Measuring The Effectiveness and Success Rate of Training Programs

Abstract

Training activities are designed to achieve targets and the success will be viewed based on the changes. Obstacles occur when running a training program, especially when measurable, accountable and objective methods are imposed to assess success. Formulas and formulations of effectiveness and success are often considered the same. An effective training program is characterized by the understanding of the participants, while the success of the training is seen from the actual implementation of the understanding of the training material into real work. This study intends to analyze and conceptualize ways of measuring the effectiveness and success rate of a training program implementation. The data analyzed are illustrative data for two groups: Training 1 and Training 2. Quantitative analysis and multivariate statistical techniques are employed for several variables. The results of the analysis describe the methods of measurement that can calculate the effectiveness and determine the level of success of a training program. The results obtained are also supported by further analysis of paired samples test, correlation test and model test involving a mediator. The results obtained in this paper are illustrative data so their accuracy should be later practised in activities that require a calculation of effectiveness and success rates, such as interventions, training and counselling.
