Our empiric knowledge indicates that offering monetary incentives to those who conclude the training is a more direct and highly effective motivational measure to be adopted. Considering that Teagasc is a Governmental Organization, however, we realize the public budget is not flexible enough to allow this line of action. Our suggestion in this scenario is motivating through cost-free actions like personal distinctions in notice boards and internal memos, paid days off, etc.

3. Evaluating the benefits of self-managed learning to Teagasc and to its employees.

Guglielmino and Guglielmino (2001) contended that the self-directed learner is the cornerstone of the learning organization. Organisations have the urge to incentive its employees to relearn how to be independent, creative and to work as a part of a team; increasing their overall job performance. To do this people need to develop their ability to learn from experience, to survive in the existing environment and to grow. NTS recognises that this process may be difficult for both the individual and the organisation to manage in the short term and yet we feel that the rewards are likely to far outweigh the costs. We believe Teagasc employees will be likely to be more fulfilled in their jobs and to be more entrepreneurial from the organization

The crises of the 1970s and 1980s triggered a new effort to articulate….
