Abstract
The main objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of evaluations for management training programs. This includes : the evaluation methods used, the use of evaluation results and the perceived barriers to effective evaluations. In addition, this study also attempted to determine if significant relationships existed between 'perceived barriers' and 'methods used'; and between 'perceived barriers' and 'use of evaluation results'. A total of seventy two respondents completed and returned the survey form. From the respondent data, four main 'methods' of evaluation and three main 'use of results' were identifi"ed. The result of the study also indicated that there existed significant relationships between certain 'perceived barriers to effective evaluation' and 'methods used'; and between certain 'perceived barriers to effective evaluation' and 'use of results'.
