William James of Harvard University estimated that employees could retain their jobs by

working a mere 20-30 percent of their potential. His research led him to believe that if these

same employees were properly inspired they could work at 80-90 percent of their capabilities.

Behavioral sciences concepts like motivation and aspiration could well be used for such

improvements in employee output. Development could be one of the means to achieve such

improvements through the effective and efficient use of learning resources.

Development is a long-term investment in human resource using the equation given below:

Performance = ability x motivation

Development can have an impact on both these factors. It can heighten the skills and abilities

of the employees and their aspiration by increasing their sense of commitment and

encouraging them to develop and use new skills. It is a powerful tool that can have a major

impact on both employee productivity and morale, if properly used.

SELECTIVE H IRING


8/77

Page 8

This practice can ensure that the right people, with the desirable characteristics and knowledge,

are in the right place, so that they fit in the culture and the climate of the organization. Moreover,

pinpointing the rights employees would decrease the cost of employees education and

development.

Schuster (1986) argued that selective hiring is a key practice that creates profits.

Cohen and Pfeffer (1986) argued that hiring standards reflect not only organizations' skill

requirements but also the preferences of various groups for such standards and their ability to

enforce these preferences.

Huselid (1995) examined HR practices of high performance companies and found that attracting

and selecting the right employees increase the employee productivity, boost organizational

performance, and contribute in reducing turnover.

Michie and Quinn (2001) proposed that a possible indirect link between selective hiring and

organisational performance can be the forging of internal bonds between managers and

employees that creates the write culture for productivity growth.

Collins and Clark (2003) argued that the practice of selective hiring results at sales growth.

Paul and Anantharaman (2003) pointed out that an effective hiring process ensures the presence

of employees with the right qualifications, leading to production of quality products and

consequently in increase of economic performance.

Cardon and Stevens (2004) pointed out that for small companies recruiting is often problematic.

This can be due to several reasons such as limited financial and material resources and jobs with

unclear boundaries responsibilities, which decreases their potential to hire qualified candidates.

Therefore, we propose this hypothesis:

Cho et al. (2005) examined pre-employment tests as a key component of selective hiring and

found that when employed, these tests can select employees that stay with a company longer.

Passing pre-employment tests may give an applicant a stronger sense of belonging to the

company, resulting in higher degrees of commitment if employed.

Hypothesis : Selective hiring is positively related to firm growth.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


9/77

Page 9

Training and development may be related to firm performance in many ways. Firstly,Training

programmes increase the firm specificity of employee skills, which, it turn, increases employee

productivity and reduces job dissatisfaction that results in employee turnover (Huselid, 1995).

Secondly, training and developing internal personnel reduces the cost and risk of selecting,

hiring, and internalising people from external labour markets, which again increases employee

productivity and reduces turnover. Training and development like job security requires a certain

degree of reciprocity: A company that train and develop systematically its employees advocates

them that their market value develops more favourably than in other firms. This increases

employees productivity, commitment, and lowers turnover. Companies may also assist their

employees in career planning. In doing so, companies encourage employees to take more

responsibility for their own development, including the development of skills viewed as

significant in the company (Doyle, 1997).

Husiled (1995) found that the education and development of employees have a significant effect

both upon the personnel productivity and the sort-term and long-term indicators of organizational

performance.

Ngo et al. (1998) investigated the effects of country origins on HR practices of firms from the

United States, Great Britain, Japan and Hong Kong operating in Hong Kong. Study results

showed that structural training and development and retention-oriented compensation were

related to various measures of firm performance. Paul and Anantharaman (2003), in searching

the links between human resource practices and organizational performance, proposed that career

development programmes demonstrate a true interest of the organization for the growth of its

personnel, which, in turn, stimulates commitment and devotion, which, subsequently, raises

personnel productivity and consequently economical output.

Cerio (2003) examined the manufacturing industry in Spain and found that quality management

practices related to product design and development, together with human resource practices, are

the most significant predictors of operational performance. Michie and Quinn (2001)

investigated the relationships between UK firms use of flexible work practices and corporate


10/77

Page 10

performance and suggested that low levels of training are negatively correlated with corporate

performance.

Zhu (2004) reviewed the changes in the area of human resource development in Japan and

observed that some companies and industries have shifted towards a more strategic approach that

emphasizes the impact of effective learning at both individual and organizational levels on long-

term organizational competitiveness.

Barringer et al. (2005) compared rapid-growth and slow-growth firms and found that rapid

growth firms depend heavily on the abilities and efforts of their employees to maintain their

growth-oriented strategies. The fast-growth firms used training programs to achieve their

objectives and emphasized employee development to a significantly greater extent than their

slow-growth counterparts. Therefore, training and employee development practices are more

common in rapid-growth firms than slowgrowth ones.

Miller (2006) examined the growth strategies in the retail sector and suggested that modern

retailers should place more emphasis on the policies and practices that could contribute to staff

retention, rather than on the immediacy of recruitment and selection.


Hypothesis : The extent of training and development will be positively related

to firm growth.

COMPENSATION POLICY


11/77

Page 11

Performance-based compensation is the dominant HR practice that firms use to evaluate and

reward employees efforts (Collins and Clark, 2003).

Evidently, performance-based compensation has a positive effect upon employee and

organizational performance (see for reviews:Brown et al. 2003; Cardon and Stevens, 2004).

However, there is scarce evidence on the effects of compensation policy of firm growth.

Empirical studies on the relationship between performance-related pay and company

performance have generally found a positive relationship, but a growing body of empirical

evidence suggests that it is not just pay level that matters, but pay structure as well (Wimbush,

2005; Singh 2005).

Barringer et al. (2005) conducted a quantitative content analysis of the narrative descriptions of

50 rapid-growth firms and a comparison group of 50 slow-growth companies. Results

demonstrated that employee incentives differentiated the rapid-growth from the slow-growth

firms. Firms that were eager to achieve rapid-growth provided their employees financial

incentives and stock options as part of their compensation packages. In doing so, firms managed

to elicit high levels of performance from employees, provide employees the feeling that they

have an ownership interest in the firm, attract and retain high-quality employees, and shift a

portion of a firms business risk to the employees.

