Abstract Purpose: Is to investigate the relationship between training and development (T&D) methods and organizational performance in the local government sector, as well as contribute to knowledge. Research Methodology: The study employed a quantitative approach and correlation design, a census sampling method to sample 215 employees, a structured questionnaire to collect data, multiple linear regression to test hypotheses, and the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 to input, transform and analyze the data. Result: The result shows that training and development (T & D) methods (job orientation, job rotation, workshop & conference, and classroom lectures) had a significant relationship with organizational performance. The findings also revealed that training and development (T & D) methods (job orientation, workshop & conference, and classroom lectures) have a significant relationship with the quality of service delivery. However, job rotation has no relationship with quality service delivery. Limitation: The study's main weakness is that it only looked at four different training and development methods and their impact on organizational performance and service quality. Another flaw in the study is that it only looked at one metropolitan assembly. Contribution: In this regard, metropolitan and municipal assembly executives and managers should consider employing training and development methods that provide stronger predictions to boost the organization’s performance and delivery of quality services to communities. They should train and develop employees within the organization as soon as political power changes hands to enhance organization performance because policy adherence is critical to the organization's performance.

This study aims to test the hypothesized relationship of training and organizational performance in Nepalese banking sector. A survey design approach was applied. Ten commercial banks were selected randomly and 230 respondents from various banks participated in the survey. Likert scale questions were used for getting responses. Multiple regression analysis, ANOVA, and simple descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. All training techniques taken individually and in group (formal, informal) were regressed on turnover growth. The study result confirmed that the both incidence and intensity of training has strong effect on organizational performances particularly the turnover growth. Interestingly the study found that the firms investing predominantly in formal training better performed than those relying on informal training. However, the firm size, organization structure and technology have moderating effect on training-performance relationship stressing for requisites of further research to confirm the cross sectional validity of findings rather than to its early generalizations.The Saptagandaki Journal Vol.8 2017: 31-41
