The Relationship of On-the-Job, Off-the-Job, and Refresher Training to Human Resource Outcomes and Variables.

Kovach, Kenneth A.; Cohen, Debra J.

Human Resource Development Quarterly, v3 n2 p157-74 Sum 1992

A study of 678 unskilled and semiskilled workers found that (1) those receiving on-the-job training were paid less and had less seniority; (2) those with off-the-job training (OFJT) or refresher courses had more seniority and more promotions; (3) OFJT related to lower projected longevity; and (4) educational level was related to pay.
