Current status of team building through newcomer employee education by on the job training: Influence of utilizing “OJT SHEET” on newcomer employee education

Abstract

[Purpose] We examined the aggregate of guidance opportunities in newcomer employee education conducted by a trans-disciplinary team from a team building perspective. [Subjects and Methods] For 13 newcomer employee staff and 97 leaders, we collected data on the amount of guidance given in the first three months. [Results] The amount of guidance varied widely at the stage of independence of work. In the guidance of newcomer employees who were quick to step up, there was a tendency for leaders of various years of experience to be involved in a balanced manner. On the other hand, newcomer employees who held back tended to receive guidance from a limited number of leaders, and the reliability and fulfillment of human relationships within the team tended to be low. [Conclusion] It is considered that team building was effectively constructed in the teams in which step up occurred. The results suggest that incorporating team education into job training for newcomer employee staff could develop team building.
