STUDY ON EFFECTIVENESS ON TRAINING AND

DEVELOPMENT IN SV ltd

CHAPTER – 1

INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY

1.1 Introduction

William James of Harvard University estimated that employees could retain their

jobs by working at a mere 20-30 percent of their potential. His study led him to believe that

if these same employees were properly motivated, they could work at 80-90 percent of their

capabilities. Behavioral science concepts like motivation and enhanced productivity could

well be used in such improvements in employee output. Training could be one of the means

used to achieve such improvements through the effective and efficient use of learning

resources.

1.1.1. Training and Development

Human resources, are the most valuable assets of any organization, with the

machines, materials and even the money, nothing gets done without man-power. The

effective functioning of any organization requires that employees learn to perform their jobs

at a satisfactory level of proficiency. Here is the role of training. Employee training tries to

improve skills or add to the existing level of the knowledge so that the employee is better

equipped to do his present job or to prepare him for higher position with increased

responsibilities. However individual growth is not an end itself. Organization growth needs

to be meshed with the individual‘s growth. The concern is for the organization viability, thatit should adapt itself to a changing environment. Employee growth and development has to

be seen in the context of this change. So training can be defined as:

Training is a systematic development of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required by

employees to perform adequately on a given task or job

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


The need for improved productivity in organization has become universally accepted

and that it depends on efficient and effective training. However, the need for organizations

to embark on staff development programme for employees has become obvious. Absence of

these programme often manifest tripartite problems of incompetence, inefficiency and

ineffectiveness. So training and development aim at developing competences such astechnical, human, conceptual and managerial for the furtherance of individual and

organization growth which makes it a continuous process

1.2. Statement of Research Problem

Training and development play vital role in any given organizations in the modern

day. It is aimed at preparing employees for future or current jobs. The efficiency and

productivity of the firm can be increased considerably with right training methods. This is

the reason why HR department gives Training such a huge importance. So it is essential that

we conduct studies and experiment s to improvise our training methods.

The motive behind this study is to understand the effectiveness of training and

development programs on the employees of Srivirad Systems and Services Pvt ltd, Chennai.

The training cannot be measured directly but the change in attitude and behavior thatoccurs as a result of training. By studying and analyzing the response of employees

regarding training, we can make scientific conclusions, which is the core idea of this study.

Problem Statement

The intention of thi s research is to analyze and evaluate the eff ectiveness of train ing and

development process in Srivir ad Systems and Services, Chennai.

1.3. Need for the study

Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for doing a

particular job. It utilizes a systematic and organized procedure by which employee learns

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


technical knowledge and skills. Training refers to the teaching and learning activities carried

on for the primary purpose of helping members of an organization.

Training is closely related with education and development but needs to be

differentiated from these terms. It is aimed at improving the behavior and performance of a

person.

Training is a continuous and life long process. Training provides an atmosphere of

sharing synthesizing with the help of the trainers, the information already available on the

subject.

1.4. Significance of the study

The development of any organization depends on its employees. For organizational

productivity training and development assumes great significance. Training aims at

increasing the knowledge and skills of the employee whereas organizational development

on the other hand refers to overall improvement of the organization such as its structure,

objectives, policies and procedures including managers and employees. Organizational

development can be achieved by hiring the services of the professionals consultants.

Training and development programs are often viewed as part of organizational development.

A better knowledge about these things can facilitate the trainer as well as the trainee

in conducting and benefiting from the training. But training being a very complex process

makes it a bit difficult. So the best way to achieve it is by studying and analyzing the

feedback of employees as well as managers. The project includes collecting information

from staffs of Srivirad Systems and services, analyzing it, interpreting it, and concluding

useful suggestions from it.

Some of the benefits of project are listed below.

Our project is conducted to know the level of knowledge and skills imparted into

employees.

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


This will help the management to know the efficiency of their training programs as

well as the satisfaction level of employees and thus take necessary managerial

decisions.

The inferences made out of the project can help the employer and employee to

contribute for the better training facilities.

Any training and development program should meet both primary and secondary

objectives of the organization. The study will give light in the designing of better

training programs aiming solely at the desired results.

