Introduction: Development training and continuation of education are critical in the healthcare industry. This type of practice allows health care providers an opportunity to receive ongoing training, and that can opens up avenues of resources for professional development. In this paper, I will explain the reasons why training and education is necessary and relentless in healthcare. I also, will provide valuable insights regarding the importance of measuring and the accountability of competency levels in organizations. Finally, I will describe different processes organizations may use for tracking and
subsequent experience. Like a ripple effect. By knowing this information we can and will be

The concept of interest is self-efficacy. This began in 1977 with Bandura’s social learning theory that was renamed social cognitive theory in 1986, of which self-efficacy was one of the major concepts of his theory. Self-efficacy makes a difference in how people will feel, think, behave, and motivate themselves. A low sense of self-efficacy can be associated with stress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of helplessness. Such individuals also have low self-esteem and become pessimistic about their accomplishments and personal development. In thinking terms, a strong sense of efficacy facilitates cognitive processes and performance in a variety of settings, including the quality of decision-making and academic achievement. When it comes to behavior, self-efficacy can be said to influence people’s choice of activities as self-efficacy levels can foster or decrease a person’s motivation. People with high self-efficacy approach difficult tasks as challenges and do not try to avoid them. People’s self-efficacy beliefs determine their level of motivation, as reflected in how much effort they will
I researched appropriate training content and materials that I might enjoy giving my skills demonstration on, I found I was evaluating my own effectiveness as a trainer as I scanned through different subject and sites, pursuing a subject that learners might find interesting and some content where I could apply my new communication skills.
Companies who invested in training and development programs in the long run with show that their employees great assets to their company. “Employees may gain access to training they wouldn 't have otherwise known about or sought out themselves. Employees who feel appreciated and challenged through training opportunities may feel more satisfaction toward their jobs (Frost, 2016).”
Within the book Mastering the World of Psychology chapter five covers a basis surrounding the process of learning and how it relatively has permanent changes on behavior, knowledge, capability, or attitude (“Book”). These affects are acquired through everyday experiences such as actions that take place, enhancing our understanding of everything encompassed around us. As we continue to observe and apply associative learning we continue enhance our understanding of the world we live.
Training and development are an essential part of any human resource (HR) department. One manner this can be done is through a training needs assessment, which provides the goal of helping to improve employee job performance. A training needs assessment is broken into three specific areas: organization analysis, task analysis, and personal analysis. The first area deals with what type of environment, strategies, and resources are needed to help determine where to emphasize training. The second deals with what kind of activities are needed to be performed in order to determine the KSOAs needed. While the third area is used to understand what the specific performance, knowledge, and skills base are needed to help ensure the right individuals receive training (Snell & Morris, 2016, pp. 264). This third area is important, because not every employee needs to be trained on the same thing which can save resources for the
One of such concept earlier theorized is the concept of behaviorism. The concept of behaviorism tries to explain the rationale behind human behavior. Its main goal is the prediction and control of behavior. It submits that a person’s behavior is dependent on the interactions and/or stimulus from the environment regardless of the person’s thoughts or feelings, genetic background or personality traits. Hence, through a conditioning system delivered through interactions within the environment, a behavior can be learned or
Self-efficacy can be described as the level self-confidence that a person has when they try to do something. It is important in making a behavioral change because people need to envision themselves succeeding.
· Training - Employees want to increase their skills, knowledge, and abilities to remain marketable. It gives them a sense of job security. In today's workplace, the more training employees get, the more likely the employer will retain them. "According to a 1999 Emerging Workforce Study conducted by Interim Services and Louis Harris and Associates: Among employees who say their company offers poor training, 41 percent plan to leave within a year, versus only 12 percent of those who rate training opportunities as excellent. (Business Week, March 1, 1999)"
The purpose of health education is to positively persuade the health behavior of individuals and committees as well as living and working conditions that influence their health. Health education is the development of individual group, community, and systemic strategies to improve health knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behavior. Health education is a social science that draws from the biological, environmental, physical, and mental sciences to promote health and prevent disease disability and premature death through education driven voluntary behavior change activities.
Efficacy is the behavior or being effective, efficacious and in control. The self can be defined as ones identity. This means that self-efficacy can be defined as the ability to effectively control their own outcomes by changing their actions. It is the self-regulation of behavior by intelligent, affective and motivational processes. Self-efficacy is made up by self-concept, control, and cognitive processes. Ones self-concept is their thoughts and feelings about who and what they are; it is influenced by social interactions and experiences. It has to do with an innate set of morals, values and attitudes that is developed through ones interaction with their environment. Self-regulation allows one to behave in a way to maintain a positive self-concept in a dynamic and interactive world. Self-image, self-esteem and self-concept all interact to influence a persons

It gives detailed explanation and clear idea on previous works by researchers in organizational politics to help in understanding the background information on which this research is based on. The chapter describes the concepts of training and development and the effects on employee performance and the gap in literature.
