Training is the activity to enhance an employee’s current skills for his or her present job. As technology changes, training is necessary to keep pace with these changes. Training and development is defined as a process of developing work-related knowledge and skills in employees for the purpose of improving performance systematically.
The main aim of this study is to study the barriers to introducing training programs to the minor staff of Ayurveda centers in local government. Employees working in Ayurveda centers belonging to Colombo, Kalutara and Gampaha areas in Western Province were selected as the sample. According to Gary Anderson chart 79 minor staff members were selected randomly and data were collected by administering a 52-question questionnaire. SPSS 16 statistical analyzing software and Pearson’s Correlation test was used to analyze the data.
There are six main barriers were identified to introducing training program to the minor staff. Among the six barriers, Economic and political context (54.4%) was identified as the main barrier, and Innovation (3.8%) as the least barrier. The other three fractions (Individual knowledge - 10.1%, Patient characteristics - 2.5% Social context - 16.5%, Organizational context - 12.7 %,) were normally affected. Also revealed that there was strong positive relationship between Innovation (p=0.765; whereas p<0.01), a moderately positive relationship between Individual knowledge (p=0.542; whereas p<0.01), a weakly positive relationship between Patient characteristics (p=0.340; whereas p<0.01), a weakly positive relationship between Indigenous social context (p=0.353; whereas p<0.01), no relationship between Organizational context (p=0.161; whereas p<0.05), no relationship between Economic & political context (p=0.002; whereas p<0.05).
