The Training's A-Comin' In: An Analysis of Training Decision Using Microdata

Abstract

In this paper we utilise a specially­designed survey, the Business Strategy and Skills (BSS) module of the Business Operations Survey 2008 (BOS 2008) to investigate the determinants and intensity of training in three aspects: training of new staff; training of existing staff changing roles and the training of existing staff for their existing roles. We examine both the probability and intensity of each type of training as a function of the external and internal skill gaps as well as a suite of other variables including the firms’ size, previous performance, its ownership, its competitive environment and the occupational breakdown of its staff.
