To gather and analyze primary data, the researcher utilized a cross-sectional explanatory study design together with quantitative research approaches. A survey tool was modified from prior literatures in order to gather primary data. A total of 200 surveys questionnaires were issued to the staff of 16 chosen Awash Bank S.C. branches or to managers, IT specialists, and clerical staff using stratified and purposive sampling approaches; however, only 194 questionnaires representing a 97.0% response rate were fully completed and returned. To determine the effect of the training and developments factors (i.e., training needs assessment, objectives of the training, training content, training methods, selection of trainees, training delivery, and training evaluation) on organizational performance, descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the survey data. The result of the study showed that in Awash Bank S.C. at a 95% confidence level, the four training and development components have a favorable and significant impact on organizational performance. Training evaluation was the most important to have a favorable and substantial effect on organizational performance, followed by training methods, objectives of the training, training content, training needs assessment, selection of trainees and training delivery respectively. In addition, 89.6% of the variances in organizational performance in the bank were explained by the seven dimensions of training and development variables. The study suggested that in order to assist workers of the bank to do their job well, increase efficiency, and organizational performance, they need to receive adequate training relevant to their jobs. As a result, the management of Awash Bank S.C. should be aware of how crucial it is to offer training, as well as how important it is to assess performance after training has been completed, as doing so will result in a positive change in both their performance and the performance of the bank as a wholeen-USThesis