1.5. Objectives of Study

Primary Objective

To study the effectiveness of training and development programs in Srivirad

Systems and Services, Chennai.

Secondary Objectives

To analyze whether the employees are satisfied with their current training methods.

To collect and analyze the views of the participants and superior on the training.

To study the training program on the basis of relevance, implementation and

outcomes.

1.6. Methodology

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may

be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem

along with the logic behind them.

Methodology gives us the blueprint of activities to be carried out systematically in

order to complete the study successfully. The methodology of our study has several

steps[listed below] each of them are explained in chapter IV.

CHAPTER – 2

CONCEPT

Introduction

Training is the process of assisting a person for enchanting his efficiency and

effectiveness at work by improving and updating his professional knowledge by

developing skills relevant to his work and cultivating appropriate behavior and attitude

towards work and people.

Training could be designed either for improving present at work or for preparing

a person for assuming higher responsibilities in further which would call for additional

knowledge and superior skills.

Training is different education particularly formal education. While education is

concerned mainly with enhancement of knowledge, training aims essentially at

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

It is a continuous and life long process. Training provides an atmosphere of

sharing and synthesizing, with the help of the trainers, the information already available

on the subject. Training is a time bound activity program. Thus there is a separatespecialized discipline of trainers socializing in the field of human activity.

2.1. Meaning

A business' most important asset is often its people. Training and developing

them can be one of the most important investments a business can make. The right

training can ensure that your business has the right skills to tackle the future. It can also

help attract and retain good quality staff, as well as increasing the job satisfaction of

those presently with you - increasing the chances that they will satisfy your customers.

Thus Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of employee. It is

a universal truth that the human resources available in an organization have to be

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


The reaction:

The reaction level measures how training participants react, including their level

of participation; ease and comfort of experience; and the level of effort required to make

the most of the learning. A reaction evaluation is inexpensive and simple to administer

using interaction with the participants, post-training surveys and online questionnaires.

The evaluation can be done immediately after the training ends. It is important that

participants have a positive reaction to the training sessions because a negative reaction

leads to poor learning.

The learning:

Learning evaluations are usually conducted before and after a training program

to assess the impact the program has had on the learning process. Evaluations assess

whether participants have advanced in knowledge, skills and intellectual capacity as a

result of the training. Learning evaluation tools include self-assessment using online

questionnaires and tests, and formal assessment through interviews and observations.

Learning evaluation is especially relevant for technical training because technical skill

level changes are usually more quantifiable.

Behavior:

Behavior evaluation assesses the extent to which training participants apply the

learning in their jobs. The evaluation is usually done over a period of time to determine

if the participants use the new skills and knowledge on the job, improve their

performance and transfer the knowledge to their peers. Tools include observations,

questionnaires, tests and interviews. Behavior evaluations take more time and effort than

reaction and learning evaluations. It is important to involve the line managers and

immediate supervisors in the process because they are in the best position to observe andassess participant behavior changes.

Results:

Results evaluation determines the success of a training program in operational

and strategic terms, such as increased sales, reduced expenses, improved quality and

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


reduced cases of workplace injuries. However, it may not always be possible to correlate

improved operational performance with training. For example, improvements in product

quality may be due to better design tools and more qualified staff, not just a new quality

training program. External factors, such as changes in the economy and the competitive

environment, may also influence operational results.

2.3.2. Theory X and Theory Y

Theory X and Theory Y are theories of human motivation created and developed

by Douglas McGregor at the MIT Sloan School of Management in the 1960s that have

been used in human resource management, organizational behavior, organizational

communication and organizational development. They describe two contrasting models

of workforce motivation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_McGregor

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


A Theory Y manager believes that, given the right conditions, most people will

want to do well at work. They believe that the satisfaction of doing a good job is a

strong motivation. Many people interpret Theory Y as a positive set of beliefs about

workers. A close reading of The Human Side of Enterprise reveals that McGregor

simply argues for managers to be open to a more positive view of workers and the

possibilities that this creates. He thinks that Theory Y managers are more likely than

Theory X managers to develop the climate of trust with employees that is required for

human resource development.

