Evaluating the Linkage Between Employee Training Programmes and Prosocial Organizational Behavior
Öz: This study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of employee training
programmes on prosocial organizational behaviors. Empirical research was performed
with the employees of Arabian Gulf Oil Company (AGOCO). Questionnaire technique
was used for gathering the data. At this juncture, accepted scales in the literature
related to variables were utilized. Prosocial organizational behaviors were identified in
the literature as prosocial organizational behavior, role-prescribed prosocial behavior,
and prosocial individual behavior while employee training programmes were examined
in terms of motivation for training, benefits of training, and support for training.
Variables of this study were accepted using these classifications and hypotheses were
tested through correlation and regression analyses. All the hypotheses were supported
and the findings that have been obtained provide that motivation for training, benefits
of training, and support for training have a significantly positive effect on prosocial
organizational behaviors of employees working at Libyan oil sector and specifically
employees of AGOCO. The findings of the study will be beneficial for the Libyan oil sector
and other sectors to improve their strategy regarding employee training programmes
and prosocial organizational behaviors.
