 Campion, Medsker, Higgs, (1993): Training refers to the
level of emphasis firms place on instructional
interventions to enhance innovation, technology
transfer, or project team processes.
 Burke, Steel, Pierce & Kendall, (2006); Salas et al(2007):
Individuals contribute more to their team when
prepared to be flexible and adaptive within the
ambiguous context of technological change.
 Bell, (1987); Desai, (1984); Lall, (1982): Training basically
promotes three types of capabilities: investment,
operational and dynamic learning capabilities that are
considered to be critical in the transfer of learning
process.
 Descriptive method utilized
 Sample size of 129 selected from 13
regions
 Likert scale used to interpret the data
 Training programs were effective in
attaining improved knowledge,
attitudes, skills and practices.
 Main focus was on lecture and practical
activities.
 The response of participants was rated
“Very Good”.
 The paper attempted to describe and analyze the
selected training programs implemented to effect
change in personnel in selected fisheries
organizations in the Philippines.
 Addressing an effective capability building
program to organizations will be a competitive
advantage in facing challenges of globalization
and sustainable human development.
 Prejudice and discrimination towards
people suffering from mental illness is
common. However, such attitudes can be
modified.
 In order to be efficient, interventions should
focus on specific targets.
 The intervention was provided in curriculum
of the French National School of Public
Health
 The intervention was a four day
workshop.
 It was designed to improve attendees’
knowledge about the multiple causes of
mental illness.
 Psychiatric services users were also free
to organize their talk.
 Sample consisted of 121 Public Health
Services administrators.
 Sample consisted of 58 people who
participated to the study before and after
the training.
 The Attitudes to Mental Illness scale was
designed.
 The questionnaire consisted of 26 items
derived from the Community Attitudes
Toward the Mentally Ill scale.
 Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS
Statistics 20.
 Mean scores to each item were used to
perform data analysis.
 Significant reduction of stigma identified before
and after the training among 58 respondents. One
third of the items used showed a very significant
reduction of stigma.
 After the training, the respondents were also less
likely to agree with negative statements.
 No significant differences were found relating to
the reduction of stigma as a function of attendees’
gender and type of trainees.
 The main interest of this study is to explore the
potential efficiency of initiatives in reducing the
stigma about mentally ill people among the
attendees.
 This research study suggests that targeted
interventions, would not only provide knowledge
about mental illness to attendants but also an
opportunity for direct contact with mentally ill
people.