Delery and Doty (1996) identified performance-based compensation as the single strongest

predictor of firm performance. Both performance-based compensation and merit-based

promotion can be viewed as ingredients in organizational incentive systems that encourage

individual performance and retention (Uen and Chien, 2004). Collins and Clark (2003) studied

73 high-technology firms and showed that the relationships between the HR practices and firm

performance (sales growth and stock growth) were mediated through their top managers social

networks.

Cho et al. (2005) suggested that incentive plans is effective in decreasing turnover rates. Banker

et al. (2001) conducted a longitudinal study of the effectiveness of incentive plans in the hotel

industry and found that incentive plans were related to higher revenues, increased profits, and

decreased cost. Paul and Anantharaman (2003) found that compensation and incentives directly

affect operational performance.

To be effective, compensation practices and policies must be aligned with organisational

objectives. While performance-based compensation can motivate employees, sometimes


12/77

Page 12

employees perceive it as a management mechanism to control their behaviour (Lawler and

Rhode, 1976).In such a case, employees are less loyal and committed, thus compensation plans

have the opposite than desired outcome (Ahmad and Schroeder, 2003; Rodrguez and Ventura,

2003).

Employee turnover can significantly slow revenue growth, particularly in knowledge-

intensiveindustries (Baron and Hannan, 2002). Given that much of the tacit knowledge resides

within employees, significant turnover poses a threat to firm performance and its future growth

potential.With high turnover rates, firm growth flees away along with leaving managers who

often become employers of rival firms or establish themselves rival firms.


Hypothesis : Compensation Policy is positively related to firm growth

I NFORMATION SHARING


13/77

Page 13

Sharing of information may have a dual effect: Firstly, it conveys employees the right meaning

that the company trusts them. Secondly, in order to make informed decision, employees should

have access to critical information. Communicating performance data on a routine basis

throughout the year help employees to improve and develop. Employees presumably want to be

good at their jobs, but if they never receive any performance feedback, they may perceive to

have a satisfactory performance when in fact they do not (Chow et al., 1999).

Furthermore, information sharing fosters organizational transparency which reduces turnover

(Ahmad and Schroeder, 2003) and forges synergistic working relationship among employees

(Nonaka, 1994).

Information sharing is not a widespread HR practice as someone might have expected it to be.

Many companies are vulnerable to share critical information with their employees because in this

way employees become more powerful and companies may loose control of them (Pfeffer,

1998).

Furthermore, information sharing always involves the danger of leaking important information to

competitors (Ronde, 2001).

In a study of Japanese consultation committees, Morishima (1991) found a positive association

of information sharing with productivity and profitability, and a negative one with labour cost.

Constant et al. (1994) pointed out that attitudes about information sharing depend on the form of

the information.

Burgess (2005) studied employee motivations for knowledge transfer outside their work unit and

found that employees who perceived greater organizational rewards for sharing spent more hours

sharing knowledge beyond their immediate work group. However, a significant percentage of

employees perceived knowledge as a means of achieving upward organizational mobility.

Therefore, employees sought information more often than shared it.

Roberts (1995) studied how HR strategy affects profits in 3,000 businesses throughout the world


14/77

Page 14

and found that sharing information was related with higher profitability.

However, Ichniowski and Shaw (1999) compared US and Japanese steel-making plants and

found that employee participation based solely on problem-solving teams or information sharing

did not produce large improvements in productivity. In a study of Fortune 1,000 largest

manufacturing and service companies on highperformance practices,

Lawler et al. (1995) found information sharing to correlate to firm performance but results are

inconclusive.


Hypothesis : Sharing of information is positively related to firm growth.

DECENTRALI ZATION & SELF -MANAGED TEAMS


15/77

Page 15

More and more, employees are required to work in teams, make joint decisions, and undertake

common initiatives in order to meet the objectives of their team and organization. Self-managed

teams can affect firm growth in two ways: Firstly, a surplus of junior managers in a firm may

create and support dynamics of firm growth. The growth stage is perhaps the most dynamic stage

of a firms life cycle. As the business expands, new levels of management are added. Decision-

making becomes more decentralized, middle managers gain authority and self-managed teams

proliferate as the firm adds more and more projects and customers (Flamholtz and Randle, 2000;

Miller and Friesen, 1984). Secondly, teamwork and decentralization of decision making

promotes employee commitment participation and create a sense of attachment, thus indirectly

affecting firm performance (Tata and Prasad, 2004).

Several studies identified self-managed teams and decentralization as important high-

performance HRM practices (Pfeffer, 1998; Wagner, 1994; Yeatts and Hyten, 1998; Singer and

Duvall, 2000). Jayaram et al. (1999) found that decentralised teams have a positive effect on two

dimensions of the performance, time and flexibility. Collins and Clark (2003) examined the role

of human resource practices in creating organizational competitive advantage and found that top

management team social networks (practices such as mentoring, incentives, etc.) mediated the

relationship between HR practices and firm performance. Haleblian and Finkelstein (1993)

examined the effects of top management team size and chief executive officer (CEO) dominance

on firm performance in different environments. Results showed that firms with large teams

performed better and firms with dominant CEOs performed worse in a turbulent environment

than in a stable one.

Tata and Prasad (2004) found that a company with micro level of centralisation is a receptive

environment for self-managed teams. In a study of differential outcomes of team structures for

workers, supervisors, and middle managers in a large unionized telecommunications company,

Batt (2004) found that participation in self-managed teams is associated with significantly higher

levels of employment security, and satisfaction for workers and the opposite for supervisors.

Black et al. (2004) examined the impact of organizational change on workers and found evidence

that self-managed teams are associated with greater employment reductions.


