Management training for public welfare agencies: why the need remains unmet

Abstract

Findings from a 1976 survey of directors of staff development and training in state public welfare agencies are presented. These agencies primarily provide program-specific training directly related to agencies' ongoing programs. Although directors recognize broader managerial training as an important unmet need, they do not feel they have the in-house expertise or free resources to provide it. At the same time, they are prevented from purchasing it outside the agency because of its high cost. This need will remain unmet unless substantial federal financial subsidies are provided. (Journal abstract, edited.)
