Abstract
Continuous change and competition in the working environment necessitate increased
efficiency and productivity which require different and enhanced skills and abilities. It is
therefore important that the right people with the right skills are selected and employees are
developed to enable them to meet the organisational and national demands of the future.
This dissertation investigates the relationship between learning potential, English
language proficiency and work-related training test results to establish why some production
employees perform better on work-related training test results than others.
The results indicate that there is no significant relationship between the work-related training
test results and either learning potential or English language proficiency. There is, however, a
significant correlation between learning potential and English language proficiency. It might be
worthwhile exploring the availability and adequacy of assessors
as well as the motivational level of the production employees as factors that influence the
progress made with work-related training test results.
