1. INTRODUCTION

TRAINING:

Page 7: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

Employee training is the most important sub-system of Human Resource

Development. After an employee is selected, placed and introduced in an organization

he or she must be provided with training facilities in order to adjust him to the job.

Training can be described as “the acquisition of knowledge, skills, concepts or

attitudes that result in improved performance within the job environment”. Training

analysis looks at each aspect of an operational domain so that the initial skills,

concepts and attitudes of the human elements of a system can be effectively identified

and appropriate training can be specified.

Training analysis as a process often covers:

Review of current training

Task analysis (of new or modified system)

Identification of training gap

Statement of training requirement

Assessment of training options

Cost benefit analysis of training options

Training Analysis is most often used as part of the system development process.

Due to the close tie between the design of the system and the training required, in

most cases it runs alongside the development to capture the training requirements.

Training is an organized process for increasing knowledge and skills of people

for a definite purpose. The purpose of training is to improve the employee’s current

job performance.

An organization that aspires to grow must be in tune with the changing need of

the society. Training reduces the gap by increasing employee’s knowledge, skill,

ability and attitude. For the proper functioning of any business organization, the

management of the organization concerned must employ a training program to groom

its associates with business skill and practical knowledge. In addition to a standard

training program, there must be a certain measure of training performance.

Page 8: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

Training makes a very important contribution to the development of the

organizations Human Resource and hence to the achievement of its aims and

objectives. It improves changes and moulds the employee’s knowledge, skill,

behavior and attitude towards the requirement of the job and the organization.

The importance of the training and development are many in number. Primarily

it helps in the optimization of the utilization of human resources that ultimately

provides the candidates as well as the individuals to achieve the goals. It also helps in

improving the human resources technical and behavioral skills which leads in

attaining personal growth of the candidates.

BENEFITS OF TRAINING:

Training enables the employee to attain the following benefits,

1. QUICK LEARNING:

Training helps to reduce the learning time to reach the acceptable level

of performance.

2. HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY:

Training increases the skill of the new employee in his performance of

a particular job.

3. STANDARDISATION OF PROCEDURES:

With the help of training, the best available methods of performing the

work can be standardized and taught to all candidates.

4. LESS SUPERVISION:

Training does not eliminate the need for supervision, but it

reduces the need for detailed and constant supervision.

5. ECONOMICAL OPERATIONS:

Trained personnel will be able to make better and economical use of

materials and equipments.

Page 9: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

6. REDUCED ACCIDENTS:

Proper training in both job skills and safety attitudes should contribute

towards a reduction in the accident rate.

7. HIGHER MORALE:

A good training program will mould candidates attitudes towards

organizational activities and generate better co-operation and greater

loyalty.

TYPES OF TRAINING:

On the basis of purpose, several types of training programs are offered to the

candidates. They are,

1. INDUCTION OR ORIENTATION TRAINING:

Induction is concerned with introducing or orienting a new employee

to the organization and its procedures, rules and regulations.

2. JOB TRAINING:

Job training is the most common in plant training programs. It

relates to specific job which the worker has to handle. It develops

skills and confidence among the workers.

3. APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING:

This training program tends more towards education than merely

on the vocational training. Under this, both knowledge and skills are

developed.

4. INTERNSHIP TRAINING:

Page 10: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

Under this method, an educational or vocational institute enters into

arrangement with an industrial enterprise for providing practical

knowledge to its students.

METHODS OF TRAINING:

There are three different types of methods to train the candidates. They are as

follows.

1. ON THE JOB TRAINING:

2. OFF THE JOB TRAINING.

3. VESTIBULE TRAINING.

ON THE JOB TRAINING

Page 11: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

The worker is given training at the work place by his immediate

supervisor. Worker learns in an actual work environment. The different types of on

the job training are,

a. COACHING:

Supervisor gives direct instruction and guidance to the trainee. He

demonstrates how to do the job.

b. UNDERSTUDY:

Candidate becomes an assistant to current job holder. He learns by

experience and observation.

c. JOB ROTATION:

Trainee is periodically rotated from job to job. He learns a variety of

tasks and develops a better view of the organization.

d. POSITION ROTATION:

Used by many organizations to develop all round workers.

