Effective training and development of human resources is essential for nonprofit
organisations (NPOs) to successfully accomplish their significant social
objectives. Nevertheless, there is little knowledge about the optimal design of
training programmes, particularly when taking into account motivating variables and
the distinctive circumstances of NPOs in Hong Kong.
This research examines the correlations among training methodologies,
employee motivation, and effectiveness in NPOs based in Hong Kong.
Comprehending these connections is crucial since non-profit organisations largely
depend on human capital while having restricted funding for training. Utilising
evidence-based approaches can greatly enhance the effectiveness of training
programmes for NPOs, enabling them to overcome limitations in resources.
Previous studies have explored specific results of nonprofit training, but there
is a lack of research that has statistically analysed the intricate relationships between
determinants of training, motivation, and comprehensive measures of effectiveness.
This mismatch hinders the capacity to strategically direct training programmes.
This research explores the relationships between quality, frequency, results,
and success, as well as the influence of motivation as a moderator. It also examines
the most successful training-motivation models at a local level. Qualitative and
quantitative methodologies examined causal hypotheses.
The quantitative results from 106 individuals indicated averages ranging from
5.02 to 5.95 and standard deviations ranging from 0.31 to 0.52 across different
hypotheses. All statistical tests substantially supported six hypothesised correlations.
By experimentally studying these connections, customised training that
includes incentive may be created to target certain competencies and services.
Utilising evidence-based advice maximises the efficiency of limited NPO resources.
Studying these dynamics allows for making suggestions that help Hong Kong
charities.
The main finding of the research is that by empirically examining these
linkages, it is possible to provide evidence-based recommendations to assist Hong
Kong NPOs in optimising their limited resources. This could be achieved via tailored
training programmes that include motivation and are specifically geared to enhance
their capabilities and services.
