A Study on Human Resources Development Initiatives in District Central Cooperative Banks of Kerala: A Perceptional Analysis

Abstract

Every investment should result in generation of yields. This principle is applicable to HRD also. Accordingly, every organization expects returns from the investment made for human resource development. However, the success of this motto of the organization depends on the effective formulation, implementation and evaluation of HRD programs. The impact of HRD programs or initiatives undertaken by the cooperative banks can only be assessed effectively provided the factors affecting the needs for training, feedback of training attended and outcomes of training are identified properly and policy on HRD programmes is made by prioritizing those factors.

            In this paper an attempt has been made to analyze the perceptions of sample employees classified into different categories so as to study the type of HRD climate prevailing in the selected banks under study and the differences in the perception of employees on the basis of designation, age, experience, qualification and gender followed by the perceptional analysis with ranking of all Central Cooperative Banks of Kerala using Ienger Sudarshan model of ranking.
