This review is aimed towards showing the pros and cons of ethics training by businesses as discussed in current or recent surveys, studies, and articles. Introduction Business ethics has been a controversial topic for many years. It is said to be a double-edged sword and is seen as both an evil and as a proactive approach to preventing lies and motive good behavior (Bayley, 2012).

...Assignment 1: Training and Development in Small Business Professor Thomas Swinney Training and Development November 14, 2014 Development in in Small Business Daycare centers are used most often by working parents, single mom’s and dad’s and sometimes stay at home parents who want some time to themselves a couple days a week. It’s a great alternative if you don’t have relatives that are available to watch your children that are not old enough to go to elementary school. Daycare centers should provide the emotional and social needs for babies that are crucial during the first two years of life in developing the learning structures of the brain. They provide a loving environment that will give your child a chance to grow and learn with other children their age and generally centers take kids as young as 6 weeks old to 6th grade. A center that has an after school program is another great way to supply additional income to the center by offering after school activities to keep kids busy until they are picked up by their parent after they are done working. Daycare centers that are not part of a big chain lack standard training for their personal. The person’s that are in the room’s with the younger kids are normally mothers, grandmothers or young adults that love kids but aren’t necessarily trained to watch them and nurture them during their development stages. Training should be a very big part of hiring teachers in daycare centers and it should be on-going where...

...Human Resource Development (HRD) “refers to the integrated use of training and development, organizational development, and career development to improve individual, group, and organizational effectiveness” (Noe, 2010, pg. 41). Trainers are responsible for the training and development of employees and managers in a corporate organization. Training is an important part of any organizations human resources department and is essential to the growth and development an organization (Kraiger, McLinden, & Casper, 2004, pg. 339).

...in Business and Economics THE INFLUENCE OF SUPERVISORY AND PEER SUPPORT ON THE TRANSFER OF TRAINING NG KUEH Hua University Malaysia Sarawak, Malaysia Abstract: The burgeoning literature investigating the effect of supervisory support on the transfer of training is characterized by inconsistent findings. Also, to date, research examining peer support is still lacking, despite earlier studies show support emanating from co-workers has a significant influence on the transfer of training. Hence, this study attempts to rectify the inadequacies in the literature by examining the effects of supervisory and peer support on the transfer of training. Based on a cross-sectional method, quantitative data was collected from 100 employees working in one of the Malaysian state health departments, with a response rate of 48 percent. The results of multiple regression analysis revealed that supervisory support was not significantly associated with transfer of training, whereas peer support exerted a significant and positive influence on transfer of training. This study responded to the pressing calls for more studies to elucidate the relationship between social support and the transfer of training. The findings contributed to the body of literature by clarifying the nature of relationships between supervisory support, peer support and transfer of training, particularly from the Malaysian workplace perspective. Key words: Supervisory support, peer support, transfer of training 1...

A manager’s job description will vary according to organization, culture and political boundaries, however, managers must posses the qualities of human, conceptual and technical skills in respect of the job description for effective management in changing times. Recommendations to address the development of manager’s human, conceptual and technical skills can be considered as follows. Management training may take place on the job “informally” or off the job “formally”, however, most management training takes place off the job states Stephen P. Robbins’s Essential of Organizational Behavior eighth edition. Informal training on the job tends to disrupt productivity and services so off the job training is advised. Off the job training is considered formal as they are structured and planned to facilitate the job description. As for the manager’s training in particular, formal settings, such as classroom lectures at the tertiary level or the organization’s own training institution providing coaching by outsourced professionals or the company’s own executives, seminars, workshops and meetings of...
