An Exploratory Study of Factors Eliciting VA Employee No-Show Behavior In Veterans Affairs Employee Development Courses

<p>Recognizing the need for companies and organizations to retain employees, one of the topics given very little attention in the research is non-attendance in face-to-face training. This study presents findings from the analysis of archival data from a 2013 employee education survey. Exploratory factor analyses were conducted on two sets of data exploring barriers to participation in employee-development education classes. Extrinsic factors were identified as &lsquo;more important things take priority&rsquo; and &lsquo;circumstances beyond the employee&rsquo;s control&rsquo;. Intrinsic factors were identified as &lsquo;personal motivation challenges&rsquo;. These factors emerged as potential reasons for non-participation or no-show behavior in employee education courses. Possible explanations for the results are discussed and recommendations for future research are presented. </p>
