Experience and previous research indicate that the effective transfer
of management training to the work environment requires a holistic
approach, embracing several important factors. These include
interpersonal skills, resistance to change, mentoring, attitudes
towards training, and organizational climate and culture.
During this investigation a brief, flexible treatment programme was
drawn up. This involved discussing the application of managerial
skills with trainees who had completed a management training course
some time ago, in the presence of their supervisors. Other activities
included in the treatment ranged from retraining to psychotherapy.
The treatment was applied to 32 trainees. Some three month's later
a role play situation and questionnaire were used to assess their
application of the skills taught during management training in their
work, in comparison with an untreated control group. The results
indicate that the treatment programme resulted in much improved
transfer of managerial training to the work environment. / Psychology / M. Sc. (Psychology)
