Background: The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between the administration of leadership training programs and trainees’ motivation to learn. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to collect data from junior army leaders in Peninsular Malaysia. Methods: A cross sectional method was employed in this study because it allowed the researchers to integrate the LTP literature, the pilot study and the actual survey as the main procedures to collect data. Beside a purposive sampling technique was used to distribute 300 self-report questionnaires to junior army leaders at the organization and the survey questionnaire data were analyzed using SmartPLS. Results: The results show that the ability of senior administrators to appropriately use a well-designed course content and select the right instructors to teach and facilitate trainees had enhanced trainees’ motivation to learn in the organizational sample. Conclusions: This study tested a conceptual schema developed based on the LTP research literature. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the instrument used in this study satisfactorily met the standard of validity and reliability analyses. Furthermore, the outcomes of the SmartPLS path model proved that course content and instructors’ roles were important predictors of trainees’ motivation to learn in the organizations.

Wstęp: Celem pracy było zbadanie związku między administracją programów szkoleniowych zarządzania a motywacją uczestników do nauki. W tym celu zostały skierowane ankiety do młodych przywódców armii w Malezji. Metody: Zastosowano metodę krzyżową, jako główną metodą zbierania danych, aby lepiej połączyć istniejące publikacje naukowe, badanie pilotażowe oraz aktualne badania. Zastosowano badanie ankietowe na próbie losowej 300 młodych przywódców armii. Uzyskane wyniki poddano analizie przy zastosowaniu SmartPLS. Wyniki: Wyniki wskazują na zdolność doświadczonych administratorów na prawidłowe stosowanie dobrze przygotowanych materiałów szkoleniowych oraz na dobór właściwych instruktorów do prowadzenia szkoleń oraz zwiększenia motywacji uczestników do nauki w badanej organizacji. Wnioski: Testowano koncepcyjny schemat opracowany na podstawie przeglądu literatury naukowej. Wyniki przeprowadzonej analizy wykazują, że instrument użyty w pracy w sposób satysfakcjonujący spełnił standardy analizy trafności oraz niezawodności. Wyniki modelu ścieżki SmartPLS zaakceptowały treści szkoleniowej oraz rolę instruktorów, jako ważnych czynników wpływających na poziom motywacji uczestników do nauki w badanej organizacji.

In 2008, the Polish Medical Air Rescue started replacing its fleet with modern EC135 machines. To ensure the maximum possible safety of the missions performed both in the period of implementing the change and later on, the management prepared a strategy of training its crews to use the new type of helicopter. The analysis of incidents that occurred during 2006–2009 showed that both the human and the technical factors must be carefully considered. Moreover, a risk analysis was conducted to reduce the risk both during general crew training and in the course of particular flight operations. A four-stage strategy of training pilots and crew members was worked out by weighing up all the risks. The analysis of data from 2010 to 2013 confirmed that the risk connected with flying and with all the activities involved in direct support aircraft operations is under control and lowered to an acceptable level.

Several industrial accidents, some of them fatal, have been reported in Uganda. Causes could include training gaps in vocational training institutions (VTIs) and workplaces. This study investigated how occupational safety training in VTIs and workplaces is implemented. The study was carried out in five selected VTIs and workplaces in Kampala. Data were collected from instructors, workshop technicians, students, workshop managers, production supervisors, machine operators and new technicians in the workplaces. A total of 35 respondents participated in the study. The results revealed that all curricula in VTIs include a component of safety but little is practiced in VTI workshops; in workplaces no specific training content was followed and there were no regular consultations between VTIs and industry on safety skills requirements, resulting in a mismatch in safety skills training. The major constraints to safety training include inadequate funds to purchase safety equipment and inadequate literature on safety.

Various types of hazards are present in all aspects of the economy. Training is an essential ingredient in the reduction and elimination of these hazards. The development of qualified safety professionals is necessary for solving the main problems facing and organizing a safe work environment. This paper presents the development of an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Safety Technology. The paper includes the rational for the development of the proposed program, a literature review on the need for safety education, the main features of the developed program, a program need analysis, program educational objectives, program outcomes, a degree plan and course description. The developed program should provide a guide to training institutes worldwide for the development of a safety program at any educational level, including an associate, bachelor or graduate education in safety. The level of presentation of such a program would depend on the availability of qualified staff and resources.

Background and objectives. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are the main causes of pain, suffering, absenteeism, disability and reduction in productivity. This research aims to determine the role of training intervention based on protection motivation theory in reducing WMSDs and promoting productivity. Methodology. The conducted study was based on a quasi-experimental design (control) that was carried out on 158 employees of the Kabl Khodro factory which were divided into two groups of 79 people. After splitting the 158 workers, an experimental and control group was formed. The data collection instruments were made up of two questionnaires and were analysed using a quick exposure check (QEC) method. Result.Before intervention in both the experimental and control groups, there were no significant differences among the average protection motivation theory constructs, productivity and QEC scores (p < 0.05). However, following training intervention there was a significant increase in these factors within the investigated group apart from the perceived response costs and efficacy. Conclusion. The conducted study shows that ergonomic training based on the protection motivation theory is effective in reducing musculoskeletal risk factors and that increased knowledge of the subject can lead to an increase in productivity.
