The hypothesis was investigated that school training was more
effective than on-the-job training. Of a sample of 349 male subjects,
217 received on-the-job training and 132 received school training. Data
were collected and analyzed on tenure, performance, promotions,
salary increases, and accidents.
Training type had a significant positive correlation with tenure
and accident occurrence at the .01 and .05 level, respectively, and a
significant correlation with salary increase at the .05 level. A
regression model using accident occurrence and salary increase yielded
a prediction of training type significant at the .05 level. No
difference was found between the two types of training, as measured
by the study variables.
