Variations in the perception of the elements that constitute training based on company size, employee seniority, and company age

Abstract

The implementation of training programs in industrial enterprises is determined by the elements that constitute training and variations in the perception of and value placed on those elements. This study aims to present an analysis of the variations in the perception of the elements that constitute training based on company size, management position seniority, and company age. For the analysis, we used one-way ANOVA to quantify the differences and post-hoc Bonferroni tests to assign values to the differences. The results show that there is a mean difference between training and the three variables mentioned above. The main differences indicate that medium-sized enterprises have a higher training index than small enterprises and that managers whose seniority is low value budget as a determining variable in the decision of whether to implement training programs. In relation to company age, it is concluded that compared with younger companies, older organizations direct their training programs towards achieving their mission, vision, values, and goals.
