This article was aimed at investigating the impact of training and development on employee performance and productivity in Jumhuria bank. Interviews were conducted with employees. It was observed that there was a lack of a comprehensive system for assessing the training needs, participant selection and effective procedures for their evaluation. Further the evaluation of training was poor and only for namesake. Also, rather than playing highly proactive role training was just reactive in nature. It was also found that training and development was highly relevant and effective in improving the staff member's knowledge, skills, behaviour and attitudes. training did not have any impact over innovation, absenteeism, job turnover rate and job satisfaction. Nevertheless, training increased the employee's job performance and productivity. It was observed that the process of training and development was associated with various problems.

The study examined the impact of training and development on job performance in the Banking sector in Uganda among the selected four banks of Equity Bank, Bank of Africa, Barclays Bank Uganda and Centenary Bank and specifically looked at the relationship between training needs identification, training methods, monitoring, evaluation of training and job performance in the banking sector in Uganda. The study used correlation research design to address the relationship between variables. The study involved managers, heads of departments at each bank and employees. Data was collected using questionnaires to facilitate quantitative approaches in the study. Data was analyzed at three levels that is; univerariate, bi-variate and multi-variate. Univeriate analysis fetched descriptive statistics in form frequencies and percentages while bivariate analysis obtained correlations between variables. At multivariate level a logistic regression model was used to ascertain the magnitude of effect of each independent variable on the dependent variable. Study findings at a bi-variate level revealed a positive and significant relationship between the independent variables (identify training needs, identify training objectives, training content, on the job training technique, off the job training technique, skills application and Knowledge application) and the dependent variable (job performance). At the multi-variate level, it was revealed that all independent variables except knowledge application in the training and evaluation process explain 69% of job performance in the model. It was concluded that identification of training objectives, identification of training objectives and skills application have a positive significant effect on job performance in the banking sector in Uganda. It was therefore recommended that there is need to need to streamline the needs assessment process before the training process, endeavor to clearly define training objectives and have a strict monitoring and evaluation process on trainees.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine two important family roles, financial and caregiver, and their impact on four relevant outcome variables: absenteeism, partial absences, employee performance, and life satisfaction; they also explore the intervening impact of core self-evaluations (CSE) among these relationships. Design/methodology/approach – Data are collected using a questionnaire and actual employee performance data. Hypotheses were assessed in a structural model using LISREL. Findings – The results demonstrate the impact of family roles on important outcomes, such as absenteeism and life satisfaction, as well as limited support of the moderating impact of CSE. Further, life satisfaction was significantly impacted by family roles and influenced job performance. Research limitations/implications – Although the measures were self-reported, actual job performance data were collected from company records; such a design should limit the risk of common method variance (Podsakoff et al., 2003). Practical implications – Two family roles were shown to impact life satisfaction and these were positively moderated by CSE. Therefore, organization can develop family-friendly programs and policies to support employee’s multiple family roles in an effort to increase employee’s levels of life satisfaction and job performance. Incorporating CSE in the hiring process or providing employees with the skills and abilities to enhance their level of CSE should impact job performance. Originality/value – The study contributes by assessing family roles using gender-neutral measures that assess level of role engagement. It also incorporates a dispositional variable, CSE, and its relation to family roles and job performance.

The study focused on assessing the impact of training and development on employee performance in the Namibia Defence Force (NDF) at Okahandja. Since its inception, the NDF has been providing continuous training and development programs to pursue the organizational mission & vision. Sadly, for the past two (2) years when the organization started facing financial challenges; it suspended most of its training activities both internal and external. This, in turn, has affected employees’ performance who should be continuously trained during peacetime to upgrade their skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to perform their duties professionally. The study employed descriptive research design to draw a sample of 100 employees from a population of 500 employees. Correlation analysis was used to establish relationship between training, development, and employee’s performance. The study found out that there was positive relationship between training and development with employee’s and NDF performance. It also revealed that employee’s performance increased the way the NDF staffs works with other government agencies across the country. Therefore, the NDF should seek to prioritize their training and development (T&D) programmes based on the training budget and avoid random cost cutting.
