Abstract:

The purpose of the research was to develop a method which could serve as a prototype for evaluating managerial training. In addition to exemplifying the general rules underlying all training evaluation, the procedure was designed to test the effectiveness of the training effort against specific requirements of a sound training program. These requirements include awareness by participants and their supervisors of the specific objectives of the proposed training, encouraging continuing attention to employee development needs, the integration of training with operations, and adequate follow-up by supervisors as well as by training staffs.
