Document Summary

Hrm 3410: training and development week 2. You can train and teach but if employees aren"t motivated, they won"t transfer the things they learn to the workplace. Learning: interactive, macro level concept; process of creating, sharing and applying knowledge in organizations. Training: micro level concept; focuses on employees acquiring ksas for current or near future jobs. Learning and training occur more frequently informally (in groups, work teams etc. that aren"t designed for learning and training) than formally (organization approved tactics) The consequences we want to achieve by going through the training and development process. Affective/attitudinal; what you feel and your attitude towards work/certain process. Cognitive strategies; framework that allows us to obtain knowledge and use it. People sense and absorb info. through visuals, aural (hearing), reading and writing, and kinesthetic (hands-on) Training should have a combination of all the above. Motivation: the effort expended and the persistence of that effort to pursue a specific goal/outcome.
