Abstract:
Training needs analysis (TNA) determines the gap between 'what is' and 'what should be' situations. Construction industry is very important for progress, development and economic growth of a country and therefore the task of analyzing training needs in construction projects is very important aspect in the present scenario of Indian construction industry. Most of the construction projects are running behind the schedule and training imparted to employees is not based on systematic analysis. In this study a model questionnaire has been prepared which is unique because questions related to training needs analysis as well as causes of delay have been included. The data so obtained will be easy for analysis and the results of hypothesis testing will be more reliable. Models developed as the result of TNA will be more realistic as in addition to questions related to TNA, it takes into consideration the most serious problem of construction work i.e. delay which is responsible for time and cost overrun.
