Training and Development Practices in Taiwan: A Comparison of Taiwanese, American and Japanese Firms

Abstract

In an era of high technology and global competition, human resources are vital in order for an organization to excel. Training and development (T& D) plays a key role in building an effective workforce. This study investigated twenty-eight T & D activities in Taiwanese, American, and Japanese compan ies in Taiwan. Data analyses of a mail survey from 190 companies show that American firms offer more training opportunities abroad, job rotation, and overseas long-term advanced study than the other two groups; operational T & D activities account for less than 50 percent of T & D success. Activities that significantly contribute to T & D success are identified for Taiwanese, American, and Japanese firms respectively, and the top five factors of perceived T & D success and failure are listed.
