Instructional objectives for training programs should focus on _______. A) maximizing work hours B) meeting budget requirements C) motivating current employees D) correcting performance deficiencies

The correct answer is D) correcting performance deficiencies. Instructional objectives for training programs should focus on improving employee performance and addressing any deficiencies that exist. While maximizing work hours and meeting budget requirements are important aspects of running a business, these are not the primary goals of a training program. Similarly, while motivating current employees is important, this is not the main focus of instructional objectives. The primary goal of a training program is to improve employee skills and knowledge, which will ultimately lead to better performance and higher productivity. Correcting performance deficiencies is therefore the most important objective for a training program.
