Training, Objectives of Training Programmes, The Effectiveness of Training ProgrammesAbstract
The assessment of training programmes conducted by the organisation towards employees is crucial in determining the extent to which a training is capable of improving employee skills. This assessment also ensures that the outcome of the returns from the organization's investment in the training system is directly proprietary. Therefore, this study was carried out to examine the objective role of assessment of training programmes comprising the contents of training programmes, training programme inputs and the results of training programmes on the effectiveness of training programmes. The design of this study is quantitative based on survey methods. A total of 288 respondents comprising library staff at The Tun Abdul Razak Library (PTAR), in Shah Alam and PTAR are located in Malaysia. Analysis of data was carried out using the multivariate analysis techniques of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and the value of model strength is strong which is the Standardized Root Mean Square Residual value is 0.051 Results study finding that there is a significant relationship between the evaluation objectives of training programmes in all three dimensions i.e. content program, input and programme results. This study will be used by the human resource management division in implementing the evaluation of training programmes as one of the effectiveness in planning training programmes.