OFF THE JOB TRAINING:

It requires workers to undergo training for a specific period away from the

work place. Concerned with both knowledge and skills in doing certain jobs. The

different types of off the job training are,

a. SPECIAL LECTURE CUM DISCUSSION:

Some executives of the organization or specialists from vocational and

professional institutes may deliver special lectures.

b. CONFERENCE TRAINING:

Page 12: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

A conference is a group meeting conducted according to an organized

plan in which the members seek to develop knowledge and

understanding by oral participation.

c. CASE STUDY:

The trainees are given a problem or case, which is more or less related

to the concepts and principles already taught.

d. ROLEPLAY:

Conflict is artificially created and the trainees are assigned different

roles to play. Trainees are given a description of the situation and role

they are to play.

VESTIBULE TRAINING:

Vestibule training is used to designate training in a class room for semi-skilled

jobs, where large number of candidates must be trained at the same time for the same

kind of work.

A vestibule school is established in an industrial plant. An attempt is made to

duplicate as nearly as possible, the actual material, equipment and conditions found in

the real workplace. Qualified instructors are employed. Initial nervousness of the

trainees is also removed.

Trainees do not contribute to production during the training period. Line

managers will blame the instructors if trainee’s performance is poor. Since it is an

expensive method, it cannot be applied in small organizations. It is used to give

training to candidates in large numbers.

2. COMPANY PROFILE

2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY:

A well developed transport network indicates a well developed economy. For

rapid development a well-developed and well-knit transportation system is essential.

As India’s transport network is developing at a fast pace. Indian automobile Industry

is growing too. Also, the Automobile Industry has strong backward and forward

linkages and hence provides employment to a large section of the population. Thus

the role of Automobile Industry cannot be overlooked in Indian economy. All kinds of

vehicles are produced by the Automobile Industry. Indian Automobile Industry

includes the manufacture of trucks, buses, passenger cars, defense vehicles, two-

wheelers, etc. The industry can be broadly divided into the car manufacturing, two-

wheeler manufacturing and heavy vehicle manufacturing units. The major car

manufacturers are Hindustan Motors, MarutiUdyog, Fiat India Private Ltd., Ford

India Ltd., General Motors India Private Ltd., Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., Hyundai

Motors India Ltd., Skoda India Private Ltd., ToyatoKirloskar Motor Ltd., to name a

few. The two-wheeler manufacturing is dominated by companies like TVS, Honda

motorcycle & scooter India ( Pvt.) Ltd., Hero Honda, Yamaha, Bajaj, etc. The heavy

motors like buses, tucks, defense vehicles, auto rickshaws and other multi-utility

vehicles are manufactured by Tata- Telco, Ashok Leyland, Eicher Motors, Bajaj,

Mahindra and Mahindra, etc.

AUTOMOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA:

Automobile Technology in India is one of the essential parts of the

automobile industry of India. There are a large variant of vehicles available in the

automobile market of India and all these needs diverse technologies to operate.

It can be said that the history of technologies started from the period of steam-

driven engines and today have reached to the stage of jet motivated aircraft. Each

component that makes an automobile operates on the basis of a certain technology. It

should be noted that if any of these auto parts malfunctions, then the entire

Page 14: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

automobile will get stranded. Hence, the owner and the driver of the vehicle should

have a clear idea regarding the Automobile Technology in India.

The major change that took place in the automobile industry in India and in

the technology of the automobile in India is in the development of engines. In the cars

using petrol, the carburetor engines are no longer in use and these have been replaced

by Multi Point Fuel Injection engines. Similarly, in the use of the diesel engines also

there is a change observed from Rudolf Diesel being used in the 19th century to the

use of common rain direct injection technology.

The latest automobile technology in India used for the petrol driven vehicles

is the MPFI or the Multi Point Fuel Injection, which helps in keeping the pollutants at

minimum levels to derive the maximum functional performance from a vehicle. The

main benefits of the use of this Automobile Technology in India are:

o Superior fuel combustion.

o Engine performance.

o Better fuel management.

o Reduced pollution.

