- Summary:
-
This pilot study was undertaken to determine the relationship between measurable performance of engineers on the job and participation in continuing education (CE). The results of the study showed that CE participation was the dominant predictor of performance, while inherent ability and drive seemed less important. Participation in technical, business, and other CE were shown to be positively related to growth in compensation; participation in business CE was shown to be positively related to growth in supervisory responsibility. The results seem to indicate cumulative effects of CE participation over time and clearly show that CE can affect job performance more than other parameters such as ability and drive. (SK)
