THE ROLE OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT IN DECISION-MAKING - BASED ON THE 2021/2022 CRANET SURVEY

Abstract

The training and development of human resources in companies and organisations is one of the key functions of HR: the conscious planning and organisation of this area is an important indicator of the functioning of an organisation (Karoliny et al., 2020).

The results of the related surveys not only provide a basis for comparison based on objective measurements, but also allow further lessons to be drawn, primarily with reference to Hungarian conditions.  This is the purpose of the CRANET survey, which aims to gather information on EEM practices and their changes in different countries.

Within the questionnaire, the aspect of training and development appears in several sections. Within staff development, we have sought to demonstrate a statistically verifiable link between the sub-sections of the methods used for development and career management and the decision-makers responsible for training development: at the heart of our study was the assumption that it matters who is responsible for the main decisions: the less the manager makes decisions on training development issues, the more the organisation decides to use development and career management methods.
