...selecting this organization for my project. In accordance with Title 5 410.201, federal agencies are required to develop training plans and programs that support a workforce capable of achieving an agency’s mission and performance goals. DoD OIG’s strategic plan goal 3.l.2 is to identify core skill requirements for each position and identify/develop training to provide opportunities for staff to attain necessary core skill. An enterprise-wide competency and training needs analysis questionnaire will assist the organization in meeting the needs of both Title 5 401.201 and strategic plan goal 3.1.2. The development of a core competency model will provide an integrated approach for supporting the mission, goals, and strategies of the organization. A core competency model will assist with establishing succession management, aligning training and development to skill gaps, and planning for future workforce needs. The identified core and technical competency models will be used to leverage the organization’s human capital needs by defining consistent position descriptions, selecting effective training and development offerings, and proper planning for future training needs. The Training Needs Analysis (TNA) results will identify knowledge, skills and abilities unique to DoD OIG and identify if there are any gaps that impact performance.

...Chapter Three: Methodology This chapter describes and explains the methodology deployed in this study and at the research methods reading which informed my choice of methods. This study is a practical project of field study type. Chapter One introduced the subject of this dissertation, i.e. to investigate the nature and impact of national and local initiatives on geography teaching in schools with ICT (Information and Communication Technology). The focus is particularly the significant factors that influence and facilitate teachers’ ability to embrace ICT and incorporate it in their geography teaching and use it with pupils. I am interested in discovering what the main barriers are to teachers who do not integrate ICT in the geography curriculum. This had to be “doable within the time, space and resources available” (Blaxter, et. al., 1999, p.25) and was refined from the early rather ambitious aims to being more focused. The are many models of the research process, most of them devised according to a series of stages. Cohen and Manion (1994) identify eight stages of action research, which appeared rather too scientific in approach, as I was seeking to “understand individuals’ perceptions of the world” (Bell, 1999, p.7). Other representations of the research process, including one with five stages of research shown in diagrammatic form showing design, sampling, data collection, data analysis and the report are presented by Blaxter et. al. (1999, p.8). This seems to...

Table of Content Introduction 3 Training and development 4 Teamwork 5 Employee/Organizational Communication 6 Emphasis on Reward 7 Corporate culture and organizational commitment 8 References 9 Introduction The employee attitude on organizational commitment has changed nowadays; they would no longer want to stay with a particular company for their whole working life. In the past, employees might be happy to remain in the organization where it could provide good job security. However, the competitive pressure from their competitors has made many organizations reluctant to focus on downsizing, restructuring therefore created less job security provided to employees. Many employees considered that their organization has broken the secure organizational bond and unhappiness might bring employees to tend to begin their new job search. With the idea of finding a new job, employees therefore might demotivate with their current job and underperform in the organization.

...TRANSFER OF TRAINING NG KUEH Hua University Malaysia Sarawak, Malaysia Abstract: The burgeoning literature investigating the effect of supervisory support on the transfer of training is characterized by inconsistent findings. Also, to date, research examining peer support is still lacking, despite earlier studies show support emanating from co-workers has a significant influence on the transfer of training. Hence, this study attempts to rectify the inadequacies in the literature by examining the effects of supervisory and peer support on the transfer of training. Based on a cross-sectional method, quantitative data was collected from 100 employees working in one of the Malaysian state health departments, with a response rate of 48 percent. The results of multiple regression analysis revealed that supervisory support was not significantly associated with transfer of training, whereas peer support exerted a significant and positive influence on transfer of training. This study responded to the pressing calls for more studies to elucidate the relationship between social support and the transfer of training. The findings contributed to the body of literature by clarifying the nature of relationships between supervisory support, peer support and transfer of training, particularly from the Malaysian workplace perspective. Key words: Supervisory support, peer support, transfer of training 1. Introduction Over the years, organizations increasingly invest on training and development...
