Study Notes

Management Fundamentals - Chapter 12: Training, Performance Appraisal, and Compensation

The objective is to expose employees to different experiences and a wider variety of skills to enhance job satisfaction and cross-train them.
On-The-Job Training (OJT) is specific to the performance elements of a particular job or task, and can be done by anyone proficient at that task, typically an immediate supervisor or experienced coworker.
Mentoring tends to apply to a broader set of tasks and is usually done by someone experienced, involving hands-on modeling of tasks.
Off the Job Training (OJT) takes place away from the job site, commonly in the form of management training or employee retreats.

Alternatives to supervisory appraisal include peer appraisal, upward appraisal, and 360° feedback.
Intrinsic compensation refers to nonmaterial job benefits, while extrinsic compensation includes material forms like wages, salary, and bonuses.
