Abstract

Human capital is a source of competitive advantage for organizations, in which education and training play important roles in the process of increasing the quality and quantity of human capital. Specifically, large-scale multinationals use systemized, structured methods to establish education and training systems. By studying the employees in a major food company in China, this paper is to investigate the influence of education and training on employees' work attitudes and the moderating effect of supervisors' attitudes. It is found that education and training have a positive influence on employees' work attitudes. Among the training courses, the training of managerial ability has the most significant influence, followed by self-development courses. In addition, supervisors' attitudes toward employees receiving managerial ability training, during and after the training, clearly have a positive moderating effect on employees' overall work attitudes.
