Grounded Theory is that discovers theories, concepts, hypotheses, and theorems directly from data, rather than inferring from previous assumptions, other existing research, or theoretical frameworks.ResultsFinally, according to the main purpose of the study, which is to develop a model for selecting staff training approaches (supportive, non-supportive, neutral and contingent) and considering teaching-learning approaches that include formal, informal and free training, it was found that most managers choose a contingency approach and finally the general research model is extracted.DiscussionIn the last decade, with the advent of new technologies in production, communication, change in the capabilities of industrial units, production methods, distribution and organizational structure of enterprises has emerged, which has mainly increased the importance of small and medium units.
