IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This tutorial letter contains important information about your module.
Dear Student
This is the final tutorial letter (Semester 1 and 2) for all students enrolled for IOP3706. We hope
that you have enjoyed the module so far, and that you found the assignments to be both
interesting and challenging. Assignments 01 and 02, as well as 03 (self-assessment) will assist
you in your preparation for the upcoming examination.
As you are aware, due to the ministerial request to extend the 2021 registration dates, Unisa had
to amend both the semester dates and the assessment arrangements for the 2021
academic year. During the year 2021, we only had one semester and only one tuition and
assessment period. This information was shared with you via a tutorial letter titled TL001 which
communicated the new assessment requirements for module IOP3706 for students registered
for both Semester 1 and Semester 2, which were condensed into one semester. Therefore, all
, IOP3706/201/3/2021
students registered in the year 2021 had to complete two compulsory assignments, namely
assignment 1 and assignment 2 respectively. Assignment 3 was a self-assessment task. Thus,
in light of the above, the purpose of this tutorial letter is to:
• provide feedback on Assignment 01
• provide feedback on Assignment 02 and
• provide some general guidelines for the upcoming examination
1. FEEDBACK ON ASSIGNMENT 01:
QUESTION 1
Study material: Coetzee and Schreuder (2016)
Since taking over, your new CEO has decided that not enough emphasis is placed on training
and development. She has since appointed you to investigate the way forward. To determine
which on-the-job training methods would be appropriated, you have to compile a short
feedback report. In your report, you need to address the following:
(a) Distinguish between the on-the-job, off-the-job training methods and management training
methods. (15)
(b) Describe the appropriateness, together with the relative advantages and disadvantages,
of the different training methods. (10)

On-the-job training
On-the-job training is generally less formal training conducted by experienced colleagues and
supervisors, which occurs while the employee is at work. Workplace training methods are very
popular in basic skills training and management training and development. A distinction can
be made between unstructured on-the-job training which tends to be fairly informal,
without clear objectives and structured on-the-job training which refers to: “The planned
process of developing competence on units of work by having an experienced employee train a
novice employee at the work setting or a location that closely resembles the work setting.”
(Jacobs, 2003: 29)

Approach Description
Orientation Introducing new employees to the organisation by explaining things such as
training behaviours, attitudes, norms, culture and systems. Also referred to as induction or
socialisation.