It's human resource development that is a crucial aspect of any organization. This

would include managers communicating openly with subordinates, minimizing the

difference between superior-subordinate relationships, creating a comfortable

environment in which subordinates can develop and use their abilities. This climate

would include the sharing of decision making so that subordinates have say in decisions

that influence them.

Theory X and Theory Y combined

For McGregor, Theory X and Y are not different ends of the same continuum.

Rather they are two different continua in themselves.

2.3.3. Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs motivational model

Abraham Maslow developed the Hierarchy of Needs model in 1940-50s USA,

and the Hierarchy of Needs theory remains valid today for understanding human

motivation, management training, and personal development

The Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs five-stage model below (structure and

terminology - not the precise pyramid diagram itself) is clearly and directly attributable

to Maslow; later versions of the theory with added motivational stages are not so clearly

attributable to Maslow.

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


These extended models have instead been inferred by others from Maslow's

work. Specifically Maslow refers to the needs Cognitive, Aesthetic and Transcendence

(subsequently shown as distinct needs levels in some interpretations of his theory) as

additional aspects of motivation, but not as distinct levels in the Hierarchy of Needs.

Where Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is shown with more than five levels these

models have been extended through interpretation of Maslow's work by other people.

These augmented models and diagrams are shown as the adapted seven and eight-stage

Hierarchy of Needs pyramid diagrams and models below.

There have been very many interpretations of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in

the form of pyramid diagrams. The diagrams on this page are my own interpretations

and are not offered as Maslow's original work. Interestingly in Maslow's book

Motivation and Personality, which first introduced the Hierarchy of Needs, there is not a

pyramid to be seen.

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


1. Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep, etc.

2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, limits, stability, etc.

3. Belongingness and Love needs - work group, family, affection, relationships, etc.

4. Esteem needs - self-esteem, achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance,

prestige, managerial responsibility, etc.

5. Cognitive needs - knowledge, meaning, etc.

6. Aesthetic needs - appreciation and search for beauty, balance, form, etc.

7. Self-Actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking

personal growth and peak experiences.

8. Transcendence needs - helping others to achieve self actualization.

2.4. Institutional Training

Every organization needs the services of trained persons for performing the

activities in a systematic way. It is in this regard to some extent, training for the

students of business courses in various functional areas become mandatory before

entering in to the corporate Jobs.

No doubt, the employee training is required in every stage, very frequently.

Since, the fast changing technological development makes the knowledge of employees

obsolete. They require constant training to cope with the needs of corporate

sector. They require constant training to cope with the needs of jobs. After selecting the

employees the next task of management is to give them proper training. Someemployees may have some previous knowledge of jobs while others may entirely be

new. Both types of workers will need some kind of training to acquaint themselves with

the hobs though it is more necessary for the later category of employees.

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


Large organizations may employ a large number of persons every year. It may

not be possible to recruit already trained persons. Such enterprises require separate

training departments to prepare training for preparing workers for jobs and also keeping

them acquainted with latest technological advancement.

Training of employees is essential because work force is an invaluable asset to

an organization. Training is necessary for the following reasons.

« Increased Productivity

Training improves the performance of employees. Increase skill and efficiency

results in better quantity and quality of production. A trained worker will handle

machines carefully and will use the materials in an economical way.

« Higher Employee Morale

A trained worker derives happiness and job satisfaction from his work. He feels

happily when his performance is up to the mark. This also gives him job security and

ego satisfaction. The employees will properly look after a worker who performs

well. All these factors will improve employee‘s morale.

« Less Wastages

Untrained worker my waste more materials, damage machines and equipments

and may cause accidents. A trained worker will know the art of operating the machine

properly. He will also use the materials and other equipment in a systematic way

causing less wastage. The control of various wastes will substantially reduce the

manufacturing cost. The amount spend on training the workers will prove an asset to the

organizations.





8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


« Reduce Turnover And Absenteeism

Labor turnover and absenteeism are mainly due to job dissatisfaction. When a

worker is properly trained he will take keen interest in his job and can derive satisfaction

from it. A satisfied person may not like to leave his job and try at a new place.

« Employee Development

Training also helps in the development of employees. It first helps in locating

talent in them and then developing it to the maximum. The adaptability of a worker will

help him in working on new and improved jobs. If a worker learns fast then be able to

develop his talent and improve his performance.