Hypothesis : Decentralisation is positively related to firm growth

JOB SECURITY


16/77

Page 16

Job security creates a climate of confidence among employees which cultivates their

commitment on the companys workforce. Job security requires a certain degree of reciprocity:

firstly, a company must signal a clear message that jobs are secure; then, employees believing

that this is true, feel confident and commit themselves to expend extra effort for the companys

benefit; finally, a company that have learnt that job security contributes to its performance,

invests again in job security (Pfeffer, 1998).

Probst (2002) has developed a conceptual model of the antecedents and consequences of job

security. Antecedents include worker characteristics, job characteristics, organizational change

and job technology change. Consequences include psychological health, physical health,

organizational withdrawal, unionisation activity, organizational commitment and job stress. Jon

involvement, cultural values, and procedural justices moderate job security perceptions and

attitudes.

Buitendach and Witte (2005) assessed the relationship between job insecurity, job satisfaction

and affective organisational commitment of maintenance workers in a parastatal in Gauteng.

Study results revealed small but significant relationships between job insecurity and extrinsic job

satisfaction and job insecurity and affective organisational commitment. Job satisfaction was also

found to mediate the relationship between job insecurity and affective organisational

commitment.

However, todays business environments are far from providing job security to their employees.

For example, in an analysis of involuntary job loss in France between 1982 and 2002, Givord

and Maurin (2004) found evidence that technological changes contribute to keeping the

employees for shorter periods of time, thus increasing job insecurity.

When companies do provide job security, then empirical evidence suggests that it has a positive

effect on to firm performance. Following Pfeffer (1998), Ahmad and Schroeder (2003) found

that among others, job security impacts operational performance indirectly through

organizational commitment.

Delery and Doty (1996) studied the US banking sector and found some support for a positive

relationship between employment security and firm performance. In their study of 101 foreign

firms operating in Russia, Fey et al. (2000) found evidence that human resource practices

indirectly improve organisational performance. The results showed that not only, there was a

direct positive relationship between job security and performance for non-managers, but job


17/77

Page 17

security was the most important predictor of HR outcomes for non-managerial employees.

Results also suggested a direct positive relationship between managerial promotions based on

merit and firm performance.

Michie and Quinn (2001) examined labour market flexibility in over 200 manufacturing UK

firms and found that job security is negatively correlated with corporate performance. In

contrast, results showed that high commitment organizations are positively correlated with

good corporate performance. Kraimera et al. (2005) used psychological contract and social

cognition theories to explore the role of full-time employees' perceived job security in explaining

their reactions to the use of temporary workers by using a sample of 149 full-time employees

who worked with temporaries. Results demonstrated that employees' perceived job security

negatively related to their perceptions that temporaries pose a threat to their jobs. On the one

hand, for those with high job security, there was a positive relationship between benefit

perceptions and performance. On the other hand, for those with low job security, there was a

negative relationship between threat perceptions and performance.


Hypothesis : The presence of job security is positively related to firm growth.

OBJECTIVES OF THIS RESEARCH REPORT

Page 18

Before starting any project, we should keep in mind the clear objectives of the project because in

the absence of the objectives one cannot reach the conclusion or end result of the project.

So, I had following objectives in my mind for the better performance of the employees.

(i)To know the aspiration level of employees .

(ii) To know which variable shares the high percentage in aspiration of employees.

(iii) To know which variable shares the lowest percentage in aspiration of employees.

( iv) What are the techniques of development used by human resource department.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT HRD)


19/77

Page 19

HRD plays a vital role in determining training and development needs of the employees . In an

organization, the human resource specialist must involve other managers also in training and

development efforts.

The supervisors play a major role as they approve the goals of the development programme and

help to persuade potential participants. They also determine those employees who are to attend

the development programme.

The HRD department also serves as an information source. It provides information about training

programmes offered by other institution.

Formulation the Employee Development Plan

First, strategy is formulated which involves the setting of overall objectives. Then employee

development needs are assigned priorities and the resources allocated in order of priority.

After the priorities are determined, they must be codified in the form of an employee

development plan that identifies.

1. Who will be trained; (should all employees be trained)

2. The type of programmes;

3.

The time frame;

4. The persons responsible; and

5. The resources and facilities to be used.

ASPIRATIONS


20/77

Page 20

Definition of 'Aspiration' that is of what people will work to achieve.

To motivate an employee to work towards organizational goals it is necessary to find his or herlocus of energy & leverage it. Instead of pushing solutions on people with the force of argument,

the manager should pull solutions out of them.

'Aspiration towardsbetter performance depends on the satisfaction of needs for responsibility,

achievement, recognition and growth.

Needs are felt, and their intensity varies from one person to another and from time to time, and

so does the extent to which they are aspired.'

Aspiration is the set of processes that moves a person toward a goal. Thus, motivated behaviors

are voluntary choices controlled by the individual employee. The supervisor (motivator) wants to

influence the factors that motivate employees to higher levels of productivity.

Factors that affect work aspiration include individual differences, job characteristics, and

organizational practices. Individual differences are the personal needs, values, and attitudes,

interests and abilities that people bring to their jobs. Job characteristics are the aspects of theposition that determine its limitations and challenges. Organizational practices are the rules,

human resources policies, managerial practices, and rewards systems of an organization.

Supervisors must consider how these factors interact to affect employee job performance.

Simple Model of Aspiration

The purpose of behavior is to satisfy needs. A need is anything that is required, desired, or

useful. A want is a conscious recognition of a need. A need arises when there is a difference inself-concept (the way I see myself) and perception (the way I see the world around me). The

presence of an active need is expressed as an inner state of tension from which the individual

seeks relief.


21/77

Page 21


22/77

Page 22

Worker Aspiration must also be viewed from two perspectives

1. Inner drives

2. Outer (external) motivators.

A person's inner drivespush and propel him/her towards an employer, a particular job, career,

line of study, or other activity (such as travel or recreation).

The outer (external) motivatorsare the mirror image the employer or outside world offers in

response to the inner drives. In order to attract the "cream of the crop" of available workers, same

as in his/her dealings

with customers, the employer not only tries to satisfy these basic needs, but to exceed them -

taking into consideration additional extraordinary needs individual workers have.

