Training in an Organisation

Abstract

Training is the systematic modification of behaviour through learning which occurs as a result of education, instruction, development and planned experience. Learning has been defined by Bass and Vaughan (1998) as a relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of practice or experience. Training is a planned process to modify attitude, knowledge or skill behaviour through learning to achieve effective performance in an activity or range of activities. Its purpose in the work situation is to develop the abilities of the individual and to satisfy the current and future manpower needs of the organisation.
