Purpose This paper aims to investigate the prediction of current and evolutionary perceptions of professional development through five learning strategies at work and through training and how individual and job characteristics predict those strategies. Design/methodology/approach Variables were measured in a cross-sectional survey, with 962 individuals. Relationships were tested through linear regression analysis and structural equation modeling. Findings The criterion variable current professional development is positively associated to three learning strategies: intrinsic and extrinsic reflection, seeking help from others and trial and error. The relationship between this latter learning strategy and that criterion variable is moderated by work experience. Hours of training also predict that criterion variable. Seeking help from others and educational level predict perceived evolutionary development. Socio-cultural and technical-organizational work environment variables predict those five strategies. Research limitations/implications The cross-sectional research design yields potential for monomethod bias. Longitudinal, multilevel and multiple collection design studies should be conducted in the future. Originality/value A wide range of occupations and organizational contexts was investigated by using two different measures of professional development as criterion variables. A larger effect size was found for one of them, given just three learning strategies as antecedent variables. Training and formal education had smaller effects. The importance of taking into account different characteristics of workplace learning environments is highlighted.
Individuals and organizations develop strategies that facilitate or promote training in order to meet the demands imposed by technological progress and socio-political changes. However, there are methodological problems concerning the effects of such strategies which must be considered. Gaps persist on how to overcome those issues. To address this need, this study presents a review of Brazilian production in the training research area, focusing on the impact on work. Among 85 Brazilian articles, 24 research reports with this focus were identified, and were analyzed according to the standards used in international reviews. Results indicated several tendencies, such as a higher use of amplitude than of depth measures, and simultaneous data gathering of predictive and outcome variables. Some methodological issues were suggested for progress in this area, such as research studies with experimental designs and the multilevel approach. Delimitações metodológicas de pesquisas brasileiras sobre os efeitos de treinamentoResumo Indivíduos e organizações desenvolvem estratégias que facilitam ou promovem o treinamento, visando atender as demandas impostas pelo progresso tecnológico e mudanças sociopolíticas. Contudo, há questões metodológicas relacionadas aos efeitos de tais estratégias que devem ser consideradas. Persistem lacunas em como superar essas questões. Para atender a essa necessidade, este artigo apresenta uma revisão da produção brasileira em estudos na área de treinamento, focando em impacto no trabalho. Entre 85 artigos brasileiros, 24 relatos de pesquisa com esse foco foram identificados, os quais foram analisados de acordo com os padrões usados na literatura internacional. Os resultados indicaram algumas tendências, como um maior uso de medida em amplitude do que em profundidade e obtenção simultânea de dados relativos às variáveis preditivas e critério. Para o avanço nessa área, algumas questões metodológicas foram sugeridas, como pesquisas com delineamentos experimentais e a abordagem multinível.

In the dynamic and complex context of aviation, to recognize effects of Crew Resource Management (CRM) training allows to improve organizational practices that strengthen safety. Meeting that demand, two studies were conducted, aiming to: a) review the literature about evaluation of training, development, and education (TD&E) with emphasis on the methodological questions of Brazilian researches; and b) test a training effectiveness evaluation model, considering direct and indirect effects on the relationship among locus of control, applied learning strategies of training at work and training impact at work. The literature review showed a selective characteristic and focused only articles from journals with an expressive production on organizational behaviour, which obtained better classification than B2 in the evaluation of the Sistema Qualis from Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES).Possible advances that can be obtained through methodological rigor in research designs were highlighted. Results from linear regression analysis used in the test of the proposed model indicated that a) people with higher level of internality reported higher perception of work training impact; and b) negative effects can be nullified if people, with higher levels of externality, use applied learning strategies of training at work. Hence, such strategies have a mediator effect that suggests that their application may block possible negative influence generated by personal beliefs related to external locus of control. Outcomes in military aviation context may be improved if organizations encourage the use of applied learning strategies of training at work, in order to increase the CRM impact.
