Sense Of Workforce

  Here we aim to examine how organizations conduct various learning and development activities. And the methods and factors in which them activities be based upon.  According to Armstrong, and Taylor, (2020) When considering the learning needs analysis, most organizations come up with general need gap based on general assumptions as what certain jobs require as skills. However, they have argued that since the assumptions could be wrong, the organizations must come up with carefully conducted gap analysis where 3 levels such as corporate, collective, and individual level is being concerned. Figure 1.0 depicts how these three levels are interconnected upon their functionality within an organization. Further they argue as once the individual needs are assessed and understood, the emergence of common needs which may provide an outline about group needs, which subsequently give an idea of about corporate needs to learning and development. Process of learning need analysis is also c...

  Effective managers possess a multidimensional set of skills that enable them to build teams and enhance individual and organizational performance (Gilley  et al  2010).  Recognizing Skills Gaps  Katz (1974) placed the skills required by effective managers into three categories: technical, human, and conceptual.  Sandwith (1993) identified five competency domains for management training:  Conceptual/ Creative,  Leadership,  Interpersonal,  Administrative,  Technical.   Technical skills are detail-oriented skills that are required of entry-level managers.

Conceptual skills are the planning and visioning skills needed by managers. Decision-making and forecasting are examples of conceptual skills (Katz 1974). Which makes a connection...

Almost everyone that we deal in human resource development are adults and it is very important to understand how adults learn. STYLES OF ADULT LEARNING Here we aim to look at why people want to learn, what they want to learn, and how they want to learn. The provider of training and development for adults is faced with a range of elements to consider in building learning opportunities. It might be helpful and encouraging to end with some cautionary notes (Moore, A., 2022).  Behaviourist theories of learning  The basic idea of this school of thought is learning that happens as a result to a stimulus. How we react to outside situations and depending on how good or the bad the reaction would make us feel, we learn to react the same or similarly to similar situations or stimuluses. (Pavlov. J.P.,1927) According to Wilson. J.P (2004), Behaviourists focus on modifying good or positive behaviour by reinforcements, while negative or unwanted behaviour is treated with negative reinforce...
