Abstract

This paper presents the results of training evaluation programmes attended by sixty workers but assessed by twenty four managers in twelve small metallurgical firms in the Lisbon area of Portugal in 1999. In addition, the model used to assess training effectiveness was the well-kwon Kirkpatrick`s four-level model. Besides, this paper shows the results of business performances of the above twelve small firms via a set of six variables. Finally, a correlation analysis performed to establish a relationship between training effectiveness and business success. The findings support such a strong relationship based upon Spearman correlation index, as carried out by SPSS.
