Paper Abstract:
|
Public sectors employees in all over the world are required to go for some training as part of the organizations procedures towards improving employees knowledge and skills. Currently, they attend training in a traditional mode or face to face training. Many challenges in attending traditional training have been reported by the public sectors employees in other countries. These include employees reside far away from training centre, and employees, especially women have family duties and have difficulties to leave home for training. These challenges need to be resolved as employees are expected to continually improving skills and knowledge from time to time. In solving problems of employees and organizations with the traditional training, organizations must apply an alternative method to train and retrain their employees. In Jordan, there is insufficient evidence regarding challenges with traditional training in the case of public sector organization. Thus, this study intended to understand more on the problems of attending traditional training and the challenges to meet in preparing for an alternative method such as through computer based distance training system. |
