Developing Individual Training Impact Scale for Workplace Training: Testing the Malaysian Sample to Determine the Impact of Training on Individual Effectiveness

摘要

The purpose of this article is to report the development of Individual Training Impact Scale (ITIS); the instrument was developed because there are limited instruments that can measure the impact of training on individual effectiveness. Hence, ITIS was constructed based on four studiesto generate items, administer questionnaire, reduce initial items, and testing it through a pilot study. The first version of ITIS comprises of 55 items; however, only 30 items left in the final version. The pilot study among the Malaysian Civil Servants demonstrated that employee traininghad significant impact on individual effectiveness. Hence, ITIS can be used to determine the impact of training on individual effectiveness for better organization and business administration.
