An Analysis of the Effectiveness of the Problem Solving Skills for Managers Training Package--USCG

Abstract

This thesis examines the Problem Solving Skills for Managers training package, piloted by the Coast Guard Leadership and Management School in April 1983. Four questionnaire instruments developed by the company which produced the training package were analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the training program. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test/control group research design was used by the Coast Guard project manager and this thesis used a regression procedure to counter-act any regression effect. The results of the analysis suggest that the training program was not effective as given and suggests further study to determine why it was not effective.