Most workers need to:

1. Earn wages that will enable them to pay for basic necessities and additional luxuries such

as the purchase of a home, or travel

2. Save for and enjoy old age security benefits

3. Have medical and other insurance coverage

4. Acquire friends at work

5. Win recognition

6. Be acknowledged and rewarded for special efforts and contributions

7. Be able to advance in life and career-wise

8.

Have opportunities for self-development9. Improve their skills, knowledge, and know-how

10. Demonstrate and use special gifts and abilities

11. Realize their ideal.

IS DEVELOPMENT THE BEST MEDICINE?

Imagine this: A man is having chest pains. He rush as to his doctor, tells him he is having a heart

attack, and demands that he perform open-heart surgery. He obligingly agrees. It is not until after

a great deal of pain and expense that he discovers it was only indigestion.

When it comes to training, a similar situation happens all the time. If scrap rates are too high,

productivity is too low, and employees neglect to follow standard quality procedures, they must

need more training. Before rushing into the pain and expense of interrupting production to send

them off to a seminar it is necessary to make sure that training is the proper solution.

Just as a doctor must understand the cause of a patients symptoms before he can attempt a cure,

one needs to know why employees are not meeting the companys expectations before taking

action. Thats where a training-needs analysis will help. It tells how well employees are doing

their jobs, where they could use some improvement and how that improvement can best he

achieved. Done correctly, it can save the company from wasting a lot of time and money on

inappropriate training programs.

Gathering The Information

To do a valid training-needs analysis, one needs to gather as much objective data about employeeperformance as possible. There are many ways to collect this information, including:

Casual conversations

Formal interviews

Direct observation

Work samples

Written records

Surveys

Tests

Focus groups


25/77

Page 25

Grapevine

A professional trainer can be hired to perform an analysis but its

not just a technique for trainers. Everybody should be trained in

this simple process. Its a supervisors or a managers job to make

sure people can do their jobs. to do training needs analysis the

following steps should be followed:

Study current performance: Before tying to change anything, its essential to know

what is already happening. What skills and knowledge do employees already have? What tasksare they performing on their daily jobs?

Define ideal performance: what standard of performance is necessary for the business

and the employees to be a success? What tasks must they do? What level of accuracy or

productivity should they achieve? What skills and knowledge must they have?

Find the gap: What is the difference between the definition of ideal performance and what

the employees are currently doing? Are there any areas that arent functioning as well as they

should? Where are there opportunities for improvement? This is the performance gap that the

company is trying to fill. One must look for problems or opportunities that may occur in future as

well as ones that already exist.

Identify the cause: Why are workers not working up to standard? Have they ever

performed the job correctly? Where and when do the problems occur? Has anything changed

recently that might have instigated the problem? Compare best and worst performers to find the

differences in what they do.


26/77

Page 26

When these steps have been completed one should be ready to make diagnosis, but it must be

remembered that training is not the only medicine for ailing performance. Although it is often

mistakenly applied as a cure- all, the only problem that training can solve is a lack of skills and

knowledge. Do employees know how to do the job? Could they do it if their lives depended on

it? If so, probably there is no training problem. There are many reasons why a worker might not

be doing his job correctly, including unclear expectations, insufficient feedback, lack of

incentive and adverse working conditions. These are all management problems that can only be

improved by management changes.

Too often, people see the gap and they want to just leap right in and fix it. The key is not to

jump to the solution, which is assumed to be training. Understanding the situation is the first

step. Then, once one understands the situation one can think about why (The problem exists).

Only if its because (employees) lack skills and knowledge should training be considered as a

solution.

EFFECTIVENESS OF DEVELOPMENT

Employees and organizations need to realize the importance of contribution and learning for

mutual growth and development. An organization with a myopic view cannot realize the

importance of training. Organizations that lack vision undergo stagnation, decline and crisis after

success. Training is the answer to deal with the stagnation stage by constantly updating it in

every field. Other benefits of training include.

Hiring appeal: companies that provide training attract a better quality workforce.

Assessing and addressing any performance deficiency.

Increasing productivity.

Enhancing workforce flexibility. For example, in the IT industry, employees are sent to

different countries for diverse projects and assignments. Cross-cultural training is essential

for them for better adjustment in the new environment.

Increasing commitment: Training acts as a loyalty booster. Employee motivation is also

enhanced when the employee knows that the organization would provide them opportunities

to increase their skills and knowledge. Business is not just about transactions but is about

relationships.

It gives the organization a competitive edge by keeping abreast of the latest changes; it acts

as a catalyst for change.

Higher customer satisfaction and lower support cost result through improved service,

increased productivity and greater sufficiency.

Training acts as a benchmark for hiring, promoting and career planning.

It acts as a retention tool by motivating employees to the vast opportunities for growth

available in an organization.

In certain cases training can also act as a tool for reward and recognition. Candidates

showing high potential can be trained for advanced training in their field. Thus one can trace

the link of training with performance appraisal and potential evaluation.

Page 28

We have moved a long way from the Machine Age. Today what is required is strategic acumen

and cross-functional expertise. Today the workflow is milestone led. Command and control have

given way to facilitation. The employer- employee relationship in the networked age is a skill

contract and the work is largely cerebral. The benefits resulting due to training prove that it is

time for organizations to discard their parochial view and work towards developing their human

assets. The people factor is the pivot for organizational growth. Aligning organizational vision to

the development of employee is only possible way to become a success story in an environment

which seems to be reverberating with two words: 'perform or perish'.

Effectiveness of Development:

Development usually is a strategic human resource activity because it plays a major role in the

aspiration of empolyees. A development program will achieve the following benefits:

1. Improve the quality and quantity of work done.

2. Reduce the learning time required for employees to reach acceptable standards of

performance.

3. Create more favourable attitudes, loyalty and cooperation.

4. Satisfy human resource planning requirements.

5. Reduce the number and cost of accidents.

6. Help employees in their personal development and advancement.

Help organizations to respond to dynamic market conditions and changing consumer demands.


