- Differences in the Developmental Needs of Managers at Multiple Levels
What has not been clear from the literature regarding training needs of managers at different organizational levels is specifically what different types of learning, knowledge, and training they need at each level, or how these skills are best learned. This study, presented at the Society for Industrial/ Organizational Psychology (SIOP) annual meeting in Chicago in April, 2004, addresses two primary questions asked by many organizations as they develop internal training programs for their managers:
- What do employees want to learn, and
- How do they want to learn?
These questions are examined to look at differences in the needs of managers at various organization levels and across generations.
