| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to examine the effects of Training and Development on organizational commitment in the Ethiopian Railways Corporation. To meet the objective of the study, the researcher used descriptive and exploratory research design with quantitative and qualitative research approach. In addition, questionnaires and interview were the primary data gathering tools for this study. Particularly, 152 respondents filled up the questionnaire properly and used to conduct the study. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (correlation and regression analysis) using statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 21. The research finding showed, training and organizational commitment status of the corporation were quite good. The regression result show that, training has statistically greater and positive significant effect on organizational commitment with the value of β = 0.601. However, provision of education opportunity has statistically positive and insignificant effects on organizational commitment with the value of β = 0.155. The correlation result support the above finding, training has strong positive relationship with organizational commitment with r = 0.766** and education opportunity has a moderate relationship with organizational commitment with r= 0.547*. Further, training and development has a positive relationship with continuous and normative commitments. This issue is confirmed by questionnaire and interview participants. Access to training and education was good but education opportunity inclusiveness, poor gap assessment and absence of domestic and performance-based education opportunity influenced the overall achievements of training and educational performances. They said that, most educational opportunity comes from abroad and focuses on some hard sciences departments only. Finally, the corporation utilized established need assessment and knowledge management platform properly and all corporations’ responsible body has more synergy to alleviate the above challenges fully. Key words: - Training, development, organizational commitment | |
