Current advances in technology and rapid transformation in the world have placed
increasingly severe demands on the human capital in public sector. The need for
improved and more varied skill levels, coupled with current economic constraints,
requires that modern public sector training programs impart the complicated, higherorder
skills required to perform to an acceptable level. Furthermore, this must be
accomplished in less time, and with a lower money investment than in past years.
This study discusses the factors affecting effectiveness implementation of training
programs at President’s Office-Public service management. The study had three
specific objectives namely; determining the current Training Practices at President’s
Office-Public Service Management, identification of the perceived benefits of
training programs at President’s Office-Public Service Management and exploring
the major challenges that usually trigger the implementation of training programs to
President's Office - Public Service Management. The researcher employed
qualitative and quantitative techniques, hence the methods triangulation. Data
collection instruments were questionnaires, personal interviews, and documentary
sources.
Data collected were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS)
mainly descriptive statistics (Frequencies & Statistical means). Data collected
through documentary review and personal interview were analysed using content
analysis. The study used a sample of 84 respondents from different departments of
the President’s Office-Public Service Management.
The findings showed that there is no agreement on training needs and priorities, lack
of commitment and shortage of funds, thus limiting the sustainability of programs.
Conclusively the research argues that the President’s Office-Public service
Management should restructure the training programs to bring social and economic
benefit and enhance organisational Performance. |
