The Effect of Education on Job Productivity: a Comparison of Online Education Versus Classroom Education Steve Roussas

In the last 10-15 years, there has been a dramatic shift from traditional physical classroom post-secondary education toward the asynchronous online educational model. Today, most every state university and college delivers education using online and classroom approaches. It appears though that this shift has not impressed the talent recruiters. Traditional universities offering classroom education are still their preferred recruiting sources. This book contributes a greater understanding of the difference, if any, of online education versus traditional education in employee productivity leading to greater organizational effectiveness. This knowledge can be used by all constituent stakeholders including executives, managers, employees in making a decision of where to pursue their education, and recruiters in better evaluating candidates. The book will enable recruiters to make better hiring decisions and to identify the most eligible candidates who can help achieve organizational productivity and consequently achieve the desired goals and strategies of the company.
