The study was conducted on three groups of respondents’ team leaders, managing directors and HRM executive director. In order to meet the objective of the study descriptive survey research method, inferential statistics and thematic analysis were employed. A total of 105 team leaders drawn from six colleges selected on simple random bases were used as actual source of information. Six managing directors and one executive HRM director were approached for interview that was used to fill the gap in the questionnaire. The responses of this study were analyzed by using percentage, (quantitative) and qualitatively. The result of this study indicated that: first, Addis Ababa University has training plan on its strategic plan, but it doesn’t give attention to the administrative staffs’ development. And also It doesn’t have a periodic management need assessment and mostly selection of trainees is more dependent on the views of their immediate bosses. Evaluating training programs is poor and the major challenges on MD practices in Addis Ababa University, as the majority of respondents agree, inadequate knowledge about management development problem, Inaccurate training need analysis and Lack of technical and managerial capability in conducting training program consecutively.This studyconcluded that the whole process of MD practices starting from the strategicplan, Needs assessments, Methods used for training and evaluation are not carried out thoroughly and in sustainable manner.Organizing and providing training and development programsfor the administrative staffs is not the concern of the top management.
