O AVANÇO DAS INOVAÇÕES DIGITAIS NA EDUCAÇÃO CORPORATIVA

This study aims to present the advancement of digital innovations in corporate education, observing how new technologies and business models influence teaching and learning at work. Digitalization has generated new opportunities for professional development, allowing a more effective integration between educational practices and the work environment, and promoting continuous learning in a competitive market. Corporate education must be a fundamental pillar for change in future organizations, transforming into digital learning ecosystems. These ecosystems will face challenges to improve usability and the educational experience, promoting technological, social and cultural changes within companies. The proposal is to conduct exploratory research with a qualitative approach and inductive logic, which focuses on the quality and depth of the information collected, rather than being based on pre-existing theoretical concepts. Inductive logic, which is based on observation of facts, allows the validation or refutation of existing concepts. The chosen method is a qualitative literature review, ideal for exploring the complexity of innovative corporate education and its role in organizational transformation. This method is suitable for investigating ideas and models about educational practices and technologies in a context of digital transformation, as it allows a practical analysis of the phenomenon in its real environment.

Employee training as a tool to achieve goals depending on SME’s type

Employee training is one of the most important areas of human resources management and is key to the career development of employees. The aim is to determine how the sector and size of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) influence the corporate education of employees. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed among 610 SMEs in the Czech Republic; valid answers were obtained from 581 enterprises. The respondents mainly include managers responsible for employee education or other representatives with relevant experience. This database was tested using statistical methods, including Pearson’s chi-squared test of independence, Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. The results indicate that enterprises with 150-250 employees try to provide them with training that would correspond to the so-called work-life balance. Enterprises with 50-149 employees often have a larger budget and resources to invest in corporate training. The results show that in terms of SME size, employee training is most commonly applied by medium-sized enterprises. It is confirmed that the bigger the enterprise, the more frequently its employees are trained. On the other hand, the sector does not significantly influence employee training. Slightly above-average use of employee training is observed in the transport and logistics sectors, but the difference is not substantial.

기업교육이 특성화고 학생의 전문교과 정의적 영역 성취에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data necessary for operating corporate education by analyzing the impact of corporate education on students' achievement in specialized areas of professional education by major factors, corporate education factors, and school education factors. The specific results are as follows. First, after participating in corporate training, learning orientation, self-control, value awareness, and confidence in specialized subject classes increased, but anxiety and interest had a relatively low impact. Second, as a result of analysis by major factors, industrial majors such as machinery, electricity/electronics, and information and communication showed lower scores than other majors in the overall affective domain. Third, as a result of analysis by corporate education factors, the higher the satisfaction with corporate education and the satisfaction of corporate field teachers, the higher the students' achievement in the positive areas of specialized subjects. As a result of analyzing the differences according to corporate training methods, the formal learning method was 'passing on knowledge and skills directly while performing tasks or tasks with an apprentice', 'transferring knowledge through lectures, assigning tasks to apprentices and checking periodically'. , it was found that the method of ‘letting apprentices learn textbooks or learning tools on their own and checking the learning results’ had a higher impact on achievement in the affective domain than the method of ‘working similarly to other employees’. Fourth, the results for each school education factor showed that the more visits, consultations, and participation in corporate education guidance by school teachers, the higher the achievement in the affective area.

An Exploration of Key Success Factors for Enterprises Implementing Online Education Training Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology

Abstract The key factor in achieving a competitive advantage for businesses lies in the talents that cannot be easily replicated. In the face of economic changes and the post-pandemic era, leveraging technology to accelerate learning scenarios and enhance employee competitiveness becomes paramount in corporate management. Due to technological advancements, online learning, characterized by its freedom from temporal and spatial constraints, has emerged as one of the forms for corporate education and training. Past empirical studies on the effectiveness of online education have yielded mixed results. Therefore, this study seeks to explore the reasons behind these discrepancies, serving as a reference for formulating educational training programs and providing assistance to relevant industries in evaluating the implementation of online education and training. The researcher employs the Integrated Technology Acceptance and Use Model as the foundation. In the first phase, relevant literature is collected, leading to the identification of four dimensions and 14 indicators. In the second phase, a Likert five-point scale is employed to extract the top three indicators for each of the four dimensions. Finally, a survey using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process questionnaire is conducted to obtain the relative weights for the four dimensions and twelve indicators, with the dimensions ranked in the following order: hedonic motivation, habit, price value, and personal innovativeness. The study concludes with five propositions, aiming to provide crucial reference points for companies implementing online education and training, ultimately speeding up adoption and enhancing the intention to use online education.

