Abstract
Goal achievement in any social actions results in fruitfulness of those
actions. As a means for growth, development and exultation of human
capital, on-the-job training is also a social action. Some factors have
definitely affected realization of the objectives of on-the-job training
courses the identification of which on the one hand and resolution of
the hindrances on the other hand could lead to more effectiveness of
such courses. This study therefore has two purposes: first, identifying
the foregoing factors, and then, presenting a structural model of these
effective factors. To this end, it is assumed that two general groups of
factors, namely personal factors including sex, age, service longevity,
educational background, and social factors including lesson plan,
teaching in practice, teaching assessment and interpersonal
relationships influence effectiveness. The necessary data were
gathered from ١٨٠ teachers in the city of Badrood, province of
Esfahan, who were selected using simple random sampling method.
The confirmatory factor analysis technique was adopted for the
purpose of testing the fit level of the model, and some hypotheses
were formulated for testing the model. Research findings suggest that
none of the foregoing personal factors has influenced course
effectiveness whereas all social factors have had a positive impact on
effectiveness.
