Abstract
This article challenges the use of intuitive approaches for determining an organization's training needs. It establishes the need for a research‐based approach to the development and validation of a training needs assessment model and then demonstrates the feasibility of using such an approach by describing the process used to develop and test the Performance Analysis for Training (PAT) Model. The process of developing and testing the PAT model resulted in (1) research in the area of assessing training needs, (2) a model to assist practitioners in moving from theory to practice, and (3) a model that is based on explicit assumptions and that fits the realities of the dynamic organizations in which needs analysts work.
