On-the-job training can be defined as the enhancement of job competence acquisition, involving one or more of the following elements: (i) the actual work processes, (ii) the physical work environment, and (iii) the social work environment. Research into on-the-job is in its infancy, although it comprises a substantial portion of employee training There is an important distinction between structured and unstructured on-the-job training, but structure is just one of the dimensions needed to describe the variety of forms on-the-job training can take. Recent studies offer insights into conditions, processes, and effects of on-the-job training These insights should be integrated in a theory on on-the-job training.
