Moreover, the findings of this study were analyzed through tabulation form, SPSS method and Microsoft Excel Program. A study designed to use 50 respondents from the whole population of the council to represent others of Bagamoyo District Council.
The study shows that most public service organizations have the training policy in the respective organizations but have failed to effectively implement them for the number of reasons including; corruption, poor communication within organizations, shortage of work force, favoritism, lack of management commitment, failure to get training leave, financial constraint, social and health problems and management bureaucracy.
However it is possible to implement fully the policy only if there is an institution mandated by law to assess this implementation in all public organizations.
