        Summary
        Understanding the effects of training is crucial for organisations as this often guides their human capital decisions. In this article, the relationship between training and cooperation is analysed by considering the effect of risk propensity. Risk propensity is differentiated in more general sensation seeking propensity and job related risk propensity. A contextualized laboratory experiment of 126 participants from the Experimental Laboratory for Sociology and Economics (ELSE) at Utrecht University was used for multiple regression analysis. The outcome of the analysis revealed that risk propensity did not significantly lower the relationship between training and cooperation. It was found that sensation seeking propensity positively affects cooperation.