2.5. Needs of Training

To enable the new recruits to understand work:

A person who is taking up his job for the first time must become familiar with it. For

example, if a fresh graduate is appointed as a clerk in a bank, he must first of all gainknowledge of work assigned to him.

To enable existing employees to update skill and knowledge.

Training is not something needed for the newly recruited staff alone. Even the existing

employees of a concern may require training. Such training enables them to update their

skill and knowledge.

To enable an employee who has been promoted to understand hisresponsibilities.

Training is essential for an employee who has just been promoted to a higher level job.

With an evaluation in his position in the organization, his responsibilities are also going

to multiply.



8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


To enable an employee to become versatile.

Sometimes an employee may have to gain knowledge of several related jobs. It will not

be enough if he is only good in the work he does presently.

2.6. Purpose of training

One of the main purpose of training is to prevent industrial accidents. This is

done by creating safety consciousness among workers.

When the employees are trained it enables them to achieve the required level of

performance which in turns increases the productivity.

Training helps in increasing the knowledge and skills of employee

When the employees are trained it becomes easy for them to adapt themselves

according to the changes made in business.

Training reduces the cost of supervision. Trained employees needs less guidance

which in turns reduces the needs for supervision.

2.7. Importance of Training

Improvement in skill and knowledge:

Such training helps the employees to perform his job much better. This benefits the

enterprise as well.

Higher production and productivity:

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


If an enterprise has a team of well trained employees there will be rise in production as

well as increase in productivity. Productivity is the input- output ratio

Job satisfaction:

Trained employees will be able to make better use of the making of their skill. This

increases their level of self confidence and commitment to work. Such employees are

bound to have higher job satisfaction.

Better use of resources:

Trained employees will be able to make better use of materials and machines. This

reduces the rate of wastage and spoilage of materials and also breakage of tools and

machines

Reduction in accidents:

Trained employees are aware of safety precautions and so they are alert and cautious.

This is bound to bring down the number of accident in the works place.

Reduced supervision:

Well trained employees do not need much supervision. They can do their work without

having to approach their superior often for guidance.

Reduction in complaints:

‗Only bad workers blame their tools‘. An employee who has acquired the necessary skill

and job knowledge would certainly love his job.

Adaptability:

Trained workers have the capacity to adapt themselves to any kind of situation. They are

odd in crisis management too. This indeed is beneficial for the organization.

Scope for management by exception:

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


With trained workers working under them, it becomes easy for the managers to get

things done by delegating authority. This enables the managers to concentrate more on

important issues confronting the organization.

Stability:

―The employees of today are going to be the managers of tomorrow‖. The retirement of

key managers may not affect the stability of an organization if it has a team of trained,

efficient and committed employees who are ever ready to take over management.

2.8. Features of training

The features of good training programs are as follows:-

Clear purpose:

The objective of the programme should be clearly specified. The training should be

result oriented.

Training needs:

The training needs of employees should be clearly defined. The methods selected for

imparting training should be appropriate and effective.

Relevance:

The training programme and its contents must be relevant to the requirements of the job

for which it is intended.

Balance between theory and practice:

A good training programme should provide a balanced mix of theory and practice the

theoretical framework should be backed by practical application to provide all round

training

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


Management support:

Top management must actively support the training programme so that the training

programme may help the employees to yield better results. Once the employees get the

support form management support the perform there job more effectively.

2.9. Steps involved in training:

Step1:

Define the chart part of the organization in which the work has to be done. It is to have a

focused approach of the study. It could either be a particular department, a section, a

unit, a specific group or a staff category.

Step2:

Use various data collection measures to collect both qualitative as well as quantitative

data.

Step3:

Analyze the entire data collected in order to find out causes of problem areas and

priorities areas, which need immediate attention.

Step4:

Priorities the different training programmes according to the responses collected.

Step5:

Record and file the entire data so that it can be used for future reference while designingtraining programmes/ training calendar.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Introduction

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be

understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study

the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research

problem along with the logic behind them.

