Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

"This Handbook is sure to become a key resource for any researcher or professional looking for the latest and most innovative thinking from around the world on the full range of topics related to training, development, and performance management."
Bradford S. Bell, PhD, Cornell University, USA. Editor, Personnel Psychology

"I wish I could have accessed this book many years ago. Comprehensive and scholarly, the four sections – training, e-learning, personal and professional development and performance management – fit well together and address a gap in the literature that has been apparent for some time. The psychological perspective speaks to growing interest in the micro-foundations of strategic success, and the blending together of both formal and informal perspectives on learning in organizations ensures a holistic rather than piecemeal approach to the question of how to build individual knowledge, skills, and competences in organizations. I believe that this book will make a significant impact on its target audience in this critical area."
Helen Shipton, Professor of International Human Resource Management, Nottingham Trent University, UK

Unique to reference works in this area, it maintains a truly global focus on the field with top international contributors looking at research and practice from around the world, including South America, Europe, Canada, and Australia, as well as the United States and the United Kingdom. The chapters cover a diverse range of important contemporary topics, such as needs analysis, job design, active learning, self-regulation, simulation approaches, 360-degree feedback, and virtual learning environments.
