This thesis provides an assessment of the training program
from the perspective of civilian scientists and engineers
working at the Naval Avionics Center (NAC) . this assessment
can be used in conjunction with other studies to provide NAC
management with a basis on which to evaluate its return on
investment from training. The author used a questionnaire to
survey scientists and engineers in order to reveal training
related trends across departments, job categories, paygrade
levels, gender, ethnic origin, age, experience at NAC, and
marital status. The author concluded that there is a good
organizational climate for and support of the training program
at NAC, that most of the job needs of scientists and engineers
are being met by NAC's training program, and that there are
some administrative changes needed to improve the training program. In addition, the kinds of NAC training that are most
useful to scientists and engineers are identified. The author
presented several recommendations to improve the training
program at NAC.
