Regarding the questionnaires, two new models developed form the literature are adopted into the questionnaires design (1) "3D-Grid of Training Modes, Forms and Structures Model', and (2) "Types and Stages of Training and Development Identification Model". A computerized program of SF55 is used for analyzing all the research data. All the data are firstly encoded before inputting into the computer file.
