Major Thesis
The article by Salas, Tannenbaum, Kraiger, & Smith-Jentsch, 2012, deals with training and development within the context of organizations. The introduction begins with information on spending habits of organizations within the United States in relation to training. They also highlight the importance of such training as it allows for better risk management and reduction in errors. After all, the goals of an organization are to promote competition by giving employees a chance at self-improvement and augmented management skills. Continual education promotes independence and proper run-through in any organization setting from emergency rooms, aviation, to even the military.

Two of the things the article identifies in its research is that training works and its design, delivery, and implementation also matter. The purpose of the article is then to explain the purpose of training and how it can be used accordingly through literature review. They also state training should be seen and applied as a systematic process highlighting the importance of understanding the before, during, and after phases of the training process. "...training can be thought of as the planned and systematic activities designed to promote the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Effective training takes place when trainees are intentionally provided with pedagogically sound opportunities to learn targeted knowledge…" (Salas, Tannenbaum, Kraiger,…
