İkinci aşamada ön testten elde edilen ifadeler sınıflandırılarak 6’lı ölçekle ölçeklendirilmiş, on çoktan seçmeli beş kapalı uçlu soruyla birleştirilerek anket formu hazırlanmıştır. Anketler İstanbul ilinde çeşitli sektörlerde gören yapan 300 yöneticiye e-mail aracılığıyla dağıtılmış geri dönen 136 anketin 126’sı değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Yöneticiler tepe yönetim, baranş yöneticileri ve alt kademe yöneticiler olarak sınıflandırılarak toplanan veriler istatistik paket programında faktör analizi, bağımsız örnek t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve frekans analizi uygulanarak değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, yöneticilerin ‘kişisel gelişim’ kavramını kişilik gelişimi, farkındalık, kendini ayarlama, mesleki gelişim olarak tanımlarken; ‘kişisel gelişim eğitimi’ kavramını farkındalık yaratan eğitimler ve bilgi-beceri edinme aracı olarak tanımlamışlardır. Yöneticilerin genel anlamda eğitime olumlu bir bakış açısıyla yaklaştıkları tespit edilmiştir.
