What matters for the effectiveness of a training organization? Evidence from BPATC

Abstract

Organizational effectiveness is the concept of how successful is an organization to achieve its goals in what the organization intends to serve or produce for its customers. Organizational effectiveness is more important for non-profit organizations or service providing organizations that primarily depends on their performance. The objectives of this study are to identify factors and their influence on organizational effectiveness. A structured questionnaire survey was conducted to get information and valid data. The study has nine independent variables and each variable was measured at least by three items. The consistency of the items has measured the reliability of the variables through Cronbach Alpha and found most of the variable items were very consistent. This study has also developed nine hypotheses. A multiple regression equation was performed for testing relations. Among the nine independent variables along with ‘organizational effectiveness’ as the dependent variable, it is found that three hypotheses were accepted according to standardized beta values with a considerable level of significance. Accepted hypotheses are related to ‘motivation’, ‘integrity’, and ‘empowerment’. The ANOVA results highlights a significant relationship and explains as 79.50% (p<.05) of the total variance. Thus, the results of this analysis indicate that variables can explain about 80% of the organizational effectiveness. However, the small size of the population and quantitative results are some limitations of this study. Besides, this study was limited within faculty, who were engaged in training activities and very limited staff who were engaged with training programs.