Using gamification to stimulate employee innovation

In today's global economy, marked by intense competition, fast-evolving technology, shifting political dynamics, and ever-changing consumer tastes, innovation is crucial. It's not only a major driver for the prolonged success of organizations but also an essential requirement for their sustainable growth. However, despite the widely accepted understanding of the importance of innovation, stimulating innovative activity at the individual employee level often faces a range of organizational and psychological barriers, making this task quite complex and multifaceted. In this regard, this article conducts an in-depth analysis of gamification as an innovative and promising approach to stimulating employee innovative activity. The article explores four main strategies of gamification from the perspective of economic theories and management principles: methods based on incentives; methods focusing on competition; approaches that emphasize identity; and methods centered on recognition and feedback. For each of these methods, their advantages, limitations, and examples of real-world application in leading companies across various industries are presented. Additionally, the article emphasizes the strategic importance of investing in corporate education. The importance is emphasized that such investments not only enhance the skills of employees but also lay the groundwork for a culture of innovation. This culture, in turn, establishes the organization's long-term competitive advantages. The article proposes a comprehensive, flexible, and adaptive approach to the selection and application of gamification methods. This approach can be individualized and adapted in accordance with the corporate culture, strategic goals, and available resources of each specific organization, making it the most effective tool for stimulating innovation in the workplace.

Business education in the system of professional development of corporation managers

The corporate education system is implemented through sequential and step-by-step in-company training based on integrity of goals, objectives, functions, learning technologies, content structure of the training material, which add flexibility and vitality to the entire learning process with an advance reflection of reality. The definition of a corporate training center in terms of a systematic approach is formulated as a system in which training and development of personnel is initiated and managed by the company itself, carried out within the company and involves internal resources. Thus, training and professional development of managers is not just an element of organizational practice or type of activity of certain employees of the organization, but a full-fledged part of the development strategy of the organization and the entire existing organizational system. To implement this process, modern TNCs create corporate training centers in which training and personnel development is initiated and managed by the company itself, carried out within the company and involves internal resources. The algorithm of creating a corporate training center covers a number of stages, in particular: support by the management, legal and financial support; creation of organizational and pedagogical conditions; program and content implementation support and practical application of the personnel training system; control and reporting system at the same time; adjusting training plans and programs; personnel motivation. The study does not exhaust the problem of professional development of managers in transnational corporations. Issues of cross-cultural training of managers in the corporate education system, training of andragogues (training managers, instructors, coaches, tutors, etc.) for effective activity in corporate training centers remain relevant. Perspective directions for further research are also theoretical-methodological and didactic substantiation of talent management and development of their creative potential, development of tools for stimulation and retention of managers who have received training.

IMPACTS OF COVID-19 ON CORPORATE UNIVERSITY AND TRENDS

The main purpose of this article is to identify the main actions adopted by Corporate Universities (CUs) during the COVID-19 pandemic period, as well as trends for the post-pandemic period. To this end, a systematic literature review was conducted on Scopus and Web of Science databases. A questionnaire was developed and validated by experts in the field of Corporate Education, and the survey link was made available on the Qualtrics platform to those involved or interested in the topic. Interviews were also conducted with executives from CUs of large Brazilian organizations during the pandemic period. The questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis, as well as content analysis of the interviews. As a result, the main actions taken by CUs focused on the qualification of their instructors, leaders, and professionals. There was an increase in investments by CUs, with an emphasis on the adoption of digital technologies, accompanied by actions aimed at engagement, motivation, and emotional well-being. The main trends for the post-COVID-19 period point to the expansion of short-term hybrid courses and changes in business models to adapt to the new challenges generated by the pandemic. One of the main consequences of the pandemic is the considerable recognition, by employees of organizations, users, and leaders of CUs, of the importance of social and humanities approaches adopted by them. Furthermore, it is understood that the relevant role of CUs tends to be reinforced based on the increasing value of the notion of sustainability in their courses and managerial training practices aimed at the sustainable development of organizations and society.
