Review on measuring training effectiveness, an integrated model of training effectiveness and satisfaction with employee development interventions

PurposeDue to technology advancement or transparency in system, there is a constant inflow and outflow of technology in the business for transparency and efficiency. To seize a competitive advantage, companies have emerged new technological solutions to respond to the change in the organization environment. There is a surge in the requirement of learning opportunities and effective training programs in the organization. The current study has been an effort to understand the potential of blockchain technology that can create better training evaluation.Design/methodology/approachThe electronic-Delphi (e-Delphi) method has been conducted by recording the final consensus and to find a balance for implementation of blockchain technology and measuring training effectiveness. The current research is one of its new types where blockchain-enabled training effectiveness measurement (BETEM) model has been formulated using a qualitative approach.FindingsThe study has considered human resource (HR) professionals as the experts and based on their responses, the formulation of theoretical network model has been structured using e-Delphi–BETEM (e-DLH–BETEM) approach. By critically examining the experts’ responses and comments, the study formulated the four major themes and 11 subthemes for the smooth functioning of the BETEM for an organization.Research limitations/implicationsThe research aims to aid innovations in BETEMs model for training evaluation. The model will contribute incrementally toward the complete transformation of the training development programs of employees. The goal of BETEMs is to ensure that organizations, specifically HR personals can prepare themselves to have competitive advantage by using blockchain technology.Originality/valueThe application of blockchain technology in measuring the training effectiveness is an addition to existing literature as majority of existing studies have studied the use of technology for measuring training effectiveness.

And Training

The public sector of Bhutan—as in many developing countries—budgets substantial funds for capacity building and training, and in the case of one of the ministries in the government, the investment is not evaluated for effectiveness. This case looks at the effectiveness of the existing training programs of that ministry and recommends necessary policy and regulatory changes to improve training processes. The model of measuring training effectiveness developed by Donald Kirkpatrick in 1959 (known as the four level model) was used; the data for the study was collected from two sets of questionnaires. One set was from the employees who have undergone some form of training in the last three years and the other from the manager of these employees. A total of 92 employees and 23 managers responded positively to the survey. The conclusion of the study established that there is ample room for the ministry to improve their training effectiveness – and this point is true for many relatively underdeveloped emerging markets in Asia that are similar to Bhutan.

Semantic Awareness

Spelling is a window into a student's individual language system and, therefore, canprovide clues into the student's understanding, use, and integration of underlyinglinguistic skills. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) should be involved in improvingstudents' literacy skills, including spelling, though frequently available measures ofspelling do not provide adequate information regarding critical underlying linguistic skillsthat contribute to spelling. This paper outlines a multilinguistic, integrated model of wordstudy (Masterson & Apel, 2007) that highlights the important influences of phonemicawareness, orthographic pattern awareness, semantic awareness, morphologicalawareness and mental graphemic representations on spelling. An SLP can analyze anindividual's misspellings to identify impairments in specific linguistic components andthen develop an individualized, appropriate intervention plan tailored to a child's uniquelinguistic profile, thus maximizing intervention success.
