Abstract

Abstract Reliance on self‐assessed training needs for input into decisions regarding training participation and design is increasingly common. Previous study results indicate that perceptions of training utility influence these self‐assessments. In a sample of 380 managers and supervisors, this study found that training self‐efficacy and managerial support positively influenced perceptions of training utility, while educational level was negatively associated with these perceptions. In addition, training utility perceptions and span of control both directly and positively influenced reported need for training in management skills. Implications for both research and practice are discussed.
