Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
Training is essential for any organisation to prevent any faults or rework that may cost the company. Training effectiveness can be motivated by internal and external factors. Thus, the study has two-fold objectives: 1) to determine the relationship between peer support, supervisory support, and self-efficacy towards training effectiveness; and 2) to examine the main factor that influences training effectiveness among the employees of Sigma Sdn Bhd. To achieve the objectives, the researchers adopted a quantitative method with the sample of 285 employees of Sigma Sdn Bhd. The sampling technique used was proportionate stratified random sampling. The researchers ran correlation and multiple regression analyses in order to achieve the research objectives. The research findings show that supervisory support, peer support, and self-efficacy have a significant relationship with the dependent variable. Besides, supervisory support is the most influential factor affecting training effectiveness. The research is beneficial to the company, Sigma Sdn Bhd, and other manufacturing companies. The results will help the company to improve their performance and decision-making on the company’s training programme. They can encourage employees to attend training programmes organised by the human resource department of the company. The company will optimise the utilisation of all resources for its training programmes in the future.
