| Summary: | The objective of the study is to test the relationship between management development programs
and the readiness for changes among young managers in Malaysia. Four development programs
were examined namely on-the-job programs, off-the-job programs, assessment and mentoring. The
respondents were all below 45 years old and they are either performing professional occupations
or in low to middle level positions and must have participated in development programs. 399
employees participated in the study. The Pearson’s correlation test showed that assessment
program was not significantly correlated to readiness for changes (r = .035, p > .01). On the other
hand, readiness for changes was significantly correlated with the other three MDPs. |
