One More Reason Not to Cut Your Training Budget: The Relationship between Training and Organizational Outcomes

Abstract

Training is a vital function for all organizations. However, determining the contribution of training is oftentimes an elusive task. This paper examines training's impact on organizational variables that have been shown to positively impact an organization's employees. Specifically, this paper investigates the relationship between training, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, organizational justice and turnover cognitions. Results from a sample of 218 employees from state local subdivision indicate positive relationships between training and organizational outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover cognitions. Further, organizational justice variables were shown to mediate those relationships.
