Abstract
The majority of training evaluation research focuses on trainee responses, while there is little research that examines the construct validity and usefulness of participant responses to training and their substance. The purpose of this research is to determine whether Morgan and Casper’s training reactions questionnaire (TRQ) can be utilized effectively in Indonesia. The responses of people who had participated in Energy Manager training were also analyzed in the study to investigate which facets of training programs influenced the overall level of participants’ contentment. Exploratory factor analysis identified comparable structures between earlier research and the current investigation. The Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the questionnaire of training reaction was suitable for the context of Indonesian energy manager training evaluation. The findings support the construct validity and reliability of the TRQ and can be used effectively in Indonesia. We were successful in describing 85.469% of the overall variation in the data, and based on the findings of regression analysis, it was found results indicated that the usefulness of training had the highest explained variance, followed by satisfaction with the instructor. An Implication to the training evaluator is to explore more understanding of the factors that contribute to the usefulness of training and satisfaction with the instructor.
