Abstract

This paper considers training effectiveness measures and how effectively they can be employed in the health care sector. Currently there are very few resources to measure training effectiveness. As such, this paper develops and conducts the initial validation of a general training effectiveness scale. Following a literature review, a comprehensive item generation process involving consultation with experts, a pilot study and a factor analytic study on a large sample yielded a three-factor structure. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted and goodness-of-fit indices indicated acceptable model fit. Implications for use as a training effectiveness measure in healthcare environment are discussed.