Research methodology has many dimensions and research methods do constitute a part

of the research methodology. The scope of research methodology is wider than that of

research methods. Thus, when we talk of research methodology we not only talk of the

research methods but also consider the logic behind the methods we use in the context of

our research study and explain why we are using a particular method or technique and

why we are not using others so that research results are capable of being evaluated either

by the researcher himself or by others. Why a research study has been undertaken, how

the research problem has been defined, in what way and why the hypothesis has been

formulated, what data have been collected and what particular method has been adopted,

why particular technique of analyzing data has been used and a host of similar other

questions are usually answered when we talk of research methodology concerning a

research problem or study.

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


4.1. Topic of Study

This study focuses on the effectiveness of training and development processes in

Srivirad Systems and Services Pvt ltd. Training is the process of increasing the

knowledge and skills of the employee. A better knowledge about these things can

facilitate the trainer as well as the trainee in conducting and benefiting from the training.

But training being a very complex process makes it a bit difficult. So the best way to

achieve it is by studying and analyzing the feedback of employees as well as managers.

The project includes collecting information from staffs of Srivirad Systems and services,

analyzing it, interpreting it, and making observation and providing useful suggestions

from it.

This study helps to know the impact of training process on employees in the

organization. And also it enables to know the attitude of employees towards training,

satisfaction of employees, efficiency of training programs and trainers, and impact of

training on the productivity of the organization.

This study provides the management with information regarding the effectiveness of

their training process and the satisfaction level of their employees with which they can

understand the areas of strengths and weaknesses of their training program and their by

take necessary managerial decisions.

The study mainly deals with the efficiency of training processes which has to b

increased. The objective, relevancy of training, methods, materials, environment and

time duration of training, personal satisfaction of employees all affect the effectiveness

of training. The study tries to cover as many areas as possible in order to come with the

best and accurate conclusions. The feedbacks of the participants and trainers of training

process have contributed a lot to achieve this.

4.2. Sources of Data

Data refers to information or facts however it also includes descriptive facts, non

numerical information, qualitative and quantitative information

Data could be broadly classified as

Primary data

Secondary data

4.2.1. Primary data

Primary data is the data collected for the first time through field survey. It is collected

with a set of objectives to assess the current status of any variable studied. Primary data

reveals the cross-section picture of the object under scruting. Therefore primary data are

those collected by the investigator (or researcher) himself for the first time and thus they

are original in character.

Advantages of primary data

They are the first hand information.

The data collected are reliable as they are collected by te researcher for himself.

The primary data are useful for knowing opinion, qualities and attitudes of

respondents.

4.2.2. Secondary data

Secondary data refers to the information or facts already collected. It is collected with

objective of understanding the part status of any variable or the data collected and

reported by some source is accessed and used for the objective of a study. Normally in

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


research, the scholars collect published data analyze it in order to explain the

relationship between variables.

Advantages of secondary data

The information can be collected by incurring least cost.

The time required for obtaining the information is very less.

Most of the secondary data are those published by big institutions. So they

contain large quantity of information

4.2.1 Sources of information

Primary data

i. Questionnaire or schedule

ii. Observation

iii. Feedback form

iv. Interview

v. Projective techniques

vi. Content analysis

vii. Consumer panels

Secondary data

i. Book

ii. Periodicals or journals

iii. Research thesis and dissertations

iv. Footnotes

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


v. Encyclopedias

vi. Statistical data sources

vii. Websites/blogs

4.3. Tools Used for Data Collection

Data collection tools are instruments used to collect information for performance

assessments, self-evaluations, and external evaluations. The data collection tools need to

be strong enough to support what the evaluations find during research. The researcher

has used the method of interview to collect the information in that organization and

other techniques like observation to collect primary data.

4.3.1. Questionnaire

The questionnaire contains two parts; Part A and Part B. Part A contains personal

questions. The question about name is avoided to get true answers from respondents.

The questions such as marital status, age, gender are asked because they have individual

influence on the study.

Part B contains 20 questions. All questions are provided with options and all of them

were given with checkbox such that the employees can easily record their response.

4.3.2. Observation technique

It is well known that observation is a method of collecting data with sensible

organs in understanding less explained or explained phenomena.

In this method researcher observes some of the data like utilization of resources,level of performance of workers, idle time given for workers, training frequency etc.

