摘要:

AbstractWith the evolving nature of high‐technology workplaces, personnel are continually confronted with new, complex systems. Possession of accurate mental representations or “mental models” of these systems should enhance workers' understanding and use of the equipment. Incorporating mental model assessment, diagnosis, and instruction into training requires the selection of an appropriate measure of mental model knowledge. Because there is no agreed‐upon measure of this knowledge, selection can be difficult. This study evaluated four mental model measures, with performance as the criterion. Three of the evaluated techniques were predictive of performance; two of these were independently predictive. Determining the relationship between a knowledge representation and performance can offer valuable information for designing and evaluating a training inter

摘要:

AbstractThis study explores the impact of two management interventions, a pre‐training expectations discussion and an after‐training follow‐up discussion, on the transfer of skills from training programs to the work situation. Ninety‐one trainees in five skill development courses in a Fortune 200 company in Michigan participated in this study. For each course, the trainees were randomly assigned to two groups: (1) those whose managers provided the specified pre‐ and postsession interventions and (2) those whose managers did not provide them. Comparisons were made to see which group reported more instances of training transfer and selected transfer‐related factors. The results showed significantly higher training usage and a more positive perception regarding the forces that encourage transfer of training within the work environment among the trainees who received the management support interventions. On the other hand, the trainees who did not receive management support reported lower training usage and perceived more forces mitigating against transfer. The findings provide further evidence that support provided by managers before and after training leads to greater transfer of training. The study recommends building strong trainer‐manager‐trainee partnerships in the phases before, during, and

摘要:

AbstractWhite‐collar workers were surveyed approximately three months and six months following layoffs. Approximately half of the respondents received extensive outplacement assistance while the remaining respondents, not having formal outplacement available, participated in an informal social support group sponsored by the community. Results indicate that individuals receiving formal outplacement training had higher job search self‐efficacy and were more optimistic regarding recovery from job loss than were those going to the informal social support group. While no differences were observed between the two groups on the number of job offers received after three months, members of the social support group appear to have the advantage in finding jobs comparable to their previous jobs. These findings and their implications are discus
