SAPIEN AGUILAR, Alma Lilia; PINON HOWLET, Laura Cristina  and  GUTIERREZ DIEZ, María del Carmen. Training in the Mexican company: a study of job training. Civilizar [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.27, pp.123-134. ISSN 1657-8953.

The processes of training and instruction in a medium-sized Mexican company are not being understood as an investment that contributes to business success. The aim of this study was to analyze these processes. The methodological approach was exploratory and descriptive with a non-experimental or ex post facto design. The Mexican Business Information System was consulted and 17 medium-sized companies in the industrial sector were randomly chosen. The results indicated that in the median Mexican company decisive actions must be taken in order to achieve that training and instruction are no longer seen as an unnecessary expense. They need to be understood as the best investment one can make in human resources. Therefore, training and instruction must become a part of the work culture of any organization.

Keywords : Training; instruction; medium-sized companies; work culture.