29/77

Page 29

Developmental Programs

1. Mentoring:

Some organizations assign an experienced employee to serve as a mentor for new employees. A

mentor is a trusted counselor, coach or advisor who provides advice and assistance. Effective

mentors teach these new employees a number of things, which include:

1. Provide instruction in specific skills and knowledge critical to successful job

performance.

2. Help in socializing them in the culture of the organization and understanding the

unwritten rules of the organization.

3.

Answer questions and provide useful insights.

4. Offer emotional support and encouragement.

5. Serve as a role model.

6. Create an environment in which mistakes can be made without losing self-confidence.

2. Career Counseling:

Most organizations provide some form of career counseling on various occasions: during

employment interviews when employees are first hired, during employees' annual performance

evaluation interviews, and as part of the special career counseling that is provided for high-

potential employees. Career counseling typically occurs as part of the day-to-day relationship

between a supervisor and a subordinate. Moreover, some organizations provide special career

counseling by conducting psychological assessments of employees and helping them interpret

their individual results.

3.Career Patching:

Career pathing refers to identifying a sequence of jobs through which an individual can expect to

progress towards high levels of management. Some organizations provide job progression plans

for all new employees, while others do it only for exceptionally bright and promising candidates.


30/77

Page 30

Career path information must be provided to the employees before a possible career path can be

charted out for them.

4.Career Development Programs:

Career development includes any and all activities that prepare a person for progression along a

designated career path. Career development usually involves both formal and informal means.

These programs maybe conducted in-house or by external sources, such as professional

organizations or colleges and universities and are organized by the T&D department of an

organization.

INTERNAL MOBILITY

There is a possibility in organizations that over a period of time an employee will change his role

or position, from one job to another laterally or vertically in the organization structure. This

kind of employees movement within an organization is known as internal mobility. Internal

mobility includes a cluster comprising, may take place between jobs in section, sections,

departments, division or even between plants in multi - plant operations.

PROMOTION

Promotion is the upward reassignment of an individual in an organizations hierarchy,

accompanied by increased responsibilities, enhanced status, and usually with increased income,

though not always so. On being promoted, the promoters duties and responsibilities increase,and the higher one goes in an organization the greater the implications of the individuals

decisions on the viability of the enterprise. After promotion, an individuals duties and

responsibilities usually become qualitatively different from those of this earlier job.

The following are the objectives of promotion:

1. It is recognition of a job well done by an employee.

2. It is a device to retain and reward and employee for his years of service to the company.

3. It is to increase individual and organizational effectiveness.

4. It is to promote a sense of job satisfaction in the employee.

5. It is to build loyalty, morale and a sense of belongingness in the employee.

6. It is to impress upon others that opportunities are open to them also in the organization, if

they perform well.

An internal mobility system also needs as supportive information system to make it viable.

It is desirable to have a central, maintain a detailed inventory of the skills of all employees and

coordinates all informationpromo -table posts available, posts vacant, number of employees on

transfer, permanent and temporary posts.


32/77

Page 32

When making internal mobility decisions, organizations tend to place emphasis on their

objectives, filling job vacancies, eliminating employee surpluses, correcting behavioral

problems, etc. Promotion maintains organizational effectiveness through maintenance of

employee moral and favorable attitudes towards the organization. Demotions frequently used as

from of disciplinary action since it represents loss of status and earning.

Transfers are required in the process of organization job requirements, job rotations and filling in

absenteeism, separations and termination, such as discharge and dismissal, from a part of the

outward mobility of an organization.

DEVELOPMENT INPUTS

There are three basic types of inputs; skills, attitudes, and knowledge.

The primary purposes of development is to establish a sound relationship between the

worker and his job-the optimum man-task relationship. such a relationship is at its best

when the workers attitude to the job is right, when the workers knowledge of the job is

adequate, and he has developed the necessary skills.

Development activities in an industrial organization are aimed at making desired

modifications in skills, attitudes and knowledge of employee so that they perform their

jobs most efficiently and effectively.

SKILLSDevelopment activities now a days encompass activities ranging from the acquisition of a

simple motor skill to a complex administrative one. Development an employee for a

particular skill is undertaken to enable him to be more effective on the job. for instance,

new workers can be trained to achieve levels of output attained by experienced older

workers. similarly existing workers whose levels of output are below par can be

retrained.

ATTITUDES

Through orientation (induction) programmes, organization develops attitudes in new

employees which are favourable toward the achievement of organizational goals.

Development programmes in industry are aimed at molding employee attitudes to achieve

support for company activities, and to obtain better cooperation and greater loyalty .

KNOWLEDGE

Development aimed at imparting knowledge to employees in the organization provides

for understanding of all the problems of modern industry. this knowledge for a worker is

specific to his job and related broadly to plant, machinery, material product, and quality

and standard of product. knowledge for managerial personnel may be related to

complexity of problems in organizing, planning, staffing, directing, and controlling.

IN-HOUSE TRAINING:

In-house training programs are programs offered exclusively for the employees of an

organization by the organization. The Training Department assesses the training needs of various

categories of employees periodically, invite suggestions from the senior executives of that

company on the training needs as perceived by them, keep in touch with the new developments

taking place in the outside world that have relevance to their own organizational activities and

periodically invite outside trainers to train their employees.

In the in-house training programmes, the training department may use its own senior employees

as trainers or may depend exclusively on outsiders or may use both sets of resources.

SPONSORED TRAINING:

As most organizations do not have sizeable units of training, it is easier for them to sponsor a

few employees for training by outside agencies.

DISTANCE TRAINING:

Distance training is the training conducted without the trainer being physically present nears the

trainee. The most well known forms of distance training are correspondence courses, auto-

teaching machines, programmed instruction materials, video and audio cassette programs,

alumni bulletins etc. This form of training is useful mainly to keep the trainee informed about

various developments in his field or to acquaint him with new technology, processes etc.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Career Development programs help people grow and continue after they begin their

employment. Career Development refers to helping individuals plan their future careers within

the organization. The objectives of career development are to help individuals achieve maximum

self-development and also to help the organization achieve its objectives.

