M.Com. (Industrial Psychology) / The need for efficient managers is ever increasing. If any company wants to make use of its managers' full potential it is important that it should have an effective management development programme. Although many companies do have such programmes, their effectiveness is not always clear. Management development, as applied by the South African Transport Services is presented, followed by a survey of the literature on the evaluation of management development. On the basis of the foregoing. a questionnaire was designed to measure management's perception regarding management development within South African Transport Services. The questionnaire was administered to 444 managers within the organization and the findings suggested that more attention should be given to the selling of management development to all managerial levels and the refinement of current development techniques. Furthermore research should also be directed at the learning-, work behaviour- and output levels of evaluation. as well as at better methods of self-development.