Two Major companies namely TATA and ASHOK LEYLAND have

dominated commercial vehicle industry. Tata’s market Share is 45% and that of

Ashok Leyland is 38%, Volvo, Tetra, Mitsubishi, Toyota etc., Share the remaining

17%. The Commercial vehicle picked up for the first time in the past few years

where both Ashok Leyland and Telco were

busy in expanding their operations to meet the expected growth in the demand for the

vehicles.

Commercial Vehicle segment has been diverted into three divisions, LDV

(Light Duty Vehicle), MDV (Medium Duty Vehicle), and HDV (Heavy Duty

Vehicle). Tata and Ashok Leyland have been engaged in manufacturing all these kind

of vehicle. Volvo manufactures MDV and HDV and heavy-duty vehicles are

manufactured by tetra.

Page 15: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

Tata has been able to hold its position for a very long period due to its tie up

with a US company, Cummins Engine for Manufacturing superior quality products

and its domination in the north India, where as Ashok Leyland has captured south

India market.

It is well known fact that all commercial vehicles have adopted the euro

emission control norms as laid down by the government of India. Tata and Ashok

Leyland are the first member of their Euro Emission Norms.

Recently there is fall in the commercial Vehicle segments reason for this fall is

that the escalating operating cost. There has been a 68% increase in the diesel price in

the last year. Today 58-60% of the operating cost is accounted for the diesel

consumption. Another equally important factor is the growing competition and

efficiency of the railways.

3. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

William James (1998, P.18) of Harvard University reports that employee

could retain their jobs by working at mere 20-30 percent of their potential. His

research led him to believe that if these same candidates 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 for such improvement

through the effective and efficient use of learning resources.

Jack Welch (1999, P.21) Companies can't promise lifetime employment,

but by constant training and education we may be able to guarantee lifetime

employability. Organization and individual should develop and progress

simultaneously for their survival and attainment of mutual goals. So every modern

management has to develop the organization through human resource development.

Employee training is the important sub-system of human resource development.

Employee training is a specialized function and is one of the fundamental operative

functions for human resources management.

C. K. Prahalad (1997 P.8) says that mentoring requires special skills,

but it does not require hierarchical position. After an employee is selected, placed and

introduced he or she must be provided with by training facilities. Training is the act of

increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a particular job. Training

is a short-term educational process and utilizing a systematic and organized procedure

by which candidates learn technical knowledge and skills for a definite purpose. Dale

S.

Beach (1996 P.14) define the training as “The organized procedure by

which people learn knowledge and /or skill for a definite purpose”. In other words,

training improves changes and moulds the employee’s knowledge, skill behavior and

aptitude and attitude towards the requirements of the job and the organization.

Training refer to the teaching and learning activities carried on for the primary

purpose of helping members of an organization to acquire and apply the knowledge,

skill, abilities and attitudes needs by a particular job and organization.

Page 26: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

Robert Haas (1994 P.17) suggest that “You can't train anybody to do anything that

he or she doesn't fundamentally believe in”. Training needs are identified on the basis

of organizational analysis, job analysis and man analysis. Training program, training

methods and course content are to be planned on the basis of training needs. Training

needs are those aspects necessary to perform the job in an organization in which

employee is lacking attitude/aptitude, knowledge, and skill.

Training needs = Job and organizational requirement Employee specifications.

Robert Louis Stevenson says it was a world almost without a feature; an empty sky,

and empty earth; front and back the line of railway stretched from horizon to horizon,

like a cue across a billiard-board.