8/12/2019 Trg&Dev


4.4. Research design

A research design is the assignment of conditions for collection and analysis of

data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the search purpose formidable

problem that follow the fact defining the research is the preparation in this study the

researcher has made use of the descriptive research design this is used to determine

some definitive purpose with the help of structured questionnaire to further primary

information to focus on the accurate description of the variable present in the problem

4.5. Sampling

Sampling is concerned with the selection of a subset of individuals from within a

population to estimate characteristics of the whole population.

Researchers rarely survey the entire population because the cost of a census is

too high. The three main advantages of sampling are that the cost is lower, data

collection is faster, and since the data set is smaller it is possible to ensure homogeneity

and to improve the accuracy and quality of the data. In the study researcher has used

probability sampling.

4.5.2. Sample size

The total number of population [employees] is 150. It would be time consuming

as well as difficult to interview all 150 employees. So he researcher has selected 30% of

population for sampling. The samples were selected using simple random sampling

techniques ie every individual in the total population had equal chances of being

selected.

4.6. Selection of Sample Respondents

4.6.1. Simple random sampling

A simple random sample is a subset of individuals (a sample) chosen from a

larger set (a population). Each individual is chosen randomly and entirely by chance,

such that each individual has the same probability of being chosen at any stage during

the sampling process, and each subset of k individuals has the same probability of being

chosen for the sample as any other subset of k individuals. This process and technique is

known as simple random sampling.

In our study the total population (employees who participated in training ) is 150. Every

employee of the population had equal chances of being selected among which 45 (30%)

employees were chosen to conduct the study.

4.7. Tools Used for Data Analysis

For this research researcher has used some of the tolls like probability, graphical

methods, pie charts, bar diagram etc for doing the data analysis.

4.7.1. Chi square

Pearson's chi-squared is used to assess two types of comparison: tests of goodness of

fit and tests of independence.

A test of goodness of fit establishes whether or not an observed frequency

distribution differs from a theoretical distribution.

A test of independence assesses whether paired observations on two variables,

expressed in a contingency table, are independent of each other — for example,

whether people from different regions differ in the frequency with which they

report that they support a political candidate.

The first step in the chi-squared test is to calculate the chi-squared statistic. In order

to avoid ambiguity, the value of the test-statistic is denoted by Χ2 rather than χ

2 (which

is either an uppercase chi instead of lowercase, or an upper case roman X ); this also

serves as a reminder that the distribution of the test statistic is not exactly that of a chi-

squared random variable. However some authors do use the χ 2 notation for the test

statistic. An exact test which does not rely on using the approximate χ 2 distribution is

Fisher's exact test: this is substantially more accurate in evaluating the significance level

of the test, especially with small numbers of observations.

The chi-squared test statistic is calculated by finding the difference between each

observed and theoretical frequency for each possible outcome, squaring them, dividing

each by the theoretical frequency, and taking the sum of the results. A second important

part of determining the test statistic is to define the degrees of freedom of the test: this is

essentially the number of observed frequencies adjusted for the effect of using some of

those

4.7.1. MS excel

Microsoft Excel is a commercial spreadsheet application written and distributed

by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. The application was used to

organize and analyze the raw data collected from survey. Excel was also helpful in

making graphical representations of the organized data.

4.7.2. SPSS

SPSS is a computer program used for survey authoring and deployment (IBM

SPSS Data Collection), data mining (IBM SPSS Modeler), text analytics, statistical

analysis, and collaboration and deployment. The program was helpful in conducting the

chi square test..

4.8.5. Skills

Skills are applying knowledge in an effective and efficient manner to get

something done. One notices skills in an employee by their behaviors.

4.8.6. Task

A task is a typically defined as a unit of work, that is, a set of activities needed to

produce some result, e.g., vacuuming a carpet, writing a memo, sorting the mail, etc.

Complex positions in the organization may include a large number of tasks, which are

sometimes referred to as functions.

4.8.7. Job

A job is a collection of tasks and responsibilities that an employee is responsible

to conduct. Jobs have titles.

4.8.8. Role

A role is the set of responsibilities or expected results associated with a job. A

job usually includes several roles.

