Analytics of Personal Motivation on Acquiring Skills for Workforce with reference to skill development Programmes

Abstract

Purpose: The research aims to inspect and estimate the impact of Personal motivation of trainees on Skill acquiring in skill training. It identifies the relationship between the personal input its impact on the training process and the relation it produces in the outcome (skills acquired)

Design/methodology/approach: A questionnaire for the study was designed, and information was composed on a multistage random sampling basis. Three hundred and eighty-four samples of data were collected and analyzed using Smart PLS - Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique.

Findings: The study shows that Personal motivation plays a positive role in the skill gain of rural youth. It is also clear from the model that training processes like quality and relevance play a mediating role in acquiring skills. The factors help in the understanding type of input to be concentrated by the policymakers to increase a specific outcome. All the factors influence the training outcome (skill acquired) positive results.

Research limitations/implications: This study covers only personal motivation as trainee input. Other training inputs like social factors, economic factors, and equality factors may further be included in future studies.

Social Implications: The study will help the policymakers to get focus on which area the rural youth must be motivated to get the desired outcome. In this case, personal motivation is the key for rural youth to gain skills. Also, the training institutes must ensure that they provide good quality and relevance to boost the personal behavior of rural youth. If a training institute aims at only adding skill gain to the rural youth the major factor to be boosted is the personal factor.

Originality/Value: Only limited studies have examined the impact of Personal factors on the Skills acquired as training outcome with quality and relevance as mediating factors of Smart PLS is a novel idea, and it is a first-hand study of its kind.
