The effect of a training programme on the attitude of managers towards performance management

Text in English, summary in English and Afrikaans / The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of a performance management
training programme on the attitudes of managers towards performance management. The
research question was whether a performance management training intervention would
change managers' attitude towards performance management. The respondent group
consisted of 101 managers who responded to an advertisement and willingly participated in a
performance management training programme. A quasi-experimental research design was
used in which a pre-test and post-test was applied to the respondent group. The managers in
the respondent group completed the same assessment instrument (or questionnaire) before
and six months after the performance management training. The results of the empirical
analysis indicated that female managers felt less positive about performance management
than their male counterparts. No statistically significant change in the attitude and
competency of managers towards performance management was found after they had attended the performance management training programme. / Die doel van die studie was om die impak van 'n prestasiebestuuropleidingsprogram op die
houdings van bestuurders ten opsigte van prestasiebestuur te ondersoek. Die
navorsingsvraag was of 'n opleidingsintervensie in prestasiebestuur, bestuurders se houdings
ten opsigte van prestasiebestuur sou verander. Die respondentegroep het uit 101
bestuurders bestaan wat op 'n advertensie gereageer het en vrywillig deelgeneem het aan 'n
prestasiebestuuropleidingsprogram. 'n Kwasie-eksperimentele navorsingsontwerp is gebruik
waartydens 'n voor- en na-toets op die respondente toegepas is. Die bestuurders in die
respondentegroep het dieselfde evalueringsinstrument voor en ses maande na die prestasiebestuuropleiding
ingevul. Die resultate van die empiriese ontleding het getoon dat vroulike
bestuurders minder positief oor prestasiebestuur gevoel het as hul manlike kollegas. Geen
betekenisvolle statistiese verandering in die houdings en vaardighede van bestuurders ten
opsigte van prestasiebestuur is gevind nadat hulle die prestasiebestuurprogram bygewoon het nie. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial Psychology)
