CHAPTER – 1
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.
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, that
it 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 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 that
occurs 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 this research is to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of training and
development process in Srivirad Systems and Services, Chennai.
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
technical knowledge and skills. Training refers to the teaching and learning activities carried
on for the primary purpose of helping members of an organization.
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.
Our project is conducted to know the level of knowledge and skills imparted into
employees.
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.
Primary Objective
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.

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.
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
managed more efficiently than the material resources comprising of machines and
money.
2.2. Definition
- R.C Davis
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 and
assess participant behavior changes.
Results:
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.
Theory X
In this theory, which has been proven counter-effective in most modern practice,
management assumes employees are inherently lazy and will avoid work if they can and
that they inherently dislike work. As a result of this, management believes that workers
need to be closely supervised and comprehensive systems of controls developed. A
hierarchical structure is needed with narrow span of control at each and every level.
According to this theory, employees will show little ambition without an enticing
incentive program and will avoid responsibility whenever they can. According to
Michael J. Papa, if the organizational goals are to be met, theory X managers rely
heavily on threat and coercion to gain their employees' compliance.
Theory Y
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.
For McGregor, Theory X and Y are not different ends of the same continuum.
Rather they are two different continua in themselves.
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.
2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, limits, stability, etc.
3. Belongingness and Love needs - work group, family, affection, relationships, etc.
6. Aesthetic needs - appreciation and search for beauty, balance, form, etc.
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.
« Increased Productivity
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
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
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 gain
knowledge of work assigned to him.
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.
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.
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.
When the employees are trained it enables them to achieve the required level of
performance which in turns increases the productivity.
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.
Such training helps the employees to perform his job much better. This benefits the
enterprise as well.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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:
Step5:
Record and file the entire data so that it can be used for future reference while designing
training programmes/ training calendar.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Introduction
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.
4.1. Topic of Study
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
Primary data
Secondary 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.
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.
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
research, the scholars collect published data analyze it in order to explain the
relationship between variables.
Most of the secondary data are those published by big institutions. So they
contain large quantity of information
Primary data
i. Questionnaire or schedule
ii. Observation
iv. Interview
v. Projective techniques
Secondary data
i. Book
iv. Footnotes
v. Encyclopedias
vii. Websites/blogs
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.
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.
4.4. Research design
4.5. Sampling
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.
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.
For this research researcher has used some of the tolls like probability, graphical
methods, pie charts, bar diagram etc for doing the data analysis.
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
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. Definition of Important Terms
4.8.1. Training
This term is often interpreted as the activity when an expert and learner work
together to effectively transfer information from the expert to the learner (to enhance a
learner's knowledge, attitudes or skills) so the learner can better perform a current task
or job. Here's another perspective.
4.8.2. Development
4.8.3. Information
4.8.4. Knowledge
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
4.8.8. Role
4.8.9. Learning
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.
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.
Being a very lengthy and complex process it is difficult to analyze the details of
training and process.
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 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

CHAPTER 6
Though by and large, substantial number of employees are content with the way the
training is conducted, still there is a scope to analyze at micro level whether the
negatives respondents were either non attentive confronted confused or otherwise. Based
up on the data there is a scope to take corrective action.
Majority of the employees who have attended the training program were well
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
management was keenly interested in achieving the objective for which the
training programs were conducted.
Majority of the employees have expresses satisfactory opinion about the training
faculty and their ability to train but a few numbers of the respondents were
neither satisfied with the way in which the training programs were conducted by
the trainer /faculty.
With regards to the enhancement of skills and knowledge of the employee who
have attended the training program, eighty percent of them have cited there was
an enhancement in their knowledge and skills compared to the other employees
who have not attended the training program. The skill and knowledge learned
through training were helpful to them in exercising on the job.
Only a few members of the respondents have the opinion of significance of
training in developing the personality of the individual. This shows that the
training programs conducted were related only with their job but not concerned
with the personal development of the employees.
6.2. Suggestions
In today‘s competitive world attitude is the factor which is the dividing line
between failure and success. Thus recruitment of the employees must be made
not only on skills and attitude but also the attitude of the employee. If an
employee has a positive attitude then training for him can be more effective, he
has a positive effect on the climate.
The training records must be maintained, preserved properly and updated timely.
New and different trainers should be invited so that the maximum impact can be
got from the training programmes.
Try to use more visual and audio aids to make trainings more interactive and
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.
o Assists the employees to acquire skills, knowledge and attitude and also enhance
the same.
It becomes quite clear that there is no other alternative or short cut to the development of
human resources. Training when used in a planned and purposeful manner can be an
extremely effective management tool as they increase the knowledge and skills of
workers and thereby increasing the productivity and wealth of the organization.
