Beschreibung
This book offers an integrated and contextualised framework for learning and development (L&D) effectiveness that addresses both the nature of L&D and its antecedents and outcomes in organisations. Scholars and practitioners alike have recognised the important role that L&D plays in organisations, where the development of human capital is an essential component of individual employability, career advancement, organisational performance, and competitive advantage.
The development of employees’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes constitutes one of the most important HR challenges that organisations face. The evidence indicates that organisations continue to invest in L&D programmes as part of their HR strategy. In addition, there has been an enormous growth in research on L&D in organisations; however, there is some ambiguity concerning the effectiveness of these activities and it largely remains unclear how they can be best implemented. This book seeks to address this gap in the literature. The authors propose a framework for L&D effectiveness based on key findings from reviews, empirical research, and meta-analyses, as well as previously established theoretical frameworks within the field. Combining theory and practice, the new framework this book offers provides key guidance for L&D practitioners and researches interested in the area.

Assessing the effects and value of investment in training has been of continuing concern to training professionals for many years. This is not only because of their desire to provide effective interventions for the benefit of learners, but also because of the need to demonstrate value to organisation decision makers. This new text from Professor Garavan and his colleagues provides the latest and most exemplary answer to this concern through a comprehensive and thorough analysis of current research and knowledge. The result is a process model of training effectiveness which specifies all of the direct and indirect variables influencing training effectiveness. The model is clearly explained and justified in the book, and it will be of immeasurable benefit to both researchers and professionals seeking to understand how to ensure the effectiveness of training interventions.