INDIVIDUAL BENEFITS:

For the individual, the most immediate benefits of career development include a better job, more

money, increased responsibility, greater mobility, and the acquisition of skills that improve


37/77

Page 37

productivity. Career Development also provides less tangible benefits for individuals, such as

increased job satisfaction, the development of a career orientation rather than a job orientation,

increased involvement at work, greater exposure, a better understanding of what is expected and

broader knowledge of additional areas of career interest.

ORGANIZATIONAL BENEFITS:

Through the development of competent employees, organizations are able to identify future

managers and prepare them to achieve organizational goals. By developing competent

replacement managers, an organization is able to practice promotion from within, which

increases the level of motivation for aspiring managers.

Employees who remain in the same position for an extended period typically become obsolete,

either because of a lack of training or a lack of motivation. Career planning helps to prevent the

problems of obsolescence by providing employee training by moving employees into different

jobs, and by motivating employees to make valuable contributions to the organization. An

organization that tries to help employees plan their careers can benefit directly through lower

turnover and personal costs.

Evaluation of Development Programs

Development programs are conducted with a view to help the employees to acquire the

knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to perform the task assigned to them. They

are conducted in order to bring about a planned change which in turn involves

substantial investment of money, time and efforts. Therefore, one has to know whether

such an investment in development yielded the desired results. This desire naturally

leads to evaluation of development.

Evaluation means literally, the assessment of value or worth. Strictly speaking the act

of evaluating development is the act of judging whether or not it was worthwhile in

terms of some criterion of value, in the light of the information available. Evaluation

is the tool whereby information about the result of trainees, interaction with the

learning experiences systematically collected and analyzed. Thus, evaluation can

provide useful da ta both for improvement of training and enhanc ement of learning. In

brief it is important in 3 ways.

It indicates whether appropriate monetary investment is made on the

implementation of training programs.

It determines the degree of effectiveness and success of the development

programs.

It provides a basis for introductory the necessary corrective measures.

The benefits of constructive, practical evaluation of training substantially outweigh

the costs six direct benefits of evaluating training programs are:-

Quality Control: Quality control systems are designed to ensure that products

or services are fit for their intended purpose. Evaluation in training will assess the

extent to which work-related results can be demonstrated to arise from the training.

Successful, positive elements of training can be maintained and reinforced, whilst

negative elements removed or revised. If results cannot be justified, then it becomes

hard to justify the commitment of any resources to the training activity and they can

be re-allocated to


41/77

Page 41

where they may make a greater impact.

Efficient development design: It throws an emphasis on those elements of

a development system which matter, such as proper definition of objectives and

setting criteria on now these objectives are to be measured.

Enhanced professional esteem: Development professionals can gain

enhanced stature from having systematic evaluation of data rather than intuitive

assessment of their contribution to the business. Being assessed on their contribution

to the bottom-line of the business puts the HRD function on the same footing as

other functions, instead of claiming that the nature of their work does not allow an

application of the same criteria. This helps to break down the barriers facing the

integration of HRD professionals within the organization.

Enhanced negotiating power: On much the same tack evaluation makes it

possible for the HR function to demonstrate a successful contribution to the business

over a period of time. When resources are to be allocated and new investment

decisions to be made, them being able to show the outcomes of training would be

invaluable.

Appropriate criteria of assessment: Individuals within an organization

will make judgments about how effective the development function is, regardless of

whether an evaluation system is in place or not. Given this, it is very important that

the HR controls the choices of appropriate criteria, which it can most safely do on the

back of a formal evaluation process.

Intervention strategy: Evaluation can be a tool for changing the way that

development is integrated into the organization. It offers a means by which the HR

function can build on its enhanced esteem and negotiating power to play a more

active role in developing policies.

Different jobs require different capabilities. These capabilities can be considered fewer than four

categories:


42/77

Page 42

1. Technical

2. Managerial

3. Behavioural

4. Conceptual

TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES:

They deal with the technology of the job or the tasks the employee is expected to perform. They

include information, skills and knowledge.

MANAGERIAL CAPABILITIES:

They include the ability to organize, coordinate, plan, monitor, evaluate and redesign a variety of

activities. As managers have the task of getting things done by others with optimal use of

resources for achieving the best possible results, they need to possess managerial capabilities.

Knowledge of management techniques like PERT, systems analysis, performance budgeting etc.

are evidences of managerial capabilities. Management skills involve the application of these

techniques for better planning, better coordination, better monitoring, and for better achievement

of results.

BEHAVIOURAL CAPABILITIES:

These include leadership skills, ability to motivate others, communication skills, ability to work

as a team member, dynamism, initiative etc. Mere knowledge of behavioral sciences does not

ensure that person has behavioral capabilities. Attitudes and orientations play an important rolein determining the effectiveness of the employees to a great degree.


43/77

Page 43

CONCEPTUAL CAPABILITIES:

These involve conceptual understanding of one's own tasks in relation to those of others,

imagination, futuristic thinking, model building capabilities and perception of various tasks and

their interrelationships within the organization and outsid

Personal Development

Modern personal development is more than skills training. It offers useful alternative methods

compared to coaching and mentoring too. Effective modern Personal development now involves

various integrated techniques, theories and behavioural concepts, that extend options around

traditional ideas. This article provides examples of modern methods of developing people -

enabling real personal growth and change - for individuals and organizations. Optimising

individual performance through progressive personal development significantly improves

business performance too.This example of an integrated approach to personal development is

based on the work of UK-based psychotherapist Pam Weight. Her contribution of this free articleis gratefully acknowledged. Pam Weight's modern approach to personal and professional

development is born out of the study of these contemporary models, which are explained in more

detail later in this article:

Human development

Humanistic theories

Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and

Energy Psychology.