4.8.9. Learning

Typically, learning is viewed as enhancing one's knowledge, understanding or

skills. Some people see learning as enhancement to one's knowledge, awareness and

skills. Some professionals view learning as enhancing one's capacity to perform. Some

view learning as a way of being that includes strong value on receiving feedback and

increasing understanding.

It's important to note that learning is more than collecting information -- more

than collecting unreferenced books on a shelf. Depending on the needs of the learner,

knowledge is converted to skills, that is, the learner knows how to apply the knowledge

to get something done. Ideally, the skills are applied to the most appropriate tasks and

practices in the organization, thereby producing performance -- results needed by the

organization. Here's another perspective.

4.8.10. Continuous Learning

Simply put, continuous learning is the ability to learn to learn. Learning need not

be a linear event where a learner goes to a formal learning program, gains areas of

knowledge and skills about a process, and then the learning ceases. If the learner can

view life (including work) as a "learning program", then the learner can continue to learn

from almost everything in life. As a result, the learner continues to expand his or her

capacity for living, including working.

4.8.11. Education

This term seems to be the most general of the key terms in employee training.

Some professionals view education as accomplishing a personal context and

understanding of the world, so that one's life and work are substantially enhanced, e.g.,

"Go get an education." Others view the term as the learning required to accomplish a

new task or job. Here's another perspective.

4.9. Hypothesis

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. The term derives from the

Greek, ὑποτιθέναι – hypotithenai meaning "to put under" or "to suppose". For a

hypothesis to be put forward as a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires

that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous

observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories.

Even though the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously, a

scientific hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A working hypothesis is a

provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research.

4.10. Period of the Study

This study was conducted in Srivirad Systems and Services with a period of 30

days.

Initial five days were spent on data collection.

Next 6 days were engaged with the employees to have a personal contact

with them.

The next 15 days were used to help up in the HR department concerns

such as conducting meetings, applications arranging and informing

meeting etc.

The last 5 days were used to circulate the questionnaire and collect reply

from employees.

4.11. Limitations of Study

Some difficulties were encountered while doing the project. The limitations were listed

below.

The employees of the Srivirad systems and services found it difficult to answer

questions properly due to their busy and heavy workload.

Some were reluctant to answer some question thinking that might affect their job

negatively.

The primary collection of data was time consuming, as the employees were busy.

Sample size was 20% of total population.

The total time allowed by company to do the project.

Being a very lengthy and complex process it is difficult to analyze the details of

training and process.

The working personals are not proffered to give complete information

CHAPTER – 5

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

Introduction

Analysis and interpretation is the one of the important stage of a project. In this

stage the recorded responses are coded into symbols, for making counting, edited,

tabulated and represented in appropriate pictorial form.

The responses in the questionnaire have its own value in making a true

interpretation. There are 45 respondents for the study. The questions are created in a way

that the ambiguity is avoided. After preliminary scrutiny of the filled questionnaires, it is

noticed that all the respondents marked their responses to important questions which will

lead the study.

The responses of the questionnaires are tabulated and represented in percentages

to get a clear cut picture about the responses. It made the interpretation quite easier on

the basis of percentages chart is drawn. The selected pie chart was very useful for the

interpretation.

The interpretation for questions which seeks Yes or No answers was easy

because comparative majority can be identified by the percentage. Diagrammatic

representations are given for each question in order to make the finding s more clearly to

the reader. Along with simple bar diagrams and pie charts new 3D representation

methods are also used to make the presentation more interactive.

The questionnaire contains two parts. Part A is about personal data and Part B

about the necessary questions

SUMMARY AND FINDINGS

6.1. Observations and Findings

Though by and large, substantial number of employees are content with the way the

educated. Their level of education was from diploma holders to engineering

graduates

Majority of the employees stated that they were informed about the purpose of

training, its intended results and significance of training. This reflects that the

active.

6.3. Conclusions

Analysis of all the facts & figures, the observations and the experience during the

training period gives a very positive conclusion/ impression regarding the training

imparted by the Srivirad Systems and Services trainers. The Srivirad Systems and

Services is performing its role up to the mark and the trainees enjoy the training

imparted especially the practical sessions and simulations.

The training imparted meets the objectives like:

o Effectiveness of the training and its resultant in the performance of the

employees.
