Evaluation of Organisation Training by the Solomon Four Group Design: A Field Study in Self‐esteem Training

The evaluation of training programmes is discussed: objectives must be defined and a proper experimental design must be used. The article describes a field study in “Self‐esteem Training” which was also used to examine the application of the Solomon four group design. It was shown that although the participants in the study were unqualified in their support for the programme, the evaluation revealed that it did not have the desired effect on job satisfaction and organisational commitment.
