Training and Development in Organizations

Bringing together research findings from experts in industrial and organizational psychology, organizational behaviour, management, and other related disciplines to identify new approaches to effective training in the workplace, this book describes a wide range of strategies for improving training - offering ways better to analyze training needs, design more effective training methods, and more accurately assess outcomes. Ways to assess training needs based on the organization, the individual, and the task to be performed are discussed and a variety of effective training techniques based on cognitive and behavioural theory - including training through reinforcement and training in self-management - are explained.
