A study on performance evaluation of the human resources training program

Abstract

To grow a nation sustainably, it is very important to secure key talented persons taking the lead in R&D of the nation in respect of the policy. In addition, discovery of key R&D talented persons suitable for local industrial systems is needed for balanced advancement of the nation. In these circumstances, every nation and department has been implementing the R&D human resources training project to secure key R&D talented persons in the region. The exclusive organization dealing with local R&D human resources training projects could be changed according to the period and purposes. Whenever the exclusive organization is changed, the necessity has been posed to objectively analyze and evaluate the project performance and to reflect the result into a design of new project plans for checking whether the purposes and means of the project are compliant. However, the local R&D human resources training projects have applied different performance analysis models according to characteristics of the exclusive organizations and the projects, and there is no objective performance analysis framework. Therefore, this paper understood characteristics of the human resources training project to design a performance analysis model that could be used for objective analysis and evaluation. The performance analysis model was designed after considering utilization of human resources and R&D performance for the region in detail, and an empirical analysis was carried out for some projects. This could be used as an objective evaluation index for the local R&D human resources training projects, which are currently in operation or to be implemented in the future, of every nation and department.
