The role of training in the human resource department of the south African parliament

Magister Administrationis - MAdmin / Training in the South African public service is a highly needed factor, especially
in the process of transformation. In the "rationalisation" of the public service,
training cannot be conducted in isolation. At the same time training should be
seen as a process not an event. Empowering employees with skills and
knowledge is vital because this could ensure that the goals of the organisation are
attained. As Andrews (1988) argues, training is a systematic process of altering
behaviour, knowledge and motivation of employees in order to increase
organisational goal achievement.
The study focuses on the South African Parliament's Human Resource
Department. Training in this department needs to be examined or evaluated for
four main reasons. These are: The non-existence of a training policy, lack of
funds, non-existence of trainers and poor evaluation
