• To be effective, T&D programs need to take into
account that employees are adult learners.
• Theory of adult learning or Andragogy is based
on five ideas;

something,
– Adults need to be self-directed,
– Adults bring more work related experiences into the
learning situation,
– Adults enter into a learning experience with problem
centered approach to learning, and
– Adults are motivated to learn by both extrinsic and
intrinsic motivators.

• At different stages of careers, employees need
different kinds of training and development
experience.
• There may be four possible learning outcomes;
– Functional competence, an understanding of finance,
accounting, marketing, strategy, IT, economics,
operations, and HRM;
– Understanding context and strategy and how
organizational processes interrelate, to make sense of
societal changes, politics, social values, global issues, and
technological change;
