Qn-the-Job Training: Tips for Ensuring Success

Abstract

<jats:p> Organizations can get better return on investment by following the training guidelines described here </jats:p>

Is transfer of training related to firm performance?

“…That on‐the‐job training predicted both transfer of training and firm performance is perhaps not that surprising as on‐the‐job training is ‘close’ to the work environment, as outlined by identical elements theory (Thorndike & Woodworth, ). This is an important finding as many organizations, especially small organizations, rely heavily upon on‐the‐job training (DeRouin et al ., ).…”

“…The results of this study suggest that organizations might not realize the benefits of training for firm performance if they do not ensure that the trained knowledge and skills are used on the job. Based on the results of this study, one way for organizations to facilitate the transfer of training is by providing on‐the‐job training (see DeRouin et al ., ). As such, an important implication of this study is that organizations should use well‐designed on‐the‐job training either as a stand alone training program or as a major component of classroom and computer‐based training.…”

Perceptual (Re)learning: A Leverage Point for Human-Centered Computing

“…24 Now here is how these two facts come together: Any method for accelerating the achievement of expertise will hinge on the ability to support the processes of learning and perceptual relearning of dynamic cue configurations, including those that exist across multiple data types. Although the value of "on-the-job" training is clear, 30 it generally doesn't explicitly focus on perceptual learning and often lacks adequate organizational procedures and adequate management or organizational support. 31 Thus, we find a role for intelligent, humancentered systems.…”

From managing nurses to serving nurses: The case for transfusing nursing management with servant leadership during the global COVID-19 pandemic

“…To that end, a servant leader nurse should consider advocating for nurse educators and nurse preceptors to receive formal training on how to train their fellow nurses effectively or even take on an active role in such training. I-O psychologists have identified "training the trainer" as a best practice for improving on-the-job training (e.g., Derouin et al, 2005), and some nursing programs have implemented such training for their clinical faculty (e.g., Bell-Scriber & Morton, 2009). Effective training is especially important for preparing nurses and other healthcare professionals to successfully navigate emergency scenarios (e.g., see Fung et al, 2015).…”