RESEARCH PAPERS:

TRAINING AND DEVELOPING A WORK FORCE 

Singara (edition 2001): This paper is a guide to companies when executing the

training of a new work force. The researcher shows how job training is crucial for the

workers as well as for the corporations. He indicates that companies are paying more

attention to the training and development then to recruiting. There are many changes

that are being made to the process of training and developing a new work force

mainly towards developing existing skills and acquiring new ones. The paper

examines several factors that affect this process such as: government intervention,

wages, diversity, globalization...and much more

EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT 

Veerabathra (Edition 2002): This paper looks at employee training as a means of

improving an organization and making it more cost-effective. It defines the different

types of training, including technical, literal, video, and other types of training used to

fulfill the needs of both employer and employee.

EFFECTIVE TRAINING

Akshara (Edition 2003): An effective training system would integrate several different

processes in order to achieve the objective of a proper training. The first step in any

Page 27: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

sort of training would be identifying the desired level of knowledge in a measurable

form. The next step would be listing out the various qualifications or competencies

necessary for taking part in any training system to produce the desired results. After

this the trainee would have to undertake the necessary research steps by sourcing

materials and other requirements for the training method to function at its best.

TRAINING

Chamy (Edition 2004): This paper reports on a study to verify whether training can

help organizations and uses a questionnaire to collect empirical data. The author

points out that the survey will help identify specific benefits and trends because

organizations, like people, have their own individuality and style, and no blue print

can be considered a universal fit for all organizations. The paper relates that replacing

a skilled and trained employee can be very expensive for an organization in terms of

time and money; therefore, organizations are increasingly using training and higher

education options in their benefits packages to obtain and retain talent in the

organization.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Gulathi (Edition 2005): This paper is about employee training and development. It

uses a five-step process to develop the appropriate training program that includes

training needs assessment; creation of training materials; the training medium

(internal, external); the implementation, and an evaluation plan to determine the

effectiveness of the training.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING

Ashwanthi (Edition 2006): This paper looks at the methods of and motivation for

employee training in the service industries, such as hotels and restaurants. The paper

begins with an exhaustive overview of the term training, including a detailed

recitation of Carter McNamara's six-point rationale for training in "Employee

Training and Development: Reasons and Benefits." The author also provides

background information about the importance of good trainers and training

techniques.

Page 28: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

BOOKS:

Training is more about knowing where we stand at present and to have a

vision of where we are going to be in the future. It is when we have set goals and

don’t know how to proceed; it is when we want something in life to achieve and don’t

know how to reach there and it is what we are dreaming for and how we have to

acquire the knowledge to live up to our dreams.

Thus providing training opportunities is a key to promote an organization,

which will support an individual for his lifelong learning, and to work efficiently in

their respective departments.

DEFINITIONS:

G.SUBRAMANYAM defined training as,

"The trainees shall acquire new manipulative skills, technical knowledge,

problem solving ability or attitude so that they are better adjusted to their work

environment to achieve the organizational and individual goals".

C.B.MEMORIA defined training as,

"Training is a process of learning a sequence of programd behavior. It is

application of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures to

guide their behavior .it attempts to improve their performance on the current job or

prepare them for an intended job."

Page 29: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

4. RESEARCH OF METHODOLOGY

4.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMManagement was under cloud in identifying the impact of the training

program on the performance and productivity as well as in identifying the best

method of training, which enhances the job efficiency, and skills of candidates. The

management was dubious about the satisfaction level of candidates towards the

training program.

Besides enormous efforts and expectations put in by the management in

executing the training and development programs, the objectives of the company

remain seldom met.

4.2 NEED FOR THE STUDY Training is the important factor of any company. So it requires to know the

critical area where they can implement new training method to bring the effectiveness

of training program. This study is required to find whether the training provided by

TVS Training & Development satisfies the training needs of the candidates, whether

the candidates are satisfied with the duration of training program, and the need to find

whether the trainer maintains a good relationship with the trainee.

All the candidates are not specialized in all areas, and thus every individual

employee lacks in some areas. There is a need to find out the personal requirement,

and based on that training should be given.

This study is necessary to identify the best training method, which assists the

candidates to implement their action plans. The fundamental need of this study is to

evaluate the satisfactory level of candidates about their training program.

4.5 RESEARCH DESIGN:

“A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis

of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with

economy in procedure.”

Research design is the conceptual structure within which research is conducted.

It constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. As

such the design includes an outline of what the researcher will do from writing the

hypothesis and its operational implications to the final analysis of data.

4.5.1 DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH:

In descriptive research, the researcher presents a description of the state of

affairs as it exists at present. The researcher can present only what has happened or

what is happening. The variables remain beyond his\her control. The descriptive study

is undertaken in order to ascertain and be able to describe the characteristics of the

variables of interest in a situation.

4.5.2 STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLING:

Stratified random sampling involves a process of stratification or segregation,

followed by random selection of subjects from each stratum. The population is first

divided into mutually exclusive groups that are relevant, appropriate and meaningful

in the context of the study.

The various stratum of this study is

Engineering Department

Production Department

Quality Department

Industrial Engineering

4.5.3 SAMPLE SIZE:

The sample size of this research is 150.

4.5.4 SAMPLING AREA:

The sampling is done in the TVS Training and Services Ltd, Chennai

Page 33: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

4.5.5 DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUESAfter the research problem and design have been defined and planned the

tasks of data collection beings.

TYPES OF DATA:

1. Primary data.

2. Secondary data.

In this study both primary and secondary data collection methods have been

used to collect data. Now let us see about these two data collection methods.

PRIMARY DATA:

The primary data are those, which are collected fresh and for the first time and

thus happen to be original in character.

Primary data collection is nothing but the data that is directly collected from

the people by the researcher himself. The data shows the employee’s attitude,

opinions, their awareness, knowledge and other similar aspects.

In this study, Primary Data collection method has helped the researcher to a

great extent in arriving at the results.

SECONDARY DATA:

Secondary data refers to the information or facts already collected. Such data

are collected with the objective of understanding the past status of any variable, or the

data collected and reported by some source is accessed and used for the objective of

the study.

In this study, the secondary data are collected from books, magazines and

websites.

Page 34: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

4.5.6 DESCRIPTION OF QUESTIONNAIRE This method of data collection is quite popular. In this method a questionnaire

is issued to the person concerned with a request to answers the question and return it

back.

In this research, three different forms of questions are used in the questionnaire.

They are:

1. OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS:

Open ended questions are designed to permit a free response from the various

respondents rather than one limited to certain stated alternatives are considered

appropriate.

2. MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS:

This type of question has the advantage of easy handling, simple to answer,

quick and relatively inexpensive to analyze.

3. DICHOTOMOUS QUESTION:

A dichotomous question refers to one, which offers the respondent a choice

between two alternatives and reduces the issues.

4.5.7 TOOLS FOR DATA ANALYSIS

PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS:

Percentage analysis is the method which is used for finding the average of

collected information. Percentage analysis can be calculated as follows:

First the number of respondents is noted in a tabular form and then the

percentage is calculated by dividing the number of respondents by total number of

respondents which is then multiplied by 100.

No. of respondents Percentage = --------------------------------------- * 100

Total no. of respondents

Page 35: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

CHI SQUARE TEST:

The Chi-Square test is an important non parametric test in statistical work.

The symbol χ2 is used to describe the magnitude of the discrepancy between theory

and observation.

It is defined as,

(O-E) 2 χ2 = Σ --------------- E

Where,

O - Observed frequencies.

E - Expected frequencies.

The above formulae give the calculated value of χ2. The tabulated value is

found out with the help of statistical tables.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD:

In weighted average each value of the variable is multiplied by its weights and the

products so obtained are summed up. This total is divided by the total of weights and

the resulting figure is the weighted arithmetic average.

X1W1 + X2W2 + X3W3 + ……….. + XnWn

Weighted Average = ------------------------------------------------------------- W1 + W2 + W3 + …………. + Wn

Where X1, X2, X3, ……. ,Xn are the values of the variable and

W1, W2, W3, …… , Wn are their respective weights.

Page 36: A Study on Training and Development - Googolsoft

4.6 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

The limitations of the study are as follows:

The data collected cannot be compared with other company.

The study was conducted at smaller scale due to the company’s policy.

The findings are only the result of the survey and so it is not applicable for

future.
