    Abstract:

    The purpose of this research is to evaluate the performance of on-the-job training (OJT) on the quality of passenger cars in Pars Khodro's paint shop based on the achieve model. The research method is survey. To collect data, the library-field method was used in the form of a questionnaire. The tool for compiling this study was the researcher-made questionnaire, which is the result of the theoretical foundations of the research. The statistical population of this research consists of all the managers, experts and supervisors of Pars Khodro company's paint salon, whose number is 437 people, and 205 people were selected as the sample size from Cochran's formula. A stratified random sampling method was used to distribute the questionnaire. To determine the validity of the questionnaires, the content validity method was used by 10 experts and professors of the university, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaires, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 9.9 for all questionnaire items showed that the data collection tool has the necessary high reliability. SPSS and lisrel software were used for data analysis. Finally, according to the path coefficients (b) and the t statistic at the confidence level of 99, all the hypotheses are confirmed. Finally, suggestions and solutions for improving the performance of on-the-job training (OJT) and the quality of passenger cars have been presented. Keywords: performance, on-the-job training, quality, car repair

    1 Introduction

    Manpower is one of the most important factors in the economic, social and cultural development of any country. Equipping human resources with the skills and expertise needed for work and professional work is one of the most important ways to achieve the desired development goals. It is obvious that employees in any government or private institution are considered human capital. If these people do not have the necessary and appropriate knowledge, data, and skills, they will cause many financial losses, lives, etc. to the organizations. Therefore, timely and instead of required specialist manpower is considered a necessity, and providing such a necessity will not be possible without following the principles and techniques of manpower management and ultimately management and educational planning. The process of on-the-job training of employees in different companies must necessarily be in line with the political, social, economic and cultural goals of a system (Mohammadi, 2009). In this section, the research problem and the reason for conducting this research are discussed first. Then, the necessity of conducting the research is stated, and then topics such as goals, questions, and theoretical and operational definitions of the research are stated. Today, the challenges facing all organizations and institutions and governments are efficiency and performance. The rapid emergence of new commercial and economic blocs in the field of global competition requires the inevitable necessity of all-round transformation in all dimensions. In particular, human resources planning to achieve increased performance is one of the priorities of all managers. The requirement of self-sufficiency of any country depends on the development of that country in various fields, and the development of any country depends on the activities of its people. In fact, skilled and specialized manpower is one of the key and undeniable factors of comprehensive economic development of any country. The realization of the ideal, independence and self-sufficiency in different dimensions completely depends on the expertise and skills of people, and the connection of such skills requires the implementation of educational programs (Mohammadi Naini, 2016).

    A historical-analytical look at the direction of employee training shows the existence of the basic principle of employing educational activities and processes in order to meet organizational needs, and the category of education is clearly related to the category of organizational needs. Meeting such needs through educational activities can be discussed and investigated at the micro and macro levels, so that in many countries, especially industrialized societies, education is specially used to meet economic and social needs. On the other hand, it should be noted that in order to increase the performance of employees, it is necessary to familiarize and adapt them to the work environment, which requires their technical and scientific knowledge and skills to meet organizational and individual goals.. Training not only helps employees in the implementation of their current job duties and activities, but also helps them develop in their future responsibilities.

    In fact, one of the factors of economic, social and cultural development is the all-round expansion of education and training of specialized and efficient human resources. The increasing developments in the field of knowledge and technology create new training needs for different jobs, and while formal and university education alone is not the answer, and as a result, other types of training, including on-the-job training, are needed.

    Manpower training in organizations was not regularly and scientifically considered until the emergence of the scientific management school in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Attention to this issue became more intense with the globalization of education and the increasing growth of data technology, communications and rapid changes in knowledge and skills.[1] In this period, human capital was considered as the most important factor of organizational development and training as the best tool to answer this need. This type of training, which was referred to as on-the-job training, was a systematic effort whose main goal was to coordinate the immediate interests and needs of individuals with the needs and goals of the organization in order to improve the performance of individuals in the workplace through continuous acquisition of knowledge, skills, rules and attitudes (Orangi et al., 2019, p. 96). It places graduates and advances them along with the progress of science and technology, and therefore, the development of these trainings leaves its desired effect in improving the quality of the educational system. On the other hand, employee training, as the golden key to the development of the organization, is one of the main factors and important pillars that bring the organization to its dynamism and ultimate performance and effectiveness. The goals of employee training in various institutions are generally aligned with the strategic goals of social systems and in the same direction. Committed human resources in an organization can quickly compensate and secure material losses with their actions and taking correct and timely decisions. In fact, understanding the necessity and importance of on-the-job training is directly related to the necessity of continuous training as well as the training of adults in every society.

    In this way, training can be considered as a prelude to progress and increase the performance of an organization. In today's era, due to the increasing speed of science and technology, people's performance depends to a large extent on the amount of training they receive before or during their employment, and otherwise, due to the complexity and omnipresence of changes, they will not have the optimal performance to perform their duties in the organization. The acceleration and movement of societies in the second half of the 20th century from old ways to new changes and acceptance of those changes has been such that in many other sections of the society today it is a reminder that in order to maintain the efficiency of the system, its factors and components, training of employees and adapting their abilities to new needs and new responsibilities should be considered. On the other hand, the requirements in the social environment have brought the organization to gradual trends towards open systems in order to preserve its life and increase its operational performance. Among the primary elements in order to realize such conditions, it is clearly necessary to emphasize the preparation of the learning organization, the creation of the organization and the society. On-the-job training of employees is one of the mechanisms and activities that can provide a platform for the realization of such organizations. In our country, a lot of investments are spent on holding in-service training courses in organizations, but most of the training methods used for in-service training are traditional and the extent of their impact on the quality of products is in an aura of uncertainty.
