ABSTRACT
Purpose:
The self-evaluation of management training had the objective of verifying the influence of the learning support and of the management training offered to managers of a Brazilian federal autarchy on the expression of competences required for the performance of their duties.
Originality/value:
To reach this objective, the hypothesized theoretical model of research was elaborated having as variables the criteria of training impacts in the labor, measured both in depth and in amplitude, measured on what was the importance and contribution of two evaluated courses for the acquisition and expression of management-labor skills.
Design/methodology/approach:
Regarding the methodology, two courses were offered in the distance modality, in this autarchy, which dealt with strategic management and teams. Data collection was performed at a distance. The final sample (N = 291) was predominantly male, between 31 and 50 years old, and with complete graduate education.
Findings:
The results showed a valid and construct evidence for the used measures, as well as pointed out that learning support was an important predictor in the final empirical models. Having a constant investment in actions to improve learning support in the organizational environment, such managers can apply in their routines the skills acquired in a training situation, in a more persistent, impactful and aligned with the strategic objectives of the autarchy.