44/77

Page 44

The personal development process enables individuals to achieve critical personal changes,

specifically to:

update personal identity, attitude, values and beliefs

. increase congruency and satisfaction, and

release blocks which have been restricting the realisation of personal potential.

(In this context, 'congruency' means behaving and feeling naturally and

comfortably - ie, true to oneself.)

Modern Personal Development Applications

The integrated personal development approach is highly beneficial for most people.

It is however particularly effective for people who have experienced little orno benefit from

conventional training, especially where progress is blocked by issues raised in the training

process.

Integrated personal development is also particularly helpful where one-to-one coaching or

mentoring has had limited benefit, or has prompted surprising reactions.

Equally, those who want to develop themselves in some way, but cannot identify a particular

direction, will also benefit from this sort of modern integrated personal development.

Modern personal development differs from conventional training

methods,

Personal Development Essentials

by settling the reducing the effort required to live in the present

by formulating a compelling future

These fundamentals are rarely found in traditional skills training or coaching. The principles

underpin the process of effective personal development.

Modern Personal Development - an alternative to traditional

training methods

Modern personal development tends to achieve results because:

it creates balance in the system (the person as a whole)

- it is realistic (and is perceived by the person as being achievable and relevant)

it reduces stress, and

- it increases personal control

These factors are not commonly present in traditional skills training or one-to-one coaching, and

as such provide a useful alternative if traditional methods have not been effective.


46/77

Page 46

Personal Development Outcomes

Many situations benefit from the improvements arising from

effective personal development, for example:

within a corporate environment - producing better organizational performance and

effectiveness

to improve self-awareness

- to improve personal communication with others

to improve personal relationships with others

- reducing and resolving conflict and stress

Traditional training can of course produce good results in these areas, however,some people

require more focus on personal issues, which can be difficult for some types of traditional

training to address.

component theory examples Human Development -

Human development includes the 'nature and nurture' elements that determine who we are andhow we behave. Human development is a lifelong process beginning with 'nature'. Our 'nature'

elements are everything we bring into this world: from our genetic make-up, our conception, up

until our birth. After we are born, the 'nurture' process begins; namely every influence we

encounter that affects us: our environmental influences and behavioural conditioning by others.

We are each also subject to a slow continuous forming process; a sequence of stages through

which we each pass in the same order, over a number of years.

Throughout these stages other developments occur: brain development; motor development;

cognitive development; social development and development of self concept and basic trust. In

addition, and importantly, our emotional development.

Humanistic Theories

Humanistic theories focus on our inner capacity for growth and self-fulfillment; with the

emphasis on human potential. The early theorists referred to humans as being 'set up' or 'pre-

programmed' for growth and fulfillment, unless thwarted by an environment that restricts

growth.

From a humanistic perspective, a positive self-concept is the key to personal happiness and

success in life. Moreover,acceptance and empathy help us to nurture positive feelings

about ourselves, and that consequently we develop the capacity to extend and apply positive

feelings to others. Overall, a humanistic perspective purports that people are basically good, and

capable of self improvement.

Developing People And Capabilities

Many organizations face the challenge of developing greater confidence, initiative, solutions-

finding, and problem-solving capabilities among their people. Organisations need staff at all

levels to be more self-sufficient, resourceful, creative and autonomous. This behaviour enables

staff can operate at higher strategic level, which makes their organizations more productive and

competitive. People's efforts produce bigger results. It's what all organizations strive to achieve.

However, while conventional skills training gives people new techniques and methods, it won't

develop their maturity, belief, or courage, which is so essential for the development of

managerial and strategic capabilities. Again, focus on developing the person, not the skills.Try to

see things from the person's (your people's) point of view. Provide learning and experiences that

they'd like for their own personal interest, development and fulfilment. Performance and

capability are ultimately dependent on people's attitude and emotional maturity. Help them to

achieve what they want on a personal level, and this provides a platform for trust, 'emotional

contracting' with the organisation, and subsequent skills/process/knowledge development

relevant to managing higher responsibilities, roles and teams. Participative workshop work well

in beginning this type of attitudinal development. Involve people right from the start. Focus on

EVALUATION OF DEVELOPMENT

Development is the process of assisting a person for enhancing his efficiency and effectiveness at

work by improving and updating his professional knowledge, by developing skills relevant to his

work and cultivating appropriate behaviour and attitude towards work and people. Development

could be designed either for improving present capabilities at work or for preparing a person for

assuming higher. Responsibilities in future which would call for additional knowledge and

superior skills.

Development is different from education particularly formal education. While education is

concerned mainly with enhancement of knowledge, training aims essentially at increasing

knowledge, stimulating aptitude and imparting skills related to a specific job.

In India, considerable importance has been accorded to training in social development and this is

evident form the fact that the community spends roughly six million dollars annually on training

every year. But there are complains about the ineffectiveness of training and possible waste of

resources because of the use of stereotyped and conventional methods in training which are often

not set completely in tune with job requirements.

It is a continuous process

Development is a continuous and life long process. Right form the time a child is born he startsreceiving training form his mother for a variety of needs, so that he becomes a social being. His

development continues in the school and the college situations. However development as an

organized effort is designed with certain objectives, for example to help the trainees to be

informed of the subject matter which they have to use in their work situation. Apart from change

of attitudes, their skills have to be improved and knowledge or information has to be imparted

through effective methods. In other worlds, development provides and synthesizing with the help

of the trainers, the information already available on the subject. development is a time-bound

programme. Thus there is a separate specialized discipline of trainers specializing in the field of

human activity.

To develop MY OWN concept amongst its employees

Management tends to increase the we feeling among its employees. So that, they

(management) can create a sense of belonging in the minds of workers and can protectworkers against capitalist exploitation. To generate a feeling of family

employees mind.

Educate Employees To Make Them Feel A Part Of The

Organization To

Education is a light with which a person can judge between right and wrong. An

educated employees can understand its management and organization much better than an

uneducated one. It also strengthen the relation between the management and the workers.\

To be firm and fair in disciplinary/ IR matters-

Every person who does not obeys the rules and regulations are punished which becomes lesson

for other also management decision partial but fair and firm. Before punishing, the person is

given the reason for his punishment and if the person proves himself innocently he is forgiven.

