The Training Gap

Rapid and constant changes in technology necessitate a proactive approach to the maining and development of information systems professionals. However, due to the escalation of demands placed on the information systems fimction, such training and development needs are ofien either ignored or addressed in a reactive mode. We present a model of training that can guide management action in assessing the training needs of IS professionals, in facilitating voluntary participation in training, and in ensuring that training is targeted effectively. The model is strongly grounded in existing theories; it also extends prior research and provides some unique insights into training related issues. Specific research hypotheses related to the model are presented. The design awl operationalimtion of an empirical study that can be utilized to test the research hypotheses is discussed.
