Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) need consistent training to respond effectively to environment demands. However, they have limited physical space within them, which suggests the most valuable thing they have, is the human resource. How can this resource can be endangered, with no investment, future expectations and exposed to galloping obsolescence? This research was conducted in SMEs of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, from January 2010 to June 2011, and aims to examine workers' perceptions among their job environment. The study found that about 80% of workers observed in companies are not motivated to improve performance because of irregular work-space conditions that prevent development and learning activities. Results found different aspects such as temperature, noise and bad light service as the most common problems presented.
