Using the sample of 210 faculty members (lecturer, assistant professor, associate professor, and professor) serving in public sector universities of Pakistan, we explored the training (TRG), skill development (SD), and employees’ capability (EC) and found that these are positively and significantly related to the employees’ performance (EP). In other words, TRG, SD, and EC enhance the performance of employees as predicted. The current study has made a contribution to the empirical knowledge and elaborates various policy implications for stakeholders.

The latter differences are for the favor of the associate professors. There are statistically significant differences between the respondents’ attitudes in this regard which be attributed to type of faculty. The latter differences are for the favor of the ones who work in scientific faculties. The researchers of the present study recommend exerting more efforts by the administrations of Jordanian public universities to promote international educational principles.
