| dc.description.abstract | Employee is a valuable asset of an organization. The survival of the organization depends upon its employee performance. Thus, AAU is investing on training for the employees of its Colleges. This study, therefore, tried to assess the effect of training on employee performance in the case of the selected Colleges namely - College of Humanities, Language Studies, Journalism and Communication; and College of Performing and Visual Arts. In order to get the real picture of the effect of training on employee performance, the research design was causal research design. The total population of the study was 240 and 150 sample respondents were selected by using proportionate stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Cross-sectional survey strategy was conducted to gather data from sample employees. The sources of data were primary and secondary. The primary data were collected via self-administered structured questionnaire and the secondary data were gathered from available relevant published as well as unpublished materials. The questionnaires were distributed to all 150 sample respondents in which 138 of them returned i.e. the response rate was 92%. To present and analyze data, descriptive and inferential statistic analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20. Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between training needs assessment, training design, training delivery, and training evaluation (training dimensions); and employee performance. The findings revealed that training needs assessment; training design; training delivery; and training evaluation have a statistically significant and positive relationship with employee performance. The study was also employed multiple regression analysis to identify the overall effect of training on employee performance. The result showed that 79.7% of variation in the employee performance can be explained by the training dimensions. Therefore, the study concluded that training has strong positive effect on employee performance in the two selected Colleges of AAU. | en_US |
