reaction method. Study
findings indicate that executives who want to develop effective training programs can take
numerous actions, including: integrating T&D with corporate strategic plans, providing
necessary resources to evaluate training results, and establishing a network of information.
Eduardo Salas andChristina M. Garofano (2004), A decade of training evaluation and training
effectiveness researchwas reviewed to construct an integrated model of training evaluationand
effectiveness. This model integrates four prior evaluation models and results of 10 years of
training effectiveness research.It is the first to be constructed using a set of strict criteria and to
investigate the evaluation and effectiveness relationships with an evaluation measure proposed
several years ago, posttraining attitudes. Evaluation measures found to be related to post training
43
8/2/2019 Nikita ingale complet
44/69
attitudes were cognitive learning, training performance, and transfer performance. Training
effectiveness variables found to be related to post training attitudes were pre training self-
efficacy, experience, post training mastery orientation, learning principles, and post-training
interventions. Overall, 10 training effectiveness variables were found to consistently influence
training outcomes. Results also reveal that reaction measures and training motivation are two
areas needing furtherdevelopment and research. These findings as well as other areasrequiring
research attention are discussed.
Black, J. Stewart, Mendenhall (1990), A review and a theoretical framework for future research
increased internationalization in the economic, political, and social arenas have led to greater
interpersonal cross-cultural conflict. Because much of this contact has not been successful, cross-
cultural training has been proposed by many scholars as a means of facilitating more effective
interaction. A review of the cross-cultural training literature is presented, and it is determinedthat cross-cultural training in general is effective. The article also offers a theoretical framework
based on social learning theory for understanding past research and for guiding future research;
this is important because in this context variables seem to operate differently in international
versus domestic areas.
IbrahimMohamed E,Prof. & Head (2004); This paper examines the effectiveness of a training
program offered to 94 trainees at two locations of a training institute in UAE. The researcher
extracted the needed data from the records of the institute for the year 2003. The paper focused
on trainees reactions to the training program (i.e., its materials and instructors) and the level of
skills and knowledge gained from the program as the primary measures for effectiveness. Alpha
analysis and t-tests were used to judge data reliability and the statistical significance of the
measures of effectiveness. A regression analysis was also used to determine the role of perceived
training usefulness and a trainees effort to gain skills and knowledge in explaining achieved
level of effectiveness. The results indicate significant positive reactions to the training program.
They also indicate significant increase in trainees skills and knowledge as a result of the
training. In addition, perceived training usefulness and trainees effort to gain skills andknowledge were significant variables in explaining training effectiveness, after controlling for
the effects of demographic variables.

1: Needs assessment for training. It consists of three parts- organizational, task and person
analysis.
2: Designing the training program. Instructional Objectives represent the desired outcomes of a
training program (Performance-centered objectives). They also provide a basis for choosing
methods and materials and for selecting the means for assessing whether the instruction will be
successful. The principles of learning should include goal setting, individual differences, active
practice and repetition, whole versus part learning, masses versus distributed learning, feedback
and reinforcement, meaningfulness of presentation and modeling.
3: Implementing the training. This stage involves taking decisions like nature of training, types
of training and organizational extent of training.
K. Skylar Powell, Serkan Yalcin(2002); The purpose of this paper is to add to the significant
contributions of past research by assessing what the overall effectiveness of managerial traininghas been over a period of 50 years and by identifying changes in overall effectiveness during this
time period. Additionally, this study aims to evaluate what the overall findings on the
effectiveness of training has been based on study design and subgroups focusing on the
equivalent of Kirkpatrick's famous learning, behavior, and results outcomes. The results do not
suggest a great deal of improvement in the effectiveness of managerial training from 1952
through 2002 and effect sizes have remained moderate. Additionally, outcome subgroup appears
to moderate results. Specifically, programs implemented to achieve learning outcomes tended to
have the largest effect sizes and were consistently significant relative to programs targeted at
behavior and results outcomes.

employees, training also improves their productivity, which is reflected in an improvement in the
firm's performance. These studies present the profile of employee training and the importance of
this activity for businesses; however, none focus specifically on small businesses. The results
relating business size to employee training are general in nature, and basically state that medium-
sized and large firms provide more training to their employees than small businesses. This paper
segments the business population by firm size in order to understand the differences in training
rates and examines training rates by firm size according to different business strategies andhuman resources practices.
Gould D, Kelly D, White I, Chidgey J. (2004), Training needs analysis is the initial step in a
cyclical process which contributes to the overall training and educational strategy of staff in an
organization or a professional group. The cycle commences with a systematic consultation to
identify the learning needs of the population considered, followed by course planning, delivery
and evaluation. Although much has been written about training needs analysis in relation to post-
registration nursing education, there is disagreement concerning its impact on the training cycle
and its potential to influence service delivery. However, seven studies were concerned with a
single, specific organization (micro-level training needs analysis). Despite their smaller scale and
more limited scope, micro-level training needs initiatives demonstrated greater methodological
rigor, were more likely to consider the stakeholder perspective, to generate findings which could
positively influence the rest of the training cycle and showed the greatest potential for
influencing service delivery and quality of patient care. The review drew attention to the
similarities between the training cycle and the audit cycle and resulted in the development of amodel which could be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the process and outcomes of future
training needs analysis initiatives.

