Abstract

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the training effectiveness on potential entrepreneurs through opportunity for participation given on a task in an organisation. The methodology used in this study is a survey research through a quantitative approach. Questionnaires are used in collecting data in a cross-sectional survey. The data were analysed using the special package for social sciences (SPPS). Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis were conducted. Sobel test was also conducted to confirm the mediating effect of opportunity for participation. The findings revealed that there is a positive relationship between training effectiveness (Kirkpatrick four levels) and potential entrepreneur's performance. The regression analysis indicates that opportunity for participation has been a dominant factor of the relationship between training effectiveness and potential entrepreneur's performance. The integration of a mediator in the frame contributes to the Kirkpatrick model in the extant training and development as well as entrepreneurship literature. Furthermore, policy makers and HR departments of business organisations will have more appreciation of how training can be appropriately evaluated more particularly, the on-the-job training for an improved performance.