The management rules are same for all.

Patient listening to the employees grievances and prompt

disposal there of-

SPR management takes active steps in solving the problems and the grievances of there

employees. The problem of employee becomes the problem of management till solved and they are

physically and emotionally devoted to solve the grievances. It brings the management and

employees closer to each other.

Freedom to speak on weakness of each other between management and workers

representatives- The weakness are over come by frank speaking by the representatives

of management and workers.

The help in development of not only a particular department but also the whole

organization.

To have only internal union. No outsider to interfere our

internal matters-

At SPR management and employees live like a family. The solution of every problem

is solved by the management and the internal union and no other outsider is involved.Outsiders always complicate the problems and for there benefits try to bring gap

between management and employees.

To care for the employees in there hardships at work and

family level-

Management always tries to solve the employees problem personnel or official and gives every

kind of assistance it can. This increase the feeling of brotherhood.

REWARD AND REORGANIZATION:

People join organization expecting rewards and reorganization. Firms distribute money and other

benefits in exchange of employees availability, competencies and behavior.

SPRL provides following to there employees in cash or kind:

-Reward for Worker of the month,

- Reward for Blood donors,

- Reward for Honesty,

- Reward for Best suggestion,

- Reward for Best sportsman,

- Reward for High performing children,

- Reward for Best attendance (Till now total cash award distributed is Rs.3.23 lacs).

Committe formed by human resource department

For monitoring a health IR at work HRD deptt. Of the works have formed following

committees:

Canteen managing committee

'Behavior is learned, earned reward encourages even better performance, thus reinforcing desired

behavior.

The term 'recognition' in the definition includes money rewards. Note that both job satisfaction

and money are motivating. One works to achieve that which one needs and which one does not

have, and this could be either one or the other or both. Attaining goals leads to feelings of self-

respect, strength and confidence. Few people are able to continue a pattern of achievement and

success without the added encouragement provided by others recognizing their achievements.

Continued failure and frustration and defeat can result in feelings of inadequacy and a

withdrawal from competitive situations. Persistent lack of rewards leads to a view of society as

being hostile and unrewarding.

It is what one does not have that one wants, one works to achieve that which one needs. Hence if

we know what people need and want then we know what they will work for, and like working

for, and so work well to achieve.

Needs and Wants People Strive to Achieve

1. First there are certain basic needs which have to be satisfied if people are to exist and survive,

such as:

I. Food and shelter, clothing and warmth.

II. Affection and esteem.


58/77

Page 58

III. Friendly and trustful co-operation and companionship.

Security from external threats (protection from attack).

2. Then other needs make themselves felt, such as:

I. Independence from domination by others (because of need, for example).

II. Security from internal threats (losing job, criminal activities, political

persecution).

III. Housing, education, good health.

IV. Help when in need.

V. Constructive work.

VI. Constructive leisure activities.

3. To which we can add the ones we have discussed:

I. Challenging work, which means scope to work at increasing levels of skill and

usefulness and thus of pay to the maximum of one's ability.

II. Maintaining and the chance for improving, one's position relative to colleagues.

III. Recognition of success by others (leads to feelings of self-respect, strength and

confidence).

IV.

Fair share of the national income and wealth.

V. Fair share of the international income and wealth.

These then are the needs and wants people strive, indeed struggle, to satisfy and overcome.

People will co-operate with each other and work hard and well to satisfy these needs and gain

much satisfaction from doing so.

Since motivation influences productivity, supervisors need to understand what motivates

employees to reach peak performance. It is not an easy task to increase employee motivation

because employees respond in different ways to their jobs and their organization's practices

IMPORTANCE/

SIGNIFICANCE

The significance of the study on training and by the new researchers has increased

due to rapidly changing technology and work culture in industrial environment due to

an increasingly skilled workforce and very competitive global marketing.

Development is very much essential to upgrade skills of employees in this scenario,

and for the aspiration of employees.

Thus, study on Effectiveness of Human Resource Development in the aspiration of

employees is extremely important to know that how employees are aspired by

development techniques.and what is the fruitful impact of employees on organization.

Page 62

LIMITATION

1.The data & its interpretation were based on averages therefore there may be different

conclusion when calculated through percentage.

2. Time constrains: Due to availability of less time, the sample size taken was small.

3. Employees of Shriram Pistan are not ready to give us time.

4. Sometimes the respondent was unwilling to reveal some data (e.g. frequency of changing

connection in a year).

Problems in Development

Some of the common problems in development which are often repeated are:

1.

Inaccurate need analysis

2. Trying to substitute training for selection and

3. Encapsulated development. The problems of encapsulated development are a result of

sending employees to learn new methods and ideas but not changing the old attitudes and

methods existing in the organization. Therefore, the new knowledge learnt by the trainee

remains encapsulated because of his inability to implement them in the uncharged work

situation.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research is the process of collecting and analyzing informationand ultimately arrived at certain

conclusion. Management in any organization needs information about employees to know thebehaviour of employees. Research includes all the activities that enable an organization to obtain

the information. This research is very important in strategy formulation and feedback of any

organizational plan.

Research Design:

The research design which has been used in the project report is descriptive research.

This is right in nature & focuses attention on the following:

Formulating the objectives of the study.

Designing the method of Data collection.

Reporting the findings.

Suggestions & modification if any.

CONCLUSION

On the basis of above results we derive to the conclusion that success of the organization is

depend upon there employees. It is possible only then when the employees of the organization

are developed. For this human resource department use various techniques sothat employees can

enhance their skill, knowledge, and learning and they can be aspired for fruitful results.

In the research I found that most of employees are aspired by development program and some

employees are ispired by self determination.there is higher motivated employees in category of

development program where as there is a lower motivated in the category of self determination.

On the basis of above results we derive to the conclusion that out of total sample there are more

70% of employees are aspired by the activities performed at SPRL
