Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine formative evaluations of the training programs in order to uncover the configurations of designs which lead to the success of failure of trainers and trainees and to identify any common designs that generate this success or failure.Design/methodology/approachData is taken from an entire calendar year using a 2017 database involving 429 training events by 264 trainers and 2,264 trainees and configurations are identified using a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA).FindingsThe results show that for trainers more configurations (five) are shown to lead to success than failure while for trainees fewer (three) lead to success than failure(six). One configuration leading to success and two leading to failure are common to both.Practical implicationsTherefore, this suggests that consideration of configurations which lead to success should be put in place when designing training programs and damaging pathways avoided.Originality/valueThis paper has an original approach as it analyses the success and failure of trainers and trainees concurrently through use of the fsQCA method.
