Can Applied On-Job Training Yield Increased Productivity?

On-job training (OJT) and the zone of proximal learning (ZPL) remain some of the top innovative approaches to increasing the efficacies required in progressive enterprises. Available data indicate that there is a positive correlation between OJT and cumulated productivity. The ZPL is at the cutting-edge of improving cognitive and affective and sensory practices while OJT upsurge the skillfulness required to boost performance in the value creation system. OJT and ZPL can be juxtaposed to progress explicit knowledge difficult for the competition to mimic. A case study is drawn to illustrate how OJT and the ZPL can be applied in the divided labor to grow specialization and design and implement the technology required to upsurge productivity in a successful organization.
