It is in the best interest of both employees and employers to make the training process as effective as possible. This study applied the principles of Knowles's Andragogical Theory to the employee training in the company studied and identified those principles that were most effective in improving the training results from the employees' perspective. The principles of the Andragogical Theory are (1) adults are motivated to learn as they experience needs and interests that learning will satisfy, (2) adults' orientation to learning is life-centered, (3) experience is the richest resource for adult learning, (4) adults have a deep need to be self- directing, and (5) individual differences among people increase with age.
