Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of training and development on employee
performance of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. The main objective of training and development is
to improve employee knowledge and the skills for their better performance. The performance is
measured in terms of the improvement in motivation, efficiency and the Employee Job
Satisfaction. The study was done based on primary and secondary data sources. A selfadministered
structured questionnaire was designed to collect the relevant information from the
respondents. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple
regressions. Regarding the frequency of training provided, many respondents, i.e., 93 out of 282
respondents avowed that they took training for one or two times. This may retard the
effectiveness and motivation of employees of the organization. Regarding the methods
implemented to deliver trainings, the company mostly used a trainer centered (lecture) in which
67 percent (189 out of 282 respondents) affirmed that they took trainings through lecture.
The findings on the Effect of Training on Employee Performance are generally significant.
Respondents’ response shows that the job instructions prepared by the organization are clear
and easy to apply, and they believe also that they receive enough guidance from their peer and
supervisors.