Braddy(2003),This report provides a summary and analysis of relevant literature, including
reviews conducted by other industries and jurisdictions, concerning the implementation of
Training Packages throughout Australia. The literature review focuses on discussion of the
following issues:
Identifying blockages to the take up of Training Packages in general; and
Examining the implementation of the Public Services Training Package, the Local Government
Training Package and the Public Safety Training Package throughout NSW. The changing nature
of work, together with rapidly changing skill and knowledge needs, impact on an organizations
willingness to adopt a standardized, national framework based on the attainment of qualifications
Research indicates that many industries have low levels of investment in formal training,
preferring in house training. Preference is given to university training and qualifications over
VET qualifications. No literature was located to indicate the extent to which organizations use
accredited courses when conducting in-house training. language is seen as a priority. The opinion
of many users of Training Packages is that there is a need for more support material, such as case
studies, learning and assessment guideless.
Janis A. Cannon-Bowers, Eduardo Salas(2005); From a Model and Initial Empirical
Investigation; Increasingly stringent demands are being placed on operators in many military
systems due to recent advances in technology and rapid changes in the world
order. In the modern military combat environment, operators require skill levels
that are more varied and are of a higher order than in the past. Coupled with
current fiscal constraints, this situation demands and optimization of training
resources,a return on investment that results in an uncompromisingly high
level of readiness at the lowest possible cost and in the shortest time. The
purpose of this research was to advance understanding of effective training
system design by investigating factors that may affect the success of training
significantly in terms of performance improvement in the operational environ
ment. To accomplish this goal, a comprehensive model of training effectiveness
was first developed and used as a basis to specify testable hypotheses. Results indicated that
several nontechnical trainee-related factors had a significant impact on training outcomes in this
setting.

Research is essentially a logical and an organized enquiry seeking facts through objective
verifiable methods in order to discover the relationship among them and to refer from the broad
principles and laws. It is really a method of critical evaluation and thinking.
Research may be defined as: systematic and objective analysis and recording of controlled
observations that may lead to the development of generalization of principle or theories resulting
in prediction and possibly ultimate control of events.
Methodology is often used in a narrow sense to refer to methods, technology or tools employed
for the collection of data as well as its processing. This is also used sometimes to designate data
collected to arrive at the conclusion. In fact it describes that what should have been done. It
provides answers to some of the major questions like, what must be done. How it will be done?
What data will be needed/What data gathering devices will be employed? How sources of data
will be analyzed to arrive at conclusions?
A systematic, logical and verifiable method used to obtain data, information, facts, experiences
and to study, analyze, tabulate and conclude for effective feedback is nothing but Research
Methodology.
For systematic research scientific approach is necessary. It is therefore essential to follow
systematic methodology to arrive at a proper conclusion.

Contact Method : Company Records Survey,
Personal Interview and Questionnaire
RESEARCH DESIGN:
Descriptive research designs enable researchers to describe or present picture of a phenomenon
under investigation. The methodology involved in such designs is mostly qualitative in nature
producing descriptive data i.e. peoples own written or spoken words & observable behavior.
Descriptive research in my project includes:-
Formulating the research objective of the project
Selecting the source
Processing and analyzing the data
Defining solution of the problem
Finding and conclusion oriented.
SOURCES OF DATA:
Data Collection:
For the success of any project accurate data is very important and necessary. The information
collected through research methodology must be accurate and relevant. It is often observed that
data in hand are not sufficient so it is necessary to collect data from different resources that are
appropriate. Data collection can be classified into two methods. They are
Primary Data
Secondary Data
A) Primary data:Data collected by observation and personal participation. The methods used for collecting
primary data may be from one of the following methods.
1) Survey Method:
The word survey is use most often to describe a method of gathering information from a sample
of individuals. The sample is usually just a fraction of the population being studied.
50
8/2/2019 Nikita ingale complet
51/69
This can be done by various methods like:
Questionnaire
Face to face interaction
Interviews
2) Observation Method:
This is the most commonly used method especially in studies related to behavioral science and a
method of data collection for the researcher, when it serves a research purpose.
In this method the subjective bias is eliminated, if observation is done accurately.
This method is independent of respondents co-operation.
B) Secondary Data:
Secondary data means the data which is already available. They refer to the data which have
already been collected and analyzed by someone else. It may be published or unpublished data.
It is collected through:
a) Technical & trade journals
b) Books magazines & newspapers
c) Reports & past experiences
d) Public records & statistics
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY ADOPTED:
The research methodology adopted to collect the data in this study is generally accepted
methodology. Data has been collected through various sources.
The primary data is collected through a structured questionnaire, observation, interviews etc...
The secondary data is collected through literature & information from the manuals of IRSL,
annual reports, brochure etc. Various magazines & journals.
RANDOM SAMPLING:
Sampling is simply the process of learning about population on the basis of a sample drawn from
it. A random sample is one where each item in the universe has an equal opportunity of being
selected. It is suitable in more homogeneous & comparatively larger groups.
In this project work Stratified Random Sampling is used because the population is
heterogeneous with respect to the variable or characteristics under this study. This technique
gives more efficient and accurate results.
In this Research study 60 respondents are studied at random to get the relevant information.

DATA ANALYSIS
Analysis of data is the most skilled task of all the stages of any research work. It is a task calling
for the researchers own judgment & skill.
Data analysis is a process of gathering, modeling, and transforming data with the goal of
highlighting useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision making. Data
analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of
names, in different business, science, and social science domains.
